Para emerged with a powerful mission: to unleash the untapped potential of wasted data.
Para’s journey began within Dar’s cutting-edge headquarters nestled in Cairo’s Smart Village. It was here that our engineers recognized the potential for optimization and energy savings within their own HQ. This realization led them to tackle not just their own workplace but to address an industry-wide problem.
Our solution manifested as a unified, all-encompassing window—a single pane of glass. Within its boundaries, we would unlock the power of data that could tell us how to optimize our building’s energy consumption, understand and manage our portfolio, reach sustainability targets, measure and detect faults within our assets, and enhance the experience of our occupants.
Led by domain experts backed by 19,000 discipline-specific engineers and professionals with over 67 years of experience, the know-how of Dar engineers, developers, architects, data scientists, economists and subject matter experts is hardcoded in Para’s powerful algorithms and insightful 3D-enabled visualizations.
As the world’s first software solution to receive UL Smart Building Systems certification, our software ensures compliance, trustworthiness, and credibility.
We are on a mission to unlock the full potential of every built environment by allowing organizations to harness the power of data, uncover hidden value, be more sustainable, and improve people’s lives: one building, one project, and one person at a time.
