Description

A former hedge fund building faced unexpectedly high electricity bills despite low occupancy, prompting building managers to enlist CarbonLnk to investigate and resolve the issue using sensor technology. The primary objective was to cut energy consumption and costs by 50%, which required overcoming the challenge of identifying the root causes of unexplained high energy usage. CarbonLnk’s intervention successfully pinpointed inefficiencies, revealing savings opportunities of up to 70%, and through the deployment of sensors and targeted remediation, the team achieved the desired 50% reduction in energy bills. This case highlights the value of proactive energy management and the impact of continuous monitoring in reducing operational costs.

Impact & Result

CarbonLnk identified unnecessary use of industrial kitchen and laundry equipment, along with a faulty breaker, as key causes of high energy use in a low-occupancy former hedge fund building. After remediation, daily consumption dropped from 1,200 to 685 kWh, cutting the January energy bill from £21,000 to £7,500 and saving 78.9 metric tons of CO₂ annually.
