Energy saving case studies from clients that we work with

With Optimal Monitoring our client gained a clear, consistent view of its global energy use and carbon impact, starting with its UK estate. Using our AI-driven solution – EMMA AI we captured data from across a diverse portfolio of buildings, each with varying infrastructure and metering maturity, and use this to drive down waste and build a full carbon picture across all operations.

For a large retail business, an energy monitoring solution needs to work across many sites without creating operational burden. Emma AI’s ability to use existing meter data meant the pilot could be delivered quickly, while the automated analysis helped reduce the need for time-consuming manual review.

The solution also provided a practical route from pilot to wider rollout. Once the initial results demonstrated value, Card Factory was able to expand the approach across a much larger number of stores, supporting both immediate savings and longer-term energy management.

The University of Sussex had set ambitious environmental goals aligned with EU and UK policy. To reach these targets, they needed clear visibility of how energy and water were used across a large and diverse estate. They also needed a strategy that would deliver value within tight annual budgets.

Optimal Monitoring deployed EMMA AI® to turn Betfred’s existing energy data into real-time, actionable insight. The AI platform analysed data daily, identifying abnormal usage and creating instant work tickets for shop teams.

With ambitious sustainability targets across the NHS, Russells Hall Hospital needed to assess the efficiency of its heat network, including CHP operations.

Wincanton partnered with Optimal Monitoring to gain greater visibility of energy use and drive energy efficiency across a fast-growing supply chain operation.
