AI-powered sustainability: How law firms can achieve energy & carbon savings

AI-powered sustainability: How law firms can achieve energy & carbon savings

Uncover hidden energy savings in your law firm with AI-powered solutions.

Increasing regulatory demands 

Increasing regulatory demands are driving law firms to rethink their approach to energy use and carbon emissions. But navigating these complex requirements while maintaining operational efficiency can be challenging.

One surprisingly simple solution comes in the form of AI-powered technology and plug sockets, designed to optimise energy consumption and reduce carbon footprints in commercial buildings. Here’s how measurable.energy is helping forward-thinking firms like Shoosmiths and Penningtons Manches Cooper generate significant energy savings and achieve sustainability goals.

Finding the right energy management solution

For many firms, the challenge lies in finding solutions that comply with increasing sustainability requirements without disrupting day-to-day operations, slowing down productivity, or requiring significant upfront investment. Solutions need to deliver a fast payback, be easy to implement, and integrate seamlessly into existing workflows.

This is where AI-powered energy management technology offers a practical yet effective solution. By using intelligent automation, firms can reduce energy waste and cut carbon emissions without the need for complex infrastructure changes or manual intervention.

Spotlight on sustainability leaders

Leading UK law firms are recognising that their commitment to environmental responsibility extends beyond legal advice—it’s about transforming their own impact.

Members of the Legal Sustainability Alliance (LSA) are setting new standards for carbon reduction by integrating innovative energy efficiency solutions to achieve real results. Both Shoosmiths and Penningtons Manches Cooper have installed measurable.energy's AI-powered sockets to tackle one of the most overlooked sources of energy consumption—plug power waste*. This energy waste leads to unnecessary costs and carbon emissions, impacting a firm’s ability to meet its sustainability targets.

*What is Plug Power?
Plug Power is the electricity used by equipment like monitors, printers, TVs and hot water taps. It includes plugged-in devices as well as equipment connected via fused spurs. 40% of the energy used in a typical commercial building is from plug power. And half of that is wasted when devices are left on standby or unused overnight, weekends, or even during meetings. This constant drain adds up quickly, impacting both budgets and the environment by creating unnecessary carbon emissions.
 

Enhancing sustainability with AI-powered energy solutions

measurable.energy AI-powered sockets use machine learning to identify energy use patterns and automate the on/off cycles of plugged-in devices. This technology has helped firms to significantly reduce energy waste and lower their carbon emissions, all while strengthening their alignment with sustainability goals.

The benefits for law firms are clear:

  • Reduced energy use: Automated energy management ensures devices only consume power when needed, leading to significant reductions in overall energy consumption.
  • Lower carbon emissions: By optimising energy use, firms can directly reduce their carbon footprint, aligning with both regulatory requirements and corporate social responsibility objectives.
  • Cost savings: Lower energy consumption means reduced utility bills, helping firms cut operational costs while enhancing their sustainability profile.

Why now is the time to act

The legal sector is at a pivotal moment. As sustainability becomes a top priority, firms that adopt advanced technologies not only gain a competitive edge but also meet the growing expectations of clients and regulators. For LSA members and other law firms committed to sustainability, integrating solutions like measurable.energy’s AI-powered smart sockets can further their journey toward net zero.

By reducing environmental impact and operational costs, these firms position themselves as leaders in the green transition, enhancing their reputation and securing a sustainable future.
