Baseline and opportunity study
We establish what you consume today, where it goes, and the three changes with the shortest payback.

Service 07
Sustainable Technology
Energy is one of the largest controllable costs a building or operation has, and one of the least watched. Intelligence makes it visible, then makes it smaller, and produces the ESG evidence as a by-product.
The problem we solve
What this is
Sustainability work fails for a dull reason: the data arrives monthly, in a bill, aggregated, too late to act on. By the time anyone notices the anomaly, three months of it have already been paid for.
We meter at the level where decisions are made, model what consumption should be given weather and occupancy, and alert on the difference. The same data stream then produces the ESG and carbon reporting you are increasingly asked for.
Typical result: measurable energy savings and audit-ready ESG data.
Fit
Who this is for
A good fit if
- Property owners and operators facing energy costs and efficiency targets at the same time.
- Companies that must report ESG data and are assembling it by hand each quarter.
- Developers who want sustainability designed in rather than certified afterwards.
- Operations teams asked to cut consumption without reducing comfort or output.
- Organisations whose AI and data workloads are now a visible part of the energy bill.
Probably not yet if
- You need a certificate for a tender and nothing in the building will actually change.
- Consumption data does not exist and no one is willing to install metering.
- The equipment is at the end of its life and replacement is already funded.
If one of these is true we will say so in the first call, and tell you what to fix first.
Engagement
How we can work together
Optimisation project
Controls, scheduling and AI-driven setpoints implemented on a defined scope, with savings verified against the baseline.
ESG data platform
Automated collection, calculation and audit-ready reporting, so the quarterly report stops being a manual exercise.
Every engagement starts with a free consultation and a written proposal. Scope, price and the measure of success are agreed before any work begins.
Deliverables
What you get
Energy visibility
Sub-metering by floor, tenant, system or process, so a number has somebody's name attached to it.
Baselines and anomalies
Weather-normalised models of expected consumption, and an alert when reality drifts away from them.
Optimisation
Schedules, setpoints and control strategies tuned with AI, including recommendations your team can approve.
Carbon accounting
Scope 1 and 2 from your own meters, scope 3 where data allows, with the assumptions written down.
ESG reporting
Audit-ready exports aligned to the frameworks you report against, produced from data rather than estimates.
A savings case
Each recommendation costed, with payback period, so the decision is financial rather than ideological.
Process
How it works
- 01
Benchmark
Twelve months of bills and whatever meter data exists, turned into a picture of where the energy actually goes.
- 02
Instrument
Sub-meters and sensors where the picture is blurred, connected to the platform and verified.
- 03
Model
Expected consumption learned from your own operation, not from a textbook building.
- 04
Act
A ranked list of changes: the free ones first, then the cheap ones, then the capital ones with their payback.
- 05
Verify
Measurement after the change, so savings are proven rather than claimed, and reported the same way every month.
Use cases
Where it fits
- Owners and developers reducing common-area running costs across a portfolio.
- Hotels and malls where chiller plant is the single biggest line on the bill.
- Manufacturers tracking energy per unit produced rather than per month.
- Companies facing ESG reporting obligations for the first time.
- Smart-city and community projects that must report performance publicly.
What we build it with
- Sub-metering and IoT sensing
- Weather-normalised regression and machine-learning baselines
- Integration with BMS, chiller and solar inverters
- Carbon factors maintained and documented
- Dashboards for operators and for the board
- Export to the ESG frameworks you report against
What we need from you
- Twelve months of utility bills
- Access to the meter room and the BMS
- A facilities contact who knows the quirks of the site
- Clarity on which framework you report against, if any
Accountability
What we measure
We agree the numbers before the work starts and report against them afterwards. These are the measures that usually matter for this service.
- Kilowatt hours per square metre, against a verified baseline
- Peak demand and the cost of the peak
- Water use and recovered leakage
- Emissions by scope, and how much of it is measured rather than estimated
- Payback period actually achieved, not the one in the proposal
- Comfort and output held steady while consumption falls
Experience
Mistakes we help you avoid
- Reporting instead of reducingA beautiful ESG report with no operational change is an expensive document and an audit risk.
- No verified baselineWithout a measured starting point, every saving is an argument. With one, it is arithmetic.
- Comfort paid for in silenceSavings that make the building uncomfortable get reversed by the first complaint, and then blamed on the technology.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How much can we expect to save?
It depends entirely on the site, which is why we benchmark before promising anything. The benchmark itself usually pays for itself in the first few corrections it uncovers.
Is this only for large buildings?
No. Any operation with a meaningful utility bill or a reporting obligation benefits, including single sites and small portfolios.
Do you sell the hardware?
We specify and install what the site needs and remain vendor-neutral. You can buy the hardware directly if you prefer.
Will the reporting satisfy an auditor?
That is the design intent: measured data, documented factors, stated assumptions and a traceable method, rather than a spreadsheet of estimates.
