Smart buildings & energy
Heating, lighting, occupancy and energy use, measured and controlled remotely, so waste is found and fixed. Connected securely, separate from your business network.
What it does
Most businesses know their total energy bill and very little about what drives it. Sub-meters, sensors and connected controls show where energy is used, room by room and hour by hour.
With that data, heating that runs to empty rooms, lights left on overnight and equipment that never switches off become obvious, and fixable remotely.
Schedules and set points adjusted remotely, room by room.
Lights that follow occupancy and daylight, not a forgotten switch.
See which spaces are used, and heat and light only those.
Usage broken down by floor, area or piece of equipment.
Security
Heating controllers, meters and lighting systems are rarely updated as often as office computers. Putting them on the same network as your business systems gives attackers an easier way in.
Building systems report over mobile, completely apart from your office network.
Connections can be kept private, so controls are not exposed publicly.
Maintenance firms can reach the system they need without access to your business network.
Pair it with better energy buying. Once you know how you use energy, our business energy team can help you buy it better.

Measure first, then act. Most of the value comes from finding the waste nobody could see.
Waste found and fixed, not guessed at.
Change schedules without a site visit.
Decisions based on measured usage.
Building systems separate from your network.
Where to start
Heating, cooling and lighting are usually the largest energy users in a commercial building, so they are where monitoring pays back fastest.
We help specify the meters, sensors and controls, connect them securely and support them afterwards, often alongside your heating or electrical contractor.
Connected monitoring puts every site on one dashboard, so the worst performers stand out straight away.

Common questions
A building where heating, lighting, energy use and occupancy are measured and can be controlled remotely, rather than left to timers and switches.
It keeps building systems separate from your business network, which is more secure, and keeps them reporting even if your office network changes or goes down.
It helps you find waste, such as heating empty rooms or lights left on overnight. The savings depend on the building and on acting on what the data shows.
Often not. Many existing systems can be monitored or controlled with added meters, sensors or controllers. We look at what you have first.
Yes. Access can be set up for the people who need it, without giving them access to your business network.
