Rethink Retrofit | Smart Building Energy Control That Works

Stop Treating Energy Like a Fixed Cost

Because smart building energy control doesn’t start with demolition: it starts with a socket.

Retrofit. For most, the word still conjures images of scaffolding, disruption, and seven-figure costs. But here’s the reality:

You don’t need to rip everything out to cut carbon or hit your ESG goals.
What you need is building energy control at the level where the waste is hiding.

Most Buildings Are Already Behind

Over 70% of the UK’s non-residential buildings were built before 2000.
And by 2050? 80% of the buildings we’ll be using are already standing.

That makes rebuilds a non-starter - for cost and carbon reasons.

And yet, more than 13,000 commercial properties in England and Wales still carry EPC ratings of F or G.

The 2030 MEES target? Most buildings are going to miss it by a mile, unless something changes fast.

The Real Retrofit Opportunity? Plugged-In Waste

Even “high-performing” buildings are bleeding energy through unmanaged devices:

• Desk heaters running overnight
• Monitors left on all weekend
• Vending machines that never sleep

None of it’s visible in your BMS. None of it’s controlled. But all of it adds up: to cost, carbon, and compliance risk.

This is where building energy control gets serious: appliance-level insight and automation that closes the gap your systems can’t.

Retrofit Smarter. Not Harder.

You don’t need invasive installs. You need visibility and control where your existing systems go blind.

That means starting at the socket.

measurable.energy’s solution delivers:

• Real-time building energy control at appliance level
• Automated shutoffs for idle equipment
• Fire safety protection via overload detection
• Occupancy insights to reduce space waste
• Audit-ready ESG reporting backed by data

All without rewiring. All without disrupting tenants. And all with rapid, measurable results.

Proof? We’ve Got It.

These aren’t projections. They’re verified outcomes:

That’s building energy control doing what traditional systems can’t: finding and stopping the silent drain.

Why It Matters Now

• Appliance energy use is rising
• Tenants are demanding greener buildings
• Carbon compliance is going from optional to enforced
• And the retrofit gap isn’t going away on its own

The cost of waiting? Missed savings, missed targets, and missed opportunities to lead on smarter energy management. 

The Bottom Line

Forget million-pound refurbs. Forget waiting on budget cycles.

You already have energy waste.
You already have the tools to stop it.

Start where the BMS stops.
Plug in building energy control.
And turn retrofit from a headache into a strategic win.

 

Turn Passive Monitoring into Profit-Saving Control.
