Mulberry Trust Schools: Remote Energy Monitoring Installation

Throughout London

Project Details

Mulberry Trust Schools have 5 specialist School Campus locations in East London. Like many other trust schools they have a wide mixture of Mechanical & Electrical systems installed in their different buildings.

No Idea what the systems were costing to run.

Like all schools, saving energy is a high priority specially with the rising costs to operate the schools systems. The schools were having problems not knowing which systems were operating and when and what they were costing.

We recently completed the Installation of our IoT remote energy monitoring systems at 3 different school locations, to identify where savings in operational running costs could be achieved. In their Stepney campus we immediately identified that their heating and hot water systems were operating 24/7.

They were then able to change the settings and the savings produced an immediate 40% reduction in their gas bills which we validated through remote meter readings.

At their Shoreditch location we identified that the air conditioning units servicing the IT suite we also running at times when their was no one in the suite. Again these settings were changed and an immediate saving of 35% was achieved

One of the key objectives for CBRE was to understand energy consumption, and we agreed thresholds so that alerts could be created when consumption goes above certain levels.

Custom dashboards were created to show the live and historical energy consumption across a variety of assets including, heating, hot water and A/C systems

Addition of Additional Schools

Because of the savings that have been achieved and the fast paybacks, the schools other locations are now in the process of rolling out our Smart IoT systems to manage energy usage and we will be providing our remote monitoring and critical alarming data using a secure Mobile network, enabling monitoring of key items, especially when the site has less occupants.
