The startup BlocPower uses software to identify buildings that are prime candidates to receive more efficient energy systems.

The company operates in New York, Oakland, California, and Milwaukee, with plans to expand to Baltimore, Washington, Los Angeles and Chicago. It has worked on 850 buildings in Brooklyn alone.
