Infrastructure for the E-Class Era: The New Standard for Work and Learning Environments.

The Only Power Ecosystem Built for the True Agile Workplace

We eliminate the 'last mile' of power constraints through battery-powered infrastructure. From Class-A offices to dynamic training labs, our Zero TI model replaces fixed electrical costs with mobile, high-yield assets like Respond! and CampFire—allowing your space to evolve without a single retrofit.

What is an E-Class Building? In an era of unpredictable occupancy, traditional Class A and B designations are no longer enough. An E-Class (Elastic-Class) building is a commercial asset designed for maximum liquidity. By utilizing August Berres' Zero TI protocol, E-Class buildings decouple power from the physical structure.

Instead of sinking capital into core-drilling and fixed wiring, E-Class owners deploy battery-powered Agile Furniture—including the Respond! system and CampFire desks. This "last mile" infrastructure allows you to:

Pivot in Hours: Switch a floorplate from a corporate headquarters to a high-density training lab without a single contractor.
Capture Value: Eliminate the "TI Tax" and drive higher NOI by providing tenants with instant, "plug-and-play" agility.
Future-Proof Assets: Deliver the high-power requirements of AI-driven teams without the constraints of 20th-century wiring.

E-Class isn't a building type; it’s a financial strategy that treats your infrastructure as a mobile asset, not a construction expense.

Why August Berres?

Redefining the Building Power Ecosystem

Traditional offices are financial sinkholes, trapping you with expensive AC wiring and rigid layouts. Standard PoE solutions promise modernization but still leave your furniture tethered by a cord.

August Berres offers a third, superior path. We leverage technologies such as fault-managed power (FMP) and battery-powered Agile Furniture to deliver:

Zero Tethering: Unlike PoE, our battery solutions allow for 100% mobility during the workday.
Zero Trenching: Eliminate the $100-$200 per sq. ft. cost of traditional AC retrofits.
Zero Danger: Replace high-risk 110V AC power with safe, low-voltage DC infrastructure.

The Tools of Unrestricted Agility

Respond!

Traditional office build-outs are a "sunk cost" the moment the lease is signed. Core-drilling, trenching, and static wiring are effectively a tax on your building’s Net Operating Income (NOI). Respond! flips this equation.

A Respond! workplace supports high productivity

CampFire: The collaborative hub that brings people together cord-free and hassle-free.

Juce Power Delivery Systems: Mobile Power where you need it; for devices, for displays, for pods.

C-Power: Innovative, portable DC power delivery via USB-C receptacles

As the cornerstone of the Zero TI model, Respond! is a suite of battery-powered Agile Furniture that delivers a completely untethered workplace. By decoupling power from the building's physical shell, Respond! allows asset managers and owners to:

Eliminate Retrofit Costs: Avoid the "last mile" expenses of traditional electrical installations.
Accelerate Speed-to-Market: Deploy a fully functional, tech-ready environment in days, not months.
Create "Elastic" Assets: Transition a space from a corporate headquarters to a collaborative training lab with zero construction required.

Respond! isn’t just furniture; it is a financial tool that ensures your square footage remains as liquid and adaptable as the tenants who occupy it. Stop investing in the floor—start investing in the freedom to move.

Engineering, Not Just Manufacturing

We aren't a furniture company guessing at power; we are electro-mechanical experts solving furniture problems. With decades of experience in the industry, we design smart power ecosystems that increase Net Operating Income (NOI) and future-proof your asset against the next shift in work trends.
