Algeco Smart tech cuts energy usage by up to 30%

Algeco site accommodation and temporary buildings for hire are now available with a package of smart technologies that deliver energy savings of up to a third.

We offer two new solutions;

1. Smart Energy Control+

Provides central control of HVAC and is responsive to environmental conditions and occupancy levels. Indicative energy savings in Algeco cabins and temporary buildings for hire is 20-30%.

2. Smart Sockets

These replace standard double sockets and work together with Smart Energy Control+ or separately. When used separately, they achieve indicative energy reductions of 10-20%.

They automatically turn off desk and other sockets out of hours to reduce ‘small power’ wastage. In addition, AI detects wastage and raises alerts, or can even automatically switch off sockets if required.   

Local override at each socket level ensures when power is available when required. They are suitable for larger sites, typically with large number of office workstations. 

Both Smart technologies are available as an option when customers specify our ‘360 Service’.  

Introduction of Smart technology takes conventional energy saving features such as LED lighting, PIR sensors and door closers to another level, unlocking massive energy savings and providing new insights into utilisation and wellbeing for our customers. It does this by using three impressive features: Measurement, Control and Reaction. 

Chris Coxon at Algeco said:

“Buildings consume approximately one-third of the world’s energy, primarily through heating, lighting and ventilation. Our Smart technologies make a giant leap in tackling some of this wasted energy, in a way that simply wouldn’t be possible with traditional HVAC settings. 

When customers choose Smart Technology via Algeco’s 360 Service, they receive high quality, temporary spaces that are super reactive to their environment. That means temperature, humidity and occupancy monitoring are all finely tuned to save energy whilst maintaining the comfort and wellbeing of occupants. Advanced diagnostics enable customers to easily see the effect this has on their bottom line through reduced energy bills.”

Algeco Smart technology is integrated with Bluetooth mesh technology and standalone connectivity. Sensors, switches and other hardware then work together locally to reduce wastage. Cloud functionality provides a portal for control and bay by bay monitoring.
