SINCE 1972, WE’VE BEEN INSIDE YOUR BUILDING SYSTEMS.
Now we’ve made them intelligent.
WHERE WE STARTED
FIFTY YEARS OF MECHANICAL GRIT.
Spere was founded in 1972 as a precision controls business. Before software. Before cloud infrastructure. Before anyone called it “smart building technology.”
For five decades, our team has worked inside the mechanical systems of commercial buildings: diagnosing failures, optimizing controls, understanding the gap between what
building equipment is designed to do and what it actually does under real operating
conditions.
That gap is where SPERE Power was built.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The building energy management market has a hardware problem. Most platforms require you to replace your existing control systems before the software can work. That’s not a technology limitation—it’s a business model. Proprietary hardware creates lock-in. Lock-in creates margin.
Spere made a different choice. SPERE Power connects to any existing building control system
using universal BACnet protocol. Your infrastructure stays. Our intelligence layers on top.
THREE PRINCIPLES. NO EXCEPTIONS.
HARDWARE-AGNOSTIC
SPERE Power communicates with any existing control system. No proprietary hardware. No infrastructure replacement. Most platforms require both. We require neither.
MONTH-TO-MONTH
Most competitors lock you in for years. SPERE Power is cancellable at any time. We don't mandate continuity. The results create it.
For buildings without existing networked control systems, Spere installs the necessary hardware fully funded through a shared savings arrangement. The monthly fee is more than offset by documented energy savings.
OUR COMMITMENT
Every energy saving is quantified. Every demand response event is documented. Every maintenance prediction is traceable. If the platform stops delivering, you should stop paying for it. We’re comfortable with that—because it hasn’t happened.
WHO WE ARE
Mitch Cook — Chief Executive Officer
Mitch Cook leads Spere as its CEO, carrying forward a family legacy in building energy management that began in 1972, when the company's predecessor, TEMSCO, was founded during the energy crisis.
Mitch has spent more than two decades working alongside his father in the business, hands-on in the mechanical and control systems of commercial buildings across Texas — an operation that has grown to more than 3,000 energy management installations, including 400+ quick-serve restaurants and 100+ auto dealerships.
Based in Denton, Texas, Mitch built Spere around a simple conviction: the electric bill that arrives every month shouldn't be something operators dread opening. With Spere, it becomes the one piece of mail they actually look forward to.
