British Geological Survey: AI-enabled multi-utility monitoring across a complex research estate

  • Sector: Scientific Research and Public Sector
  • Client: British Geological Survey
  • Challenge: Improve access to fragmented energy data and establish a monitoring platform capable of expanding across a complex scientific research estate.
  • Solution: Recovered available data, introduced Optimal Monitoring data loggers and consolidated monitored supplies within EMMA AI. The platform is being expanded through a chiller project covering ten additional meter points across electricity, heat and water flow.
  • Impact: Established a central, scalable approach to multi-utility monitoring, with new data incorporated into BGS’s site-wide software agreement. Optimal Monitoring will work closely with BGS to use EMMA AI to identify savings opportunities, implement practical improvements and monitor their impact.

British Geological Survey worked with Optimal Monitoring to bring fragmented energy data into one accessible monitoring platform – Emma AI.

Following the initial data recovery and installation of Optimal Monitoring loggers, BGS is expanding its coverage through a chiller-monitoring project involving ten additional meter points across electricity, heat and water flow.

Optimal Monitoring will now work closely with BGS to use Emma AI to identify savings opportunities, support practical improvements and monitor their impact across the estate.

  • 10 additional meter points planned
  • 3 utilities brought into view
  • Site-wide monitoring platform
  • Automated analysis, alerting and reporting

EMMA AI - the energy management platform

EMMA AI is a unique Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that measures energy consumption across your individual sites, pinpointing exactly where money is being wasted and taking proactive measures to reduce the waste – all without having to install a single piece of equipment!
