Choose Efficiency
Stop Paying the Price for a Broken System of Commercial Building Energy Control
Why smart buildings are still stupid (until you fix this)
Most buildings claim to be smart, but outdated tools and hidden waste are costing energy, money, and carbon. Dan Williams explains how to rethink energy management for real control.
Energy management systems in UK commercial buildings are broken.
Outdated BMS, misleading baselines, and lack of appliance-level control are blocking the action we urgently need.
This failure goes beyond inefficiency. It’s fueling an invisible crisis.
When building systems can’t see or control what’s actually using power, waste becomes routine.
Electricity is wasted at scale: printers idling overnight, heaters warming empty rooms, lights left on for no one.
You’re losing energy, money and carbon savings without even knowing it.
This isn’t just waste. It's a silent risk.

We Call It the Silent Drain. You Can’t See It. But You Can Stop It.
Wasted plug power is just one symptom of a deeper issue—a broken culture of building energy control that hasn’t kept up with how we actually use our spaces.
At measurable.energy, we believe in transparency, accountability, and taking back control at the source.
Together with our industry peers and partners who share our urgency for change, we created The Building Energy Control Manifesto: A clear call to action for sustainability leads, asset managers and facilities teams who are done waiting for outdated systems to catch up.
