The challenge
Energy use across 200 commercial properties was visible only through monthly bills. HVAC and lighting ran to fixed schedules regardless of occupancy.
Collecting evidence for LEED and BREEAM certifications took weeks of manual work per building.
Our approach
Install smart meters
Meters and sensors track electricity, HVAC and occupancy in each building.
Centralise the data
All buildings report into one energy management platform.
Find the waste
Analytics flag after-hours use, faulty equipment and inefficient schedules.
Automate certification data
Reports for green building schemes are generated from live data.
The solution
Facility teams now see energy use for every building in real time and act on alerts about waste. HVAC and lighting schedules follow occupancy.
Certification evidence is available on demand instead of being rebuilt for every audit.
