Smarter property portfolios engage us to deliver prop-tech strategies and financial modelling to de-risk investment, improve occupant experience, reduce costs and emissions, and provide new opportunities for energy management, grid integration and smart controls.
Buildings are evolving.
Investment in smart building technology offers opportunity to enhance property portfolio value and embed sustainability outcomes.
Increase operational performance with IoT technologies
Create energy security with embedded generation, storage and demand management
Improve occupant comfort and user experience
Lower capital and operational costs and ensure ROI
Reduce energy demand, costs and emissions
Generate income with building-to-grid systems
and drive towards net zero.
We enable our clients to make data-driven investment decisions. Utilising machine learning, we create quantifiable business cases for operational and energy solutions generated by our powerful modelling and simulation tool.
Our approach enables smart building owners to realise capability and unlock potential in the following areas:
Building energy management & environment
Save ~15% electricity usage by implementing a controls strategy to manage peak demand.
Save ~30% electricity usage by scheduling loads with model predictive controls.
Reduce carbon emissions and accurately report the results.
Building-to-grid
Generate income by providing demand response, FCAS and other network services.
Participate in the wholesale electricity market and avoid retailer margins.
Digital transformation
Identify redundant services and vendor systems. Some clients have covered their entire project cost by consolidating services and realising in-house capability.
Automating sustainability and mandatory reporting requirements as a result of digitalisation and a data-driven approach to operations.
Human-centric design
Boost creativity and productivity by reducing manual data gathering and curation, staff can focus attention on other areas. And achieving optimal thermal comfort and indoor environment quality.
Our methodology ensures that technology is derived from a well-defined value proposition. This ensures we reduce duplication & waste, in turn improving operational effectiveness and presenting new growth opportunities.
From strategy and design to application, monitoring and feedback, we ensure maximum value is delivered from smart building energy management solutions and technologies.
Review – documentation and visit sites to determine needs and develop functional requirements.
Research – suitable technology and market options to inform the design process.
Model – engineering and financial inputs to determine technical feasibility, and evaluate benefits, ROI and payback periods.
Create – a design brief that satisfies needs, considering objectives, features, timings and budgets.
Document – technical specifications and plans that provide clear instructions for internal and external teams.
Procure – the best price, conditions and quality from the market by leveraging our relationships with the industry.
Develop – business intelligence reports, and program smart technology and control algorithms to satisfy functional requirements and deliver class-leading smart building functions.
Support – the implementation and integration of technology into business systems via quality management, monitoring and feedback.
Evaluate – assess output against strategy and design, each operational cycle is an opportunity to iterate, reimplement and improve.
