Discover how BGEN cut energy waste by 51% -reducing costs, emissions, and driving real sustainability impact.
BGEN's sustainability ambitions
BGEN is one of the UK’s largest engineering companies, specialising in mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, and automation (MEICA) and delivering critical infrastructure projects in multiple sectors.
BGEN is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions, and playing its part in the fight against climate change.
Their approach to achieving this is clear:
- Eliminate avoidable emissions
- Reduce overall emissions with technologies and behaviour change.
- Substitute carbon intensive solutions with efficient alternatives.
- Compensate for unavoidable emissions through verified environmental projects.
Sustainable change with smart technology
A key challenge in this journey was tackling unnecessary energy consumption from plug-powered equipment in office spaces – an often overlooked but substantial source of energy waste.
Office equipment and devices such as monitors, printers, and heaters were consuming power even during non-working hours, leading to:
- Unnecessary energy usage
- Increased operational costs
- Higher carbon emissions
- Slowing down achievement of reduction targets.
The solution: Smart energy management with measurable.energy
To address this challenge, BGEN implemented measurable.energy’s AI-powered smart socket technology across two office locations—Firecrest and Stafford.
The smart socket and fused spur technology provides:
- Automated power down for plugged-in devices when not in use
- Appliance-level control to easily manage always-on equipment
- Real-time energy monitoring for straightforward energy and carbon reporting
- A quick, non-disruptive installation process.
Measurable energy, cost & carbon savings
After just six months, the impact was clear:
Projected annual impact
Green building innovation made simple
This example demonstrates how to add modern green building technology without extensive retrofitting. Key benefits include:
- Quick installation process
- Minimal disruption to operations
- Immediate energy consumption reduction
- Automated efficiency improvements.
The energy saving solution is highly scalable and can be expanded to multiple locations, offering increasing financial and environmental benefits over time.
Real-world impact
"Partnering with measurable.energy has allowed us to make a real difference, fast. Their smart socket technology has helped us reduce energy consumption significantly, supporting our mission to engineer a more sustainable future. This is just one of the many steps we are taking to achieve our net zero ambitions." — Amy Twist, Head of Sustainability, BGEN Ltd.
