Problem Addressed

Buildings are the gas-guzzlers of the real-estate industry, and a large amount of money is wasted every year on inappropriate energy usage. As a result, many organisations struggle with听managing their energy costs and听迟辞听decrease their carbon emissions.听Studies demonstrate that energy savings can be increased by combining real-time occupancy data with building management strategies.

Solution Overview

BlockDox is an award winning听proptech听focused data science company, based in London but working across the UK and internationally.听Using IoT and artificial intelligence, the patented technology helps organisations who have large real estate portfolios manage and exceed their sustainability goals, reduce operational wastage, increase profitability and improve space utilisation.听BlockDox works across multiple space types and is privacy compliant.听

By aggregating and interpreting data from spaces, people and听services, BlockDox delivers multiple benefits.听It听gathers听data from multiple sources including听state-of-the-art sensors which听reliably听measure the overall health of a space: occupancy, energy consumption听and indoor air quality levels (C02, temperature, humidity, particulates).听The sensors听used听are easy to install but are hardware agnostic so if a building already has appropriate sensors installed, these do not need to be replaced.听听

The听intelligent platform brings meaning to data as real-time, predictive and actionable insights visualised听in听a听user-friendly dashboard听and available via a data feed. Using advanced algorithms,听it听delivers听the听missing insights from multiple data streams to provide key context听and听facilitate听efficient听space management.听

It听aims听to help organisations achieve savings of up to 20% on energy bills and decrease听their carbon footprint. The听solution focuses on identifying energy saving opportunities within听physical spaces. With BlockDox, organisations can save on their energy bills, significantly decrease their carbon footprint and, most importantly, contribute to the fight against climate change.听叠濒辞肠办顿辞虫鈥檚听Climate Impact has been independently validated and certified by Impact Forecast. In summary, every 5 years BlockDox can听help clients save over 1 million tons of C02. That’s equivalent to:听

  • 16,100,650 trees (approximately the size of Guernsey in land mass or Barbados / Kuwait in forested area)听
  • 1,787,289 passengers flying London-New York (approximately half of all passengers who flew to JFK from London in 2019 or more than the total no of passengers that flew on Norwegian Air or BA to/from New York in 2017)听
  • 219,026 times driving a car around the world听
  • 744,376 EU households annual electricity (approximately the size of Latvia)听

The BlockDox solution includes a one-off mobilisation fee at project commencement followed by a licence fee for the data, analytics and insights. The mobilisation fee includes any hardware requirements, installation support, system calibration and account setup. Pricing is tiered according to the size of installed space, with a minimum contract term.听听

Overall energy savings are targeted at 15-20%, although this is highly building dependent.听听

Case Study

BlockDox was installed in an 871,000 square meter London office building. After combining a variety of data points, BlockDox identified an annual energy saving opportunity of 拢1,145,000 equivalent to a saving of 1,950 tons of CO2 each year. 叠濒辞肠办顿辞虫鈥檚 solution pointed to different findings, which helped听 determine suitable energy saving opportunities:听

  • 63% of energy consumption was used when occupancy was under 1.4% of capacity (~5 people per floor)
  • 51% of energy consumption came from lighting and power alone
  • 24% of the overall energy consumption occurred outside of working hours (7pm-5am)

In addition, additional savings from improved space utilisation of at least 拢183,057 were also discovered.听The client will recoup their investment in 6-12 months from energy savings alone.
