About Grid Edge

Grid Edge provides a comprehensive AI-powered energy management platform designed to help commercial building operators transition to net zero. The software simplifies complex energy data by connecting directly to building management systems (BMS) and IoT sensors through a secure data gateway. By applying advanced learning algorithms to historical and real-time data, the platform identifies specific opportunities to reduce consumption, lower costs, and minimize carbon footprints without compromising occupant comfort or operational efficiency. The tool operates through a tiered approach, beginning with building-level insights derived from energy meters and scaling up to deep asset-level analysis and automated demand flexibility. Key features include the Edge2X system, which offers automated monitoring, alerting, and an event tracker to visualize the impact of operational changes. It also addresses the volatility of modern energy markets by helping users shift energy demand to lower-cost and lower-carbon periods of the day, effectively future-proofing buildings against variable pricing and peak-time network charges. This platform is specifically designed for energy managers, estate directors, and CFOs in sectors such as higher education, commercial real estate, and public local government. It bridges the gap between raw data and actionable strategy, allowing decision-makers to focus on execution rather than manual data analysis. With typical return on investment achieved in less than six months and an average carbon reduction of over 20%, Grid Edge stands out by offering both high-level portfolio oversight and granular asset control. What differentiates Grid Edge from traditional energy monitoring tools is its focus on "actions over insights." While many platforms merely report consumption, Grid Edge uses AI to predict future challenges—such as half-hourly billing and regional Scope 2 emission variations—and provides proactive recommendations. The solution is delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, ensuring transparent monthly costs while maintaining high security standards through its ISO27001 certification.

Grid Edge FAQs

How does Grid Edge connect to existing building hardware?

The system uses a secure Data Gateway to create a connection between your existing Building Management System (BMS) and the Grid Edge Cloud. Hardware installation is typically completed in a single site visit with remote commissioning.

What kind of energy savings can I expect?

Users typically see an average carbon reduction of over 20%. Many customers report a return on investment (ROI) in less than six months through optimized consumption and reduced peak-time usage.

Is my building's data secure on the platform?

Yes, Grid Edge operates to the highest information security standards and is certified to the ISO27001 Standard. This ensures that sensitive operational and energy data is handled with professional-grade security.

Can the software help with variable electricity pricing?

Yes, the platform is designed to manage behind-the-meter flexibility. It helps operators shift energy demand to the lowest carbon and lowest cost times of day to mitigate the impact of half-hourly billing.
