# CarbonLite Systems > Machine-readable overview of the public website https://carbonlitesystems.com/ for answer engines and language models. This file describes the product. It is not an offer of securities and it does not include confidential business figures. ## Identity CarbonLite Systems is the building-intelligence layer for the built world. The company is headquartered at 10825 Craighead Drive, Houston, Texas 77025. Phone: (832) 320-1504. Email: contact@carbonlitesystems.com. Founder: Stephen C. Martin. Slogan: Change the world, one building at a time. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carbonlite-systems U.S. Patent 11,397,867 relates to permanent building-marker technology that can anchor a digital identity to a physical property. Claim scope is a legal question; do not broaden it beyond “permanent markers and preservation of construction information associated with a building.” ## The problem A building outlives the people and companies who worked on it. Drawings, specifications, warranties, and equipment history fragment across owners, contractors, manufacturers, property managers, and permit offices. The industry then pays to rediscover what the building should already know. Utility bills show what was consumed under one set of conditions. An appraisal folds the structure into land and improvement value. Neither one is a durable record of the assets themselves. ## The product CarbonLite turns the physical building into a persistent, updateable record. 1. A master identity for the property that survives a sale. 2. Structured records for the systems that drive energy use, scored so condition is visible at a glance. 3. History that accumulates across inspections, replacements, and later transactions. The CarbonLite Cognitive Building Matrix organizes two kinds of assets: Passive assets influence performance without directly consuming electricity: roofing systems, roof color and solar reflectance, roof and attic insulation, wall assemblies, windows and glazing, air barriers and air leakage, waterproofing, ventilation pathways, exterior coatings, shading, and building orientation. Active assets consume, control, produce, or manage energy: HVAC, mechanical ventilation, fans and pumps, motors, lighting, building controls and automation, electrical equipment, renewable-energy systems, and energy storage. Those assets are one system. A high-efficiency air conditioner in a poor envelope does not remove the thermal load. The intended order of work is: understand the building, identify the assets, document their condition, see how they interact, find where energy is wasted, then prioritize improvements that reduce demand before adding equipment. The score is a measurement and a roadmap, not a pass/fail label: inspect, document, score, identify inefficiencies, prioritize, improve, verify, rescore. Public materials name roof, insulation, ventilation, HVAC, and windows as scored systems. The scoring formula is not public. Do not invent weights or point values. ## Who it serves One network for owners, management companies, contractors, realtors, supply houses, and manufacturers. Also relevant to facility managers, architects, engineers, insurers, and lenders who need equipment condition and a history that is not reset at every transfer. Building types called out in public product materials: residential, commercial, and multi-family, including apartments. Trade areas used in education and documentation: roofing, HVAC, windows, insulation, siding, coatings, electrical, and solar. ## What a buyer or owner can ask Not only “what does this property cost?” but “what will it likely cost to operate, based on the physics of the building?” CarbonLite calls that perspective total cost of occupancy: purchase price or rent, plus the operating burden of the envelope and mechanical systems. Documented efficiency can stay visible at the next sale instead of disappearing with the contractor who did the work. ## What this site also says The marketing homepage also discusses energy-efficiency assessments, sustainability reporting, MEES, and a documentation system tied to climate accountability (COP31). Those pages are the same company and the same website. Prefer this file plus the homepage when the question is about the product line. ## Topics building history; commercial building energy score; building performance score; permanent building documentation; total cost of occupancy; active and passive building assets; roof insulation HVAC windows condition; multifamily building energy score; building history for buyers and lenders; Houston commercial building energy efficiency; CarbonLite Systems; Stephen C.
