Could you build this?

Partial Facilities management ticketing and basic utility tracking dashboards are vibe-codeable, but real-time commercial/school building energy optimization requires interfacing with heterogeneous IoT hardware protocols like BACnet and Modbus. Real-time telemetry ingestion and verification logic add infrastructure complexity.

What it would actually take: Requires an on-premise or gateway IoT integration layer speaking industrial building automation protocols (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT), streaming into a time-series database (TimescaleDB or InfluxDB). A Python-based analytics engine models baseline energy consumption and detects anomalies against ambient weather and occupancy schedules. Requires IoT hardware networking skills alongside standard full-stack development.
