Premier Modular integrates measurable.energy's AI-powered smart sockets to achieve significant energy and CO2 reductions across UK HMP sites.

 

AI meets modular: Energy efficiency in construction

Premier Modular, a leading provider of modular building solutions, teamed up with measurable.energy to transform sustainability across four key HMP sites as part of the Ministry of Justice's (MOJs) investment in new prisons.

By combining expertise in modular building with energy-efficient smart sockets, this partnership is pioneering sustainable construction practices, demonstrating significant reductions in energy consumption and carbon footprint.

 

Leading the charge in sustainable construction

Premier Modular is committed to driving sustainability through its operations and projects. Known for creating flexible, energy-efficient building, that minimise environmental impact. This approach ensures that their projects not only meet the demands of today’s construction industry but also align with modern sustainability goals.

Accelerating its journey to net zero emissions by 2035, Premier Modular, is integrating innovative technology to build smarter, greener buildings that deliver long-term cost benefits.

 

Smart sockets: Powering energy savings

As part of Premier Modular’s sustainability strategy, the AI-powered smart socket technology is deployed across numerous sites to deliver immediate results. The AI-driven dual-gang sockets and fused spurs do more than monitor energy use, they automatically remove plug power waste, reducing energy consumption, emissions, and costs.

Let the sockets do the heavy lifting:

  • Eliminate wasted plug power with automated appliance-level control.
  • Reduce energy consumption across sites, leading to significant operational savings.
  • Track real-time energy usage and carbon emissions, providing transparency and data-driven decision making to support sustainability goals.

The AI-powered plug sockets take the guesswork out of the energy usage of everyday devices.

Real results: Transforming HMP sites

The partnership between measurable.energy and Premier Modular, delivered by Kier Group, is making a real difference across four HMP sites – Glasgow, Lancaster, Channings Wood, and Northumberland.

Take a look at the impressive energy and carbon savings:

These savings speak for themselves – quite literally.

The automation of the smart sockets means that those working on site can focus on their day to day and let the machine learning handle the energy-saving. As long as equipment is plugged in and schedules are applied (ie turn off overnight or at weekends), the technology automatically detect and eliminate wasted energy.

 

Setting a new standard for green buildings

As the demand for energy-efficient and sustainable building solutions continues to grow, this partnership stands as a real-life example of how forward-thinking energy management technology can help create smarter, greener construction sites, contributing to the UK’s progress toward net zero.

This is the future of sustainable construction, today.

“Partnering with measurable.energy has been a highly effective way for us to enhance the sustainability of our modular buildings. We’ve always been committed to reducing our carbon footprint through innovations like our offsite manufacturing processes and renewable energy use in our factories. By integrating measurable.energy’s smart socket technology, we’re taking another important step forward in ensuring that our buildings don’t just perform well—they’re also energy-efficient from start to finish. This partnership helps us deliver smarter, greener spaces that contribute to a more sustainable future for construction.”          - Mark Rooney, Hire Divisional Director.

 

Dan Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of measurable.energy said:

“We’re proud to work with Premier Modular and be a part their mission to transform modular construction. Their dedication to innovation and take a leap forward to net zero mirrors our own vision to eliminate wasted energy and turn the tide on carbon emissions. Together we’re demonstrating how smart energy technology can drive real, measurable improvements. It’s fantastic to be part of their efforts toward more sustainable building practices, delivering results that make a difference.”
