Buildings use over a third of the world’s energy and drinking water. They emit over a quarter of its carbon dioxide.

Every year businesses lose hundreds of millions of dollars due to inefficiencies, old or faulty equipment and, in the end, wastage. These incredible statistics can be reduced.

The International Energy Agency estimates that the current global building stock is 223 billion square meters and will almost double to 415 billion square meters by 2050.

Smarter buildings can help in the fight against climate change , create jobs , improve energy security , and lower energy costs .

EP&T has been collecting and leveraging building data to enrich our propriety technology for 27 years.

EP&T’s technology is known as the EDGE Intelligent System

The amount of data we have collected over the years enriches the artificial intelligence we and we alone possess.

Historical data , real-time feeds from our sensors throughout a property, combined with the experience of our engineers and technical services, delivers extremely compelling results for building owners, operators and occupiers.

Driving performance across multiple verticals 6

From single properties to entire portfolios.

EP&T delivers proven/documented results – An average reduction of 22% on energy consumption across :

Commercial offices, shopping centres, hospitals, hotels and leisure facilities, schools and universities, and industrial….

And this isn’t just about turning the lights or aircon off at the right time. EDGE

can do so much more than that. For example:

It will notify us when equipment is due for maintenance, alert of leaks, faults and shutdowns, track a building’s NABERS rating monthly.

Technology and human expertise intersect when our teams collaborate with the client to take the appropriate action.

Case Study – Derwent London

Our partnership with Derwent London maps the energy efficiency of several of Derwent’s buildings through real-time analytics and data intelligence.

This continuous monitoring across their large multi-let buildings enables building management teams to optimise operational strategies and drive out inefficiencies.

Since installation we have:

  • Saved Derwent 20,701,000 kWh against their baseline.

  • Derwent’s total performance in 2019 alone provided savings of 4,520,000 kWh against baseline.
