experts in energy reduction and the digitisation of buildings

How do we reduce energy consumption?

We use data, technology and our industry expertise to define, manage and run energy saving programs. 

Where it makes sense, we transform buildings using smart technology to automate energy saving programs and enable new data driven opportunities.

After energy saving, what's next?

Insight Generation


Businesses have a good idea about their customers before and after they enter their store, but know less about how they engage on site.


We repurpose your smart infrastructure (funded by energy savings) to surface new insights that help to inform decision making and drive revenues.


Answering questions about store formatting, marketing effectiveness, staff engagement and much more.



Digitization of Operations


Managing and operating large building portfolios can be challenging, with lots of moving parts, contributors and red tape. 


Leveraging the new technology and available data, automate the management of your property portfolio, with the new ability to plan, execute and monitor activities. 


This Computer Aided Facilities Management (or CAFM) capability is delivered through a platform with UI optimised for all relevant stakeholders.

Air Quality Optimisation


People spend 90% of their lives indoors, the quality of these environments is imperative to our health and wellbeing.


Better environments mean happier, more productive and more loyal staff and customers alike.


Using implemented smart technology, we can monitor and control air quality, to then put measures in place to optimise. Data is also then available to publish to occupants to promote efforts.

WHAT THEY SAY...

"The project has been self-funding almost from the start, and the Beyond ESG team’s energy and experience has galvanised the internal team to realise a 30% reduction in energy usage. I feel confident that we will reduce costs well ahead of our budget. I wish all projects could be so easy to implement!”

Charlotte Walker, Finance Director, Robert Dyas

WHAT THEY SAY...

“The structured and pragmatic approach to this project has allowed DFS to unlock a wealth of unrealised potential in a short space of time with a process that has been full of energy and fun where work no longer feels like work”. We are tracking at 27% savings on power consumption to date and are starting to re-use the Smart Infrastructure to deliver Insights to drive increased revenues."

Angeline Griffin, Head of Property and Contracts, DFS Group LtD

WHAT THEY SAY...

"By monitoring conditions in all rooms, the system has provided us with unparalleled levels of control over air quality, heating and cooling, allowing us to monitor energy use in real time. With this system in place we have seen significant reductions in energy usage and can run the whole site on less energy per hour than it takes to run a shower. Consequently, we are now taking these ideas to our other properties and looking at similar ways to improve efficiency.

Maria Willings, Speedy Regional Director, speedy services

Deriving value from smart buildings by putting the data to work

Beyond ESG use data, technology and industry expertise to define, manage and run energy saving programs. Where it makes sense, we transform buildings using smart technology to automate energy saving programs and enable new data driven opportunities. 28% contribution to greenhouse gases, this was the latest figure published by the World Green Building Council who claimed this is the contribution of operational emissions from buildings. That’s not including the construction and material downstream which also adds a significant amount of carbon (11% of global emissions, resulting in 39% total). It’s no surprise then that this big problem has received a lot of attention. Thankfully we’re in the 4 th industrial revolution, one of AI and smart technology which opens up new realms of opportunity. Enter digitized buildings. Connected by IoT and supported by data science, this enables unparalleled levels of control and monitoring, allowing for the optimisation of buildings across an array of metrics. Reverting to the problem identified (i.e. 28% contribution of GHG), one use case of connected buildings is improved energy efficiency. With the right infrastructure feeding the right data with the right level of control, we can optimise the use of lighting, heating and even improve air quality to provide the best working or shopping environments for our occupants. Two simple examples of this are: 1. The optimisation of indoor temperature based on data from the outdoor environment and the occupancy levels of the building. i.e. if it’s 30 degrees outside and people are working from home on a Monday, adjust the HVAC to run low and conserve energy. 2. The monitoring of rooms across an estate to measure occupancy and switch off or dim lighting based on usage, most obviously this helps to switch of lights at night (where you’d be surprised at how much energy is wasted). These are two examples, but they range in complexity. At the heart of this capability is the building management system (BMS), with this in place the opportunities are aplenty. Every property and its usage is unique, it’s for experienced engineers and data scientists to assess the data and provide insight into where the best energy saving programs can be had. While energy saving is important and a timely problem, we shouldn’t forget the wider benefits that connected buildings bring. Using the same level of control, we can optimise lighting to reduce problems like eye strain and air quality improve comfort and productivity. Stuffy humid office environments create frustration and distraction among staff, by taking control centrally this can be avoided. Chris Whitty, our chief medical officer, said "monitoring indoor air quality should become standard practice in public spaces and urgent investment is needed". Benefits stretch even further, with CAFM (computer aided facilities management), owners can take advantage of improved efficiencies in asset management, reducing optional costs and empowering internal teams to take control. For example, streamlining facilities management, with data from sites on asset performance we can distribute, track and complete work to be done in way that previously required significant internal headcount or external suppliers. In another example, we can use IoT technology such as vibration sensors to feedback data on when an asset is showing unusual signs of operation. Say hello to predictive maintenance. Downtime on major assets can often result in significant costs per day, if operators can get even a 24 hours heads up, this can avoid major costs to the business. In summary, the benefits are vast from connected buildings and they will only grow as we see continued innovation in technology and processes. There’s an immediate need to cut energy bills, so the commercial benefits are there for the taking. But the long-term requirement of decarbonisation should be equally considered. The SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative) has their framework for building decarbonisation out in July 2023, so keep a close eye on that. Aside from energy, our people are important assets, their requirements are increasing and the data on the effect of internal environments on their productivity is continuing to reinforce the importance of this focus. Haven’t taken the first steps on this major change program? Don’t worry, Beyond ESG can help start and steer on this journey. Our next article will talk about why these endeavours fail, so keep an eye out for that. Nick Robinson is an experienced Founder and Co-Founder who has been in the IT industry for 25 years. Nick talks about the adoption of New Technologies, IOT, Energy Savings and ESG. He is a 2023 Honoree for ESG Programming (ALM Consulting Awards) and 2022 Winner of the Energy Saving Project of the Year (BCIA). His purpose is to enable our clients to execute of their Net Zero Strategies.
