Cloud and Artificial Intelligence: The New Drivers of Energy Performance in Commercial Buildings
1. Energy Management Enters a New Era
Until recently, energy management relied on one-off audits, manual meter readings, and Excel spreadsheets — tools that are difficult to scale.
Today, cloud-based solutions like the Savee platform developed by Advizeo allow users to:
- Centralize consumption data (HVAC, lighting, ventilation, sub-metering, etc.),
- Visualize it in real time at the building or portfolio level,
- Cross-analyze it with contextual data (occupancy, weather, usage patterns, calendar…).
The result: continuous control that is more responsive, more reliable, and aligned with Net Zero goals.
2. Artificial Intelligence as a Performance Accelerator
When applied to energy management, AI automates complex tasks and uncovers optimization opportunities that would otherwise go unnoticed:
- Detecting consumption anomalies (deviations, overuse relative to expected behavior),
- Generating optimization scenarios (dynamic control, early shutdowns, adaptation to occupancy peaks),
- Predicting energy demand based on historical data and external factors.
3. Immediate Benefits for Real Estate Managers
Cloud and AI solutions help commercial real estate stakeholders address several key challenges:
- Reducing energy costs by acting on the most sensitive areas of use,
- Tracking ESG KPIs across entire portfolios (EPC, CO₂ emissions, consumption per m², etc.),
- Ensuring compliance with Part L, MEES, and SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting),
- Improving coordination between technical teams, real estate leadership, and financial partners.
These tools also offer a high level of transparency for investors, tenants, and regulatory bodies.
4. Toward Predictive and Autonomous Building Management
The goal is no longer just to monitor or benchmark, but to predict, correct, and optimize automatically. The most advanced technologies now enable this by:
- Identifying underperforming equipment or risks of drift in advance,
- Proposing real-time adjustments (e.g., adapting temperature based on weather or occupancy),
- Integrating learning loops to continuously improve system behavior.
Buildings are becoming intelligent — by design and by operation.
Real Opportunities for the UK Market
Investing in cloud and AI solutions for energy management is not just a technological upgrade — it’s a genuine lever for economic and regulatory performance.
- Easier compliance with EPC B, MEES, or Part L — with no added administrative burden.
- Access to sustainable financing through green bonds or performance-linked loans.
- Green value creation through advanced control, increased asset value, and anticipation of market shifts.
