Founded to meet an opportunity to fundamentally change how society approaches health in the built environment, R-Zero develops the most effective and innovative technologies to create safer, healthier buildings for all. While most risk mitigation tactics require human behavior changes, we’re using technology to eliminate “decision-making” from the process, and automate better health outcomes in the built environment. Combining space utilization sensor technology, AI, ML, and IoT-connected hardware, our biosafety technology platform is the first designed to create indoor spaces that actively work to keep occupants safer, healthier and more productive. Together, we’re pioneering a new category at the intersection of science, health, and technology — to create buildings optimized for people. Today, R-Zero's products are enabling healthier indoor environments for hundreds of thousands of people across the country. As we deliver the future of Healthy Buildings, there’s never been a more exciting time to join our mission.
