American Marconi Wireless News - Encycle and TCS Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Scalable AI-Driven Multi-Site HVAC Optimization

SAN MARCOS, CA AND MIDDLETON, WI / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / Encycle Technologies, Inc., a data-driven technology company that deploys autonomous intelligence and analytics to improve commercial HVAC management, has announced a strategic partnership with TCS Building Automation Systems, a leading controls manufacturer that connects buildings with business strategy to optimize energy usage and reduce costs. Through this collaboration, Encycle's Swarm Logic^® technology will be integrated with the TCS Ubiquity Cloud platform, providing enterprise customers with enhanced HVAC fault detection, improved energy optimization, and fully automated demand response (ADR) capabilities across multi-site portfolios.

Ubiquity Cloud is a powerful building and energy management system designed for facility managers of multi-site enterprises. Accessible from any web browser, the platform transforms building data into actionable insights that improve equipment performance, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort. Built for retail, banking, restaurant, education, and other distributed facility environments, Ubiquity Cloud enables organizations to streamline remote device management, centralize data collection, and reduce operational expenditures.

Encycle's data-driven AI and ML Swarm solutions will complement Ubiquity Cloud by identifying mechanical HVAC issues, improving equipment longevity, reducing downtime, and enabling automated participation in demand response programs. The combined solution enables:

• Real-time operational insights on key metrics including environmental conditions, equipment status, control setpoints, and occupancy patterns.

• Cloud-level coordination of distributed HVAC assets across multiple locations, allowing Swarm Logic to calculate system-wide optimization strategies using patented machine-learning models.

• Automated execution of optimization commands through Ubiquity Cloud's existing control infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional on-site hardware.

• Scalable deployment using Ubiquity's native multi-site management framework, supporting portfolios ranging from dozens to thousands of locations.

"Our collaboration with Encycle enhances the analytical and automation capabilities of Ubiquity Cloud in a significant way," said Brian Tarbert, vice president of business development at TCS. "Customers will have energy management capabilities that historically required complex, hardware-heavy deployments. Now, multi-site operators can achieve higher operational efficiency quickly and easily."
