Plug Power: The Hidden Drain You Can’t Afford to Ignore
Most buildings are blind to nearly half of their electricity use.
That invisible portion? Plug load energy from appliances quietly consuming power all day — and all night. Traditional building systems can’t control it. They don’t even see it.
Our platform combines AI-powered sockets with real-time appliance-level monitoring and automated controls — giving you visibility, intelligence and optimisation from a single system.
What Is Plug Power — And Why It Matters
Plug power is the electricity used by everything connected to sockets or fused spurs in your building. Heaters. Screens. Fridges. Chargers. Temporary equipment. Individually, they seem insignificant.
Collectively, they account for 40% of a commercial building’s electricity use. In construction environments — such as modular buildings — that figure rises to 90%. And half of that is wasted through being left on when not needed.
At this scale, plug load waste becomes a material cost and carbon issue.
How the Energy Optimisation
System Works
measurable.energy is a plug load management system designed to automate and optimise savings in the most overlooked part of your building’s energy system.
Connected Outcomes from
the Same System
Operating at appliance level means the platform delivers measurable outcomes beyond energy from the same system.
Safety & Risk Reduction
Continuous appliance-level monitoring enables early detection of:
- Electrical overload risks
- Unsafe heater usage
- Fault patterns
- Out-of-hours activity
This reduces fire risk, lowers callouts and improves compliance visibility.
Occupancy & Space Insight
Understand how spaces are actually used based on real appliance activity to:
- Identify underused zones
- Optimise cleaning and servicing schedules
- Support hybrid working strategies with real behavioural data
Why pay for unused energy?
Stop plug load waste at the source - the socket.
