For teams running Pelican thermostats across many buildings

Every zone.
A clearer view.

Zonefold turns the Pelican thermostats you already own into one operations view for every site. You get early fault warnings, incidents instead of alarm noise, energy waste in dollars, and an AI copilot that drafts changes for your approval.

Request a pilot See how it works

No new hardware. The pilot is read-only: nothing is sent to your thermostats.

Zonefold site view: the unit that needs attention first, D108 in Building D peaked 14.5 °F over setpoint, above a wall of every zone's temperature against its setpoint.

Results on real data

  • 7.9 hearlier warning than the vendor's own alarm for a failing unit (D108)
  • 70 → 29alerts rolled up into incidents a technician can act on
  • 195thermostats and 191 zones on a single screen

From one week of data at a public Pelican demo site, October 4–11, 2026.

Product

Your thermostats already know what's wrong.
Zonefold makes it obvious.

Thermostat apps are built for adjusting settings. Facilities teams running dozens of buildings need something else: to know which few units need attention, and why. Zonefold reads every unit's temperatures, setpoints and runtime and tells you.

Thermal wall

Every zone in every building on one screen, coloured by distance from setpoint. Hot rooms, failing units and setback mistakes stand out at a glance.

Early fault warnings

Detectors watch cooling capacity, short-cycling and supply-air temperature. They flag a struggling unit hours before it trips a vendor alarm or a complaint.

Incidents, not alarm noise

Related alerts on the same unit roll up into one incident, with the evidence attached: episodes, readings and timestamps.

Energy waste in dollars

Weekend and after-hours runtime, priced with each site's own tariff, plus optimal-start opportunities and CO₂ screening. Every figure is labelled measured, inferred or modelled.

A copilot that drafts, never acts

Ask "which unit needs attention first?" in plain English. The copilot reads only what your role can see, cites its sources, and drafts changes for a person to approve.

Roles down to the device

Owners, site managers, technicians, viewers and outside contractors each see exactly their buildings, and contractor access can be delegated and revoked.

Evidence first

See exactly why a unit was flagged

Each unit page shows the newest 48 hours of room temperature, setpoints, supply air and stage runtime, next to the incidents that cite them. Your technician arrives knowing what to check.

  • Readings, cycles and daily runtime from the thermostat itself
  • Data freshness shown on every figure
  • Cooling cost for the unit, priced with the site's tariff

How it works

Live in days, with the equipment you have

  1. 1

    Connect read-only

    Your Pelican administrator creates a dedicated user for Zonefold. We connect each site read-only. No hardware, no installers, no changes to your thermostats.

  2. 2

    Zonefold learns each unit

    History, runtime and setpoints are imported. Each unit's normal behaviour is learned, so faults stand out from ordinary schedules.

  3. 3

    Your team acts on what matters

    Incidents arrive ranked, with evidence. Technicians triage them, and owners see cost and comfort across every site.

Who it's for

Built for people responsible for many buildings

School districts

Comfortable classrooms on Monday morning, and no cooling of empty buildings all weekend.

Retail and restaurant chains

One view across every store, with the worst units first.

Property managers

Fewer tenant hot-and-cold calls, and evidence for every service visit.

HVAC contractors

Delegated access to the sites you service, and arrival knowing which unit to check.

Security

Enterprise controls from day one

  • Single sign-on with SAML or OIDC, MFA for sensitive actions, and SCIM deprovisioning
  • Isolation in the database itself: every query is filtered by row-level security for the signed-in person
  • Tamper-evident audit log: hash-chained, with who did what and the before and after values
  • Read-only by default: the pilot sends nothing to equipment, and changes are proposed and approved by people
  • AI with boundaries: the copilot only sees what your role allows and can never execute a change

FAQ

Questions

Do I need new hardware?

No. Zonefold works with the Pelican thermostats and gateways you already have, through Pelican's own interface.

Will Zonefold change my thermostat settings?

Not during a pilot: the connection is read-only. Any change the copilot drafts must be approved by an authorised person, and sending changes to equipment is a separate step you turn on later.

Is Zonefold made by Pelican?

No. Zonefold is independent software for organisations that use Pelican Wireless thermostats. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pelican Wireless Systems.

Who can see our data?

Only the people you invite, each limited to the sites, buildings or devices you assign. Isolation between organisations is enforced by the database itself.

Where do the numbers on this page come from?

From one week of real data at a public Pelican demo site (October 4–11, 2026), processed by Zonefold's detectors. Results at your sites will differ.
