Institutional real estate is drowning in data but starved for actionable intelligence. Asset managers were working with too many numbers and too little clarity on how much thermal energy waste was happening across an asset, or whether it was getting better or worse. We built Utopi Rated™ to solve that: One rating per asset, calculated from granular, room-level data by our proprietary algorithms.
Utopi Rated™ is an operational efficiency rating, not a building fabric rating. It doesn’t look at insulation, glazing or the physical envelope. It looks at how well an asset is managing thermal energy waste day to day, which means the waste it flags is addressable through behaviour and controls, not capital works.
High thermal energy waste, low rating. Low thermal energy waste, high rating. Utopi Rated™ inverts that waste into a rating from 0 to 10.0 so it reads intuitively. A rising rating means an asset is getting better at avoiding thermal energy waste. A falling rating means waste is creeping back in.
Ratings are normalised per bed per day and benchmarked against industry averages, so a single building and a full portfolio can be compared like for like.
Every operational decision relates back to the one dynamic rating: A less stringent step-down, a raised target temperature on smart controls, a room exception added. All of it shows up in waste, and all of it moves the rating, which is what makes it a genuine performance measure rather than a static readout.
Utopi Rated™ shows you what is driving thermal energy waste on your asset, and where to act to reduce it.
Thermal energy waste falls into three clear buckets:
The four KPIs behind Utopi Rated™ aren’t separate ratings competing for attention. They roll up into the one rating. If Utopi Rated™ is the headline figure for the Asset Manager, the KPIs are the day-to-day detail for Central Ops, the levers that bring thermal energy waste down and push the rating up.
Overall temperature baseline across the asset. Lower (within comfort range) = better.
Volume of the asset running above a sensible comfort threshold. Fewer spaces over threshold = better.
Heating unoccupied spaces means energy waste. Fewer / shorter instances = better.
Unauthorised heating devices operating outside the managed system. Fewer detected = better.
Utopi Rated™ shows an asset manager exactly what is driving thermal energy waste and lets a team act on it manually. Pairing it with Utopi Smart Energy Controls closes that gap faster, avoiding more cost than manual action alone.
