Build 'EcoMonitor'—a $10K/year SaaS + hardware platform combining low-cost sensors with AI-driven compliance reporting. The platform would: 1) Deploy plug-and-play IoT nodes (e.g., $500/unit) to monitor HVAC, lighting, and occupancy (e.g., 'Floor #XYZ: 8.2 kWh/sq ft—above benchmark'); 2) Provide a 'Compliance Dashboard' showing real-time EPA violations (e.g., 'CO2 levels: 1200 ppm—action required'); 3) Integrate with building management systems (e.g., Trane, Johnson Controls) to auto-generate reports (e.g., 'EPA Form 2026: Ready for submission'); 4) Offer a 'Fine Avoidance Calculator' showing cost savings (e.g., '$25K saved in potential fines').

Building managers face $10K-$50K fines for non-compliance, but current monitoring systems are expensive ($30K+), complex, and require specialized labor. Manual reporting leads to errors and audit risks.
