Buildings. Behave. Better.
Visualise. Optimise. Flex.
Three steps, total clarity.
Built on Proof. Backed by the Best.
Most building management systems give you data.
Most building management systems give you data. GridEdge gives you answers. Our three-step platform is designed to meet your buildings where they are, whether you’re starting with no visibility, drowning in data you can’t action, or ready to unlock the commercial value of a well-optimised estate. Every step builds on the last. And you stay in control, always.
The value we bring – 3 steps
Visualise has two distinct layers, and you get the first one free within 24 hours. To start, GridEdge ingests up to 14 months of your historical electricity data and delivers a full portfolio-level assessment: your worst-performing buildings identified, out-of-hours waste quantified, and a data-backed savings target established. No hardware, no commitment, no waiting. You get real answers from your own data before we’ve asked you to spend a penny. The second layer is live building data: once connected to your BMS, meters, and sensors, GridEdge surfaces real-time energy flows, system anomalies, and occupancy patterns across your full estate, spotting the 3am heating that nobody switched off and the AHU fighting itself as it happens. Two layers of visibility, building on each other, so you always know exactly what your buildings are doing and what to do next.
Once connected, digitally via cloud or with lightweight hardware and live within a week, GridEdge links directly to your BMS, meters, sensors, and IoT devices. Our Automated Tagging Engine maps 80% of BMS points automatically, and from there your buildings start telling your team what to fix, ranked by savings impact. Expert energy coaches sit behind every recommendation, guiding your team in plain language rather than leaving them to interpret dashboards alone. The result is an average energy reduction of 20%+, with ROI typically under 90 days. You decide what to action and when, with one click to log a job or make the fix yourself. Answers, not analytics.
Flex is where your buildings stop reacting to the energy market and start working with it. The only UK platform with building-to-grid connectivity, GridEdge Flex optimises energy usage around time-of-use tariffs, reacts in real time to the carbon intensity of the National Grid, and positions your assets for demand response and dynamic tariff programmes. The outcome is a measurable net zero pathway that carries a genuine commercial payback, reducing both carbon exposure and energy price risk simultaneously. For organisations that want additional support at this stage, GridEdge also offers a managed service layer where our expert team handles the operational complexity of Flex on your behalf, so you capture the full value of grid flexibility without adding to your team’s workload.
Smart Buildings (Analytics, Building Optimisation / Smart Controls)
GridEdge was born out of Aston University and backed by industry leaders including BP and Centrica. That heritage isn’t just a credential — it’s the reason our platform is built on real engineering science rather than dashboard software dressed up as insight. And our results reflect it. Our customers have never seen a reduction of less than 15%. Not a target. Not an average. A floor. With expected savings of 15 to 40%+ depending on your estate, GridEdge doesn’t deal in projections — it deals in performance you can bank on.
Most energy platforms front-load their story. A strong year one, then diminishing returns as the obvious wins are exhausted. GridEdge is built differently. Our customers see sustained savings year after year — significant reductions in year one, followed by continued gains in years two and three as our team keeps uncovering inefficiencies that have developed in the meantime. Buildings change. Occupancy shifts. Equipment degrades. Seasons move. Our team moves with them. You’re not buying a one-time fix — you’re investing in a partner that keeps finding you money.
GridEdge is built on consented automation. We believe in empowering your workforce, not replacing it. Our platform gives your team clear, prioritised, plain-language recommendations ranked by financial impact — but nothing happens without your say-so. We do not take automated control of your buildings without your explicit consent. Our Automated Tagging Engine maps 80% of BMS points automatically and expert energy coaches sit behind every recommendation, so your team gets answers not analytics, and acts with confidence rather than guesswork. You stay in control. Always.
The first step costs nothing. Share your MPANs and within 24 hours GridEdge delivers a full portfolio-level energy assessment — worst performers identified, out-of-hours waste quantified, savings target established. No hardware. No contract. No commitment. From there, our commercial model is built around shared risk: your financial exposure never exceeds the cost of a single site, and we offer a 12-month break clause if agreed ROI targets aren’t met. We only grow with you when the numbers are proven. That’s not a sales pitch — it’s how we’re structured.
Every other platform stops at the building boundary. GridEdge crosses it. Our building-to-grid connectivity means your assets automatically optimise around time-of-use tariffs, react in real time to the carbon intensity of the National Grid, and are positioned for future demand side response programmes before your competitors have even heard of them. We also help you de-risk future investments by modelling the viability of technologies like heat pumps against dynamic tariffs before you commit. As the UK energy market evolves, GridEdge ensures your buildings evolve with it — reducing carbon and price exposure simultaneously. No other UK platform offers this.
GridEdge optimises for three outcomes simultaneously: occupant comfort, energy cost reduction, and measurable carbon savings. Fewer complaints. Lower bills. Audit-ready ESG reporting. And crucially, every improvement is tracked, logged, and reported — through live dashboards, monthly progress reports, and formal quarterly portfolio reviews. You don’t walk into client or board reviews with estimates. You walk in with verified savings, real carbon numbers, and evidence that your buildings are genuinely behaving better. In a market full of promises, proof is the differentiator.
