m.e Platform
At measurable.energy we automatically identify and eliminate wasted energy in buildings, reducing CO2 emissions and electricity costs.
Automatically controls plug sockets and all the devices that are plugged in to turn off devices wasting energy.
Plug sockets can account for as much as 40% of a total building's energy use and half of that is completely wasted energy.
Details
The m.e Platform is a combination of machine learning-driven hardware and software that automatically identifies and eliminates wasted energy from buildings, reducing CO2 emissions and electricity costs.
We do this by controlling plug sockets and all the devices that are plugged in. Plug sockets can account for as much as 40% of a total building's energy use and half of that is completely wasted energy from devices left on when nobody is there.

Plug sockets can account for as much as 40% of a total building's energy use and half of that is completely wasted energy from devices left on when nobody is there.
When a user plugs a device into one of our sockets, we can identify what type of device it is (Monitor, TV, Water Cooler, Printer etc) and what state it is in (On/Off/Standby). We send the necessary energy consumption data over Wi-Fi to the cloud Hub where the machine learning can identify energy being wasted. E.g., The system sees that a building floor has 50 monitors all on standby, it sees there are no laptops plugged into the chargers, but the water cooler is still on, the printers are on, and the meeting room AV equipment is all on standby. The platform can determine that nobody is there and turn all those devices off, turning them back on before people return the next day or after the weekend.
Evidence
We have several case studies that prove the power the platform has to eliminate small power wasted energy.
In a London-based office, across 17 sockets a 43% reduction in small power energy use was delivered eliminating 1,943 kWh and 367 kg of CO2e per year with a full system payback in 11 months.
In a modular building, across 34 sockets, 6,972 kWh and 1.2 tonnes of CO2e were eliminated with a full system payback in 6 months.
