Building a greener future for construction
The construction industry is a significant contributor to global energy use and carbon emissions, making sustainability a top priority for leading firms. McLaren Construction Group is committed to sustainable practices, working toward ambitious Net Zero targets: Scope 1 and 2 by 2025 and Scope 3 by 2045.
At their 10 Spring Gardens fit-out project in London—a historic transformation into 80,000 sq ft of environmentally friendly workspace—McLaren sought ways to minimise energy waste and carbon emissions on-site. With goals to achieve a NABERS 5* rating, EPC A, and BREEAM Excellent certification, measurable.energy’s smart socket technology offered a practical solution to align site operations with their sustainability goals.
Tackling energy waste on site
Managing energy use on construction sites can be complex. Devices like heaters are often left on unnecessarily, contributing to significant energy waste and carbon emissions.
For McLaren, the challenge was to:
- Identify energy waste on site operations without disruption.
- Eliminate plug power waste to reduce energy use.
- Measure and report carbon savings to align with sustainability targets.
AI-smart sockets: A practical solution
measurable.energy provided McLaren with a direct way to eliminate energy waste on-site. The AI-powered smart sockets detect when devices are not in use for long periods (such as overnight and weekends) and automatically switch them off to significantly reduce carbon emissions and lower electricity bills.
The system easily integrates into construction site operations requiring no manual intervention. By directly controlling plug power, the energy-saving technology supports McLaren’s net zero goals without adding complexity.
A data-driven success story
measurable.energy’s AI-powered smart sockets turned energy waste into energy savings:
These results demonstrate how simple but effective changes can significantly improve sustainability in the construction sector.
A blueprint for smarter construction sites
McLaren’s sustainability strategy focuses on breaking through current technological limitations by 2030 and pushing the boundaries of innovation from 2030 to 2045. As part of this journey, they are integrating solutions like measurable.energy’s smart sockets to tackle energy inefficiencies on-site, driving progress toward low-carbon, sustainable construction practices.
“Measurable.energy has helped us significantly cut our energy waste on-site. As well as helping educate the team on understanding their energy requirements and usage, we have observed significant energy and carbon savings to date whilst not disrupting operations, which is an ideal fit for our goals of adopting and advancing cutting-edge solutions to build a more sustainable future."
—Shaun Paterson, Site Manager for 10 Spring Gardens.
