The energy landscape is changing. Historically, the main energy challenge was the rising wholesale cost of the gas and electricity markets due to soaring oil prices.

Now, the situation has changed. Non-commodity costs (NCCs) are a mix of transmission, distribution, and other regulated charges that are paid on top of the

wholesale price of energy and form a significant portion of your energy bill. These charges are rapidly increasing, so taking control of these costs is now just

as important as buying at the right time.

Our in-house analysis shows that by 2025 non-commodity costs will account for the largest portion of your electricity bill at 60%.

Without sight of your energy data you cannot truly see what you’re using and when. Once you can see it, you need the tools to interpret it so you can understand

how to take necessary action to combat rising charges.

The only way to help mitigate these increasing charges it to use less energy. IoT is the enabler to help you do this. Gathering data is one thing understanding

what your building is telling you is another. Through the power of IoT you can optimise your buildings and use energy more intelligently to:

`What is an Intelligent Building?An intelligent building is a smart, integrated facility that is more efficient and cost effective to run than a

traditional site. It may have systems such as lighting, air conditioning, security, and fire that;

• operate automatically

• can be controlled remotely

• integrate on a single platform to complement and talk to each other, for example, temperature sensors

can automatically operate air conditioning

• provide you with clear, current energy data that details where, when, and how you use your energy

Cutting-edge technologies and integrated systems help to improve efficiencies and reduce wastage

leading to lower running costs. It’s important for forward thinking industrial and commercial businesses

to create an intelligent building to plug into the smart city of the future. Even more can be achieved when

combined with an intelligent energy strategy.

1. Discover your potentialAre you willing to let us identify how you’re using energy and how you can make improvements?

We can help you identify the true capabilities of your buildings to reveal opportunities for energy and cost savings.

To do this, we will undertake our 360 Strategic Review.

` 360 Strategic Review: a diagnostic analysis of your energy

Our 360 Strategic Review is the ideal first step to creating an Intelligent Building. It is key to unearthing hidden savings

potential within your business. Our review is an in-depth analysis of your business energy, which provides you with a

valuable report and clear actions you can take to cut your costs and consumption.

The savings identified are achievable through a range of measures, some of which require no upfront investment and can

be set in motion immediately.

Our reviews will:

` Outline how and why your energy costs are rising. ` Identify which areas you can explore to minimise costs and reduce risks.

We’ll need to find out if you have sub-metering or any traditional BMS installed.

Metering SolutionsOur metering solutions focus on sub-metering

to help you gain better insights into your energy

usage. Installing sub-metering devices ensures

you can monitor usage for tenants, different

departments or individual pieces of equipment

such as lighting and heating. All metering

data is accessible 24/7 on our cloud-based

software. Once you know where and when you’re

consuming energy you can take proactive action

to reduce wastage, cutting costs and carbon.

The Carbon Trust states that metering provides

energy savings of 10%. Sub-metering helps

identify areas of inefficiency to enable end users

to take action that can save a further 30% on

their bills.

Lighting SolutionsWe can install new lighting technology at your

sites. When integrated alongside IoT-enabled

monitoring and controls we can help you

save money and boost your CSR credentials.

Intelligent lighting controls can save 30-50%

on costs.

Integrated controls Our intelligent solution – Building Energy Management – has the ability to aggregate and integrate multiple data sources across your building infrastructure. It

gives a holistic view not only across different BMS systems but also other sub-systems such as parking, CCTV, access control, and lighting.

Energy Intelligence Centre12

Once these data sources are integrated, the platform enables you to develop analytics and controls capability based on ‘relationships’ between your systems

and put in place business rules (thresholds, alerts, and triggers). This automates the operation of your facilities, for example if your access control shows most

people have left your building the HVAC system will automatically reduce the level of air con being used and lower lighting levels.

You need to understand what your building is telling you through its data. That’s where our Intelligent Bureau service comes in.

We can provide a number of financial reports to help you better budget and plan ahead, considering any site or tenant charging requirements. At the same time our team can also drill into the detail of your usage. With our expertise and powerful analysis tools we deliver valuable insights. This identifies errors, anomalies and wastage that can uncover hidden cost, carbon and consumption savings. Our unique suite of reports include:

Our mix of building management, energy market,

and energy engineering expertise is the perfect

blend of skills to turn raw data into actionable

insights. The way our Triad Alert service integrates

with our IoT-enabled controls solution is a strong

example.

During the winter of 2017/18 we successfully

predicted all three Triad periods issuing just 9 red

‘Take action now’ alerts to our clients. We can then

feed this intelligence directly into our controls

software to ensure clients can use that insight to

make savings – whether that be automatically or

via alerts to make manual interventions.

In a previous season, a client saved in the region

of £800,000 by taking action based on our insight.

“We selected the solution due to its ability to connect to our network, ‘talk’ to our existing ac units and report back. We can now react to faults/failures prior to the store realising they have an issue. The capability to change settings without requiring a member of staff to do so is a great element of the system. We required an easy use interface with potential for expansion which was a big draw of the BMS.”
