British Geological Survey × Optimal Monitoring

Creating an accessible foundation for estate-wide energy monitoring

Research campus buildings with illustrated energy-data connections.

Recover

Retain the available historical energy data.

Replace

Introduce Optimal Monitoring data loggers.

Consolidate

Bring monitored supplies into Emma AI.

Overview

British Geological Survey needed to improve how its energy data was collected, retained and accessed. The first priority was to establish a dependable foundation that could grow with the estate.

The challenge

Energy information was fragmented and not readily available through one accessible system. This limited visibility and made consistent estate-wide analysis more difficult.

Meter points

Ten additional points planned: six electricity, three heat and one water-flow point.

Utilities

Electricity, heat and water flow included in the expanded monitoring scope.

Platform

New data added to the site-wide software agreement.

The solution

Optimal Monitoring recovered available data, introduced its own loggers and consolidated monitored supplies into Emma AI. This created a scalable route for adding new equipment and utilities.

Key outcomes

  • Historical and live energy data accessible in one place — Emma AI.

  • New chiller data incorporated without the need for another licence.

  • Gathering, graphing and alerting supported centrally.

Looking ahead »

Optimal Monitoring will work closely with the BGS team over time to identify energy-saving opportunities, implement practical improvements and monitor their impact across the estate.
