The Challenge: Stagnant HVAC Scheduling & Underutilised Spaces
A renowned leader in smart building design and consultancy firm, grappled with:
The Solution: DIREK’s IoT Ecosystem & D-XPERT Smart Building Platform
The company partnered with DIREK Ltd to deploy smart sensors integrated with the D-XPERT Smart Building Platform, leveraging IoT-driven insights, AI analytics, and automated BMS controls. Key strategies included:
1. Real-Time Occupancy Tracking
2. Seamless BMS Integration
3. AI-Powered Recommendations
Hybrid work modelling to reallocate underused spaces.
Space planning guidance based on usage patterns and departmental demands.
Results That Redefine ROI
Year 1 Wins
As a leader in the UK construction sector, the company faced underutilised spaces, rising energy costs, and employee comfort concerns at their HQ. They sought a data-driven solution to align their workspace with hybrid work trends, sustainability goals, and operational excellence.
28% overall energy reduction a direct cut in wasted consumption.
59% drop in HVAC-related energy use
£25,974 in annual savings from optimised scheduling and reduced energy consumption
ROI in under 12 months rapid payback on sensor and platform investments.
Peak occupancy at 71% fuelling data-driven decisions for future layout changes.
Why DIREK’s Approach Stands Out ?
Non-Disruptive Integration
The system connects to the existing BMS infrastructure with minimal downtime and feeds real-time occupancy data to the HVAC system.
Built for Scale
Easily replicable across additional sites, by starting with part of the office, expanding to full coverage, then extending to other buildings.
ESG-Ready
Live data feeds streamline sustainability reporting and carbon compliance (BREEAM, LEED, TCFD, etc.)
Why This Matters for Your Business?
This success proves the power of real-time, data-driven building management . No matter your industry—engineering, property, or corporate—you can:
Eliminate energy waste through occupancy-driven HVAC and lighting
Optimise office layouts to support hybrid work trends
Boost ESG performance and future-proof compliance efforts
