Cloudfm how we fixed our energy problem

Energy Management

During the Covid-19 pandemic, staff across the UK adapted to working from home where possible. The team at Cloudfm in Colchester was no different and their almost 150-strong staff moved to working remotely.

The pandemic sparked a change for Cloud, and as the work from home order was lifted, the team were offered the option to work remotely if they wished. This shift in working patterns has also brought with it a change in energy consumption patterns. While a significant number of colleagues opt to  attend the office, occupation numbers vary considerably, from day to day.

With varying levels of energy consumption, it became increasingly important for building managers to find a way to understand and manage their energy usage.

One of the key challenges facing building managers was the lack of visibility about which assets were consuming energy and when. Without this level of understanding, it was difficult to construct a plan to reduce usage. And changing colleague behaviours towards energy, can be challenging.

Managers faced another hurdle when it came to implementing a realistic energy reduction strategy and reporting this progress to the board as part of Net Zero reporting.

Cloud’s Mindsett PRISM® device was installed at the office’s distribution board. The device’s innovative design was able to pull data directly from the relevant assets and use this information to provide a detailed outline of which assets were the biggest offenders for energy consumption.

With Mindsett’s data team’s reporting, energy consumption was broken down to MWh at the asset level, to help understand potential areas of saving.

The Mindsett data reports also offered actionable insights. These insights have helped colleagues understand, for example, why certain asset classes are showing an increase in consumption and in turn, those observations have changed staff attitudes towards energy usage at the office.
