2026 IoT Environmental Impact Award Winner: WellStat
WellStat.io has been named the winner of the 2026 IoT Environmental Impact Award for its environmental intelligence platform, a unified IoT solution that helps building operators reduce energy use, improve indoor environmental quality, and measure sustainability outcomes with greater precision and accountability.
About the Winning Solution
WellStat brings together energy intelligence, indoor and outdoor air-quality monitoring, tenant engagement, and demand-response optimization into one connected platform. Rather than treating sustainability as a collection of disconnected tools, WellStat gives commercial real-estate operators a more complete way to understand how energy, air quality, occupancy, and emissions interact across their buildings.
The platform combines connected hardware, cloud-based analytics, and interoperable infrastructure to capture and correlate data from electricity, gas, thermal energy, CO₂, particulate matter, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and other environmental inputs. That data is transformed into actionable intelligence that helps teams identify inefficiencies, improve operational performance, and support environmental reporting with measured results instead of assumptions.
WellStat’s real-world impact is already visible at portfolio scale. In one Baltimore office portfolio spanning 12 buildings and 1.6 million square feet, WellStat helped deliver an 8 to 10 percent reduction in energy usage, $169,000 in energy savings in six months, and a reduction of 1.65 million kWh through analytics, operational improvements, and behavioral engagement rather than costly capital upgrades.
“WellStat represents the kind of measurable, systems-level innovation this award was created to recognize. By connecting environmental data across energy, air quality, operations, and tenant experience, WellStat is helping buildings become more efficient, more accountable, and more resilient,” said Jordan Hayes, IoThinkTank Awards Coordinator.
“IoThinkTank spotlights outstanding achievements in the IoT industry, recognizing the pioneers who push the boundaries of innovation and sustainability.”
