About
Automated Building Exterior Diagnostics for Retrofitting and New Construction
Lamarr.AI helps building portfolio owners and operators make informed decisions about their building envelopes. We deliver scalable building enclosure intelligence that reveals thermal inefficiencies, water intrusion risks, and visual defects—turning inspections into ROI-driven, actionable insights for capital planning and long-term asset strategy.
Mission
To transform how building portfolios are understood and managed, by turning enclosure diagnostics into actionable intelligence that guides capital planning, risk management, and long-term asset strategy.

History
Built on Research. Designed for Real Buildings.
Founded in 2021 and commercially launched in 2023, Lamarr.AI grew out of more than a decade of applied research conducted at leading institutions including Georgia Tech, MIT, and Syracuse University, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and other partners. In 2025, Lamarr.AI further advanced envelope intelligence by pioneering Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) drone flights for large-scale building inspections.
