Collecting utility data to promote user engagement
Problem Addressed
While there are many strategies for reducing the operational carbon of buildings, many of these are only maximally effective when there is robust engagement by the building’s users. Utility consumption in particular can be effectively reduced when those living and working within a building are well informed about specific sustainability objectives and actionable methods for achieving them.
Case Study
One of the largest office buildings in Lisbon, MB4 began using hello energy’s software, data collection, and touch screens to promote participation and reduce energy consumption by their tenants. MB4 was also able to use hello energy to report on ESG metrics more easily. To encourage sustainable choices, touch screens in the lobby highlight these sustainability metrics as wells as weather updates and public transport options. Since implementing hello energy’s array of services, MB4 has earned credits towards BREEAM-in-use and WELL certifications while achieving an 3.5% reduction in their energy costs.
