Our team of sustainability professionals across Carbon Architecture, and Green Mark, are experienced at supporting SMEs, major suppliers and NHS Trusts with the complexities of PPN 06/21 legislation.
InMetriks Analytics 
Cut your carbon footprint and reduce energy consumption by up to 20%
Carbon Architecture’s InMetriks Analytics is a critical layer to existing building management systems, acting as a proven platform for the real-time analysis of building and utility system data from complex estates.
Our fully serviced technology realises significant energy and carbon savings, minimises the failure of critical assets, and tracks and verifies the ongoing performance of LZC solutions. Our package also means that organisations improve the risk profile of their assets, while making their buildings better places to be.
The system supports the delivery of long-term NetZero strategies across a broad range of complex estates in the public and private sectors, including combined authorities, the NHS and hospitality.
InMetriks Analytics root causes sub-optimal performance & prioritises corrective action in real-time, adding a critical layer to existing building management systems. The service is playing a central part in establishing long-term sustainability plans; baselining, optimising and maintaining performance targets.
Benchmarked against international standards
Developed in-line with the International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol (IPMVP), InMetriks Analytics is a proven Monitoring & Verification service. This comes as a serviced package to help complex, energy intensive organisations optimise asset performance & increase user comfort, whilst providing independent proof of meeting energy, carbon and wellbeing related standards.
Full data transparency
The system reviews the data harvested from existing BMS systems, smart energy meters and IoT in real-time, which gives clients full access to condition based performance trends across their buildings and utility systems. Clients can analyse and report on data insight via custom energy, carbon and fault diagnostics dashboards.
Prioritised actions
We provide a critical alarm management service, prioritised by cost, carbon and risk. Workflows are designed in-line with service level agreements, and our ticketing system integrates via API to CAFM systems. The immediate escalation of performance issues to dedicated client side engineering teams or contractors, enables the efficient closure of works tickets, allowing clients to effectively tackle maintenance backlogs.
50% Human, 50% Technology
Although data collection and analysis is fully automated, our dedicated technical support service is delivered by an experienced in-house engineering team, with advanced skills in BMS and controls design, and energy efficiency in buildings, including metering, baselining and project management. This helps us deliver a powerful package of cutting-edge technology and know-how.
A foundation for continuous improvement
-
Verify asset performance The independent verification of carbon savings in-line with recognised standards is becoming a key variable in capital projects planning, and helps secure external funding
-
Save energy and reduce Total Cost of Ownership The real-time monitoring of building and utility system performance can help organisations deliver energy savings of up to 20%, while reducing operational risk
-
Create more efficient, healthier spaces Improve the wellbeing of occupants by having better control of your estates. Improved efficiency reduces the health risk associated with poorly performing buildings
-
Enable preventive maintenance Real-time fault diagnostics identify drops in performance, enabling corrective and preventive action, and effective utilisation of limited maintenance resource
-
Future-proof estates management The system is device agnostic and can extract value from new data sources to bring fresh insight and enable continuous improvement
Delivering multiple levels of service
At the heart of InMetriks Analytics is an advanced, cloud-based big data solution, delivering a smart energy management & analytics service as standard.
The package also enables a number of other layers of service, including:
-
Remote fault resolution
We do the heavy lifting for you and your teams by resolving simple controls-based faults remotely. This can dramatically reduce the costs associated with call-outs to deal with relatively simple controls issues -
BMS optimisation strategy
Supports longer term management and investment strategy, by providing in-depth, scheduled deep dives into the BMS controls strategy, with a strong focus on enabling strategic optimisation projects -
Estate-wide carbon reduction strategy
Our service helps complex organisations take better-informed decisions over where and how to invest in energy and carbon reduction projects
