Scenario.
Using the new outlier reporting tool in The Utopi Platform, our Customer Impact team were able to see a PBSA asset in Birmingham had an overheated space. Reaching heights of 32.2°C this space was unoccupied and causing a great deal of energy waste.
Resolution.
When site teams were informed, they went to investigate and found the heating wasn’t on. Instead, they found there was a faulty fridge that was heating the room. When turned off, the room dropped by 17°C in less than a week.
Being an electrically heated asset, this temperature saving equates to a 42.5kWh saving. Over a 200-day heating season, that would mean 8,500kWh of energy avoided.
Real World Context.
A Tesla Model 3: Uses about 0.25 kWh per mile.
- 8,500 kWh could power an EV for 34,000 miles of driving.
