38% less energy, 20% more savings

Unplug hidden energy waste 

PKF Francis Clark are an award-winning firm of chartered accountants and business advisers. The office, spanning 24,377 sq. ft. across four storeys, faced significant energy waste attributed to ‘plug power’ waste - energy not required by devices such as monitors, TVs, printers, AV equipment, chilled and hot water taps and heaters, and which are often left fully on or in standby mode overnight. Up to 40% of total electricity usage in most commercial office buildings can be attributed to this type of ‘plug power’ energy use.

Implementing smart solutions with measurable.energy

measurable.energy’s AI-powered sockets were installed into PKF Francis Clark’s office to identify and reduce unnecessary energy consumption by devices plugged into them. By using machine learning, the system automatically detects and manages power usage, ensuring devices are only consuming energy when necessary, and turns them off when not in use.

Achieving significant energy, carbon and cost savings

The deployment of measurable.energy's technology led to significant energy savings:

• Energy reduction: The office experienced a 38% reduction in energy consumption from the devices using the measurable.energy sockets.
• Cost savings: The reduction in energy usage will translate to over 20% savings on the office's energy costs.
• Operational efficiency: The smart sockets provided valuable data on power usage patterns, enabling better energy management and operational efficiency.
• Sustainability: The energy-saving measures supported ROCP and PKF Francis Clark's sustainability goals, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and a smaller environmental footprint.
  
  

"Invaluable insights and measurable savings"

Jim Solomon, Regional Facilities Manager at PKF-Francis Clark, said:

"Since deploying measurable.energy's AI-powered sockets, we have not only reduced our office's energy consumption of the devices using the sockets by 38%, but have also gained invaluable insights into our power usage patterns. This technology has been instrumental in our efforts to operate more sustainably and efficiently."

Targeting plug power for big results

Dan Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of measurable.energy, emphasised the importance of not overlooking small power waste:

"My electricity-saving message to companies is to not be fooled by the small size of certain devices. A very high percentage of an office occupier’s electricity bill hides in the shadows, among small gadgets and forgotten chargers. This silent power drain adds up faster than tenants think, and without ever realising it. Powered by machine learning, our plug sockets will automatically identify and eliminate ‘plug power’ waste for PKF Francis Clark, turning every appliance in their Bristol office into a cost-saving superhero."
