Optimising Office Energy Usage
Our client wanted to understand how they could reduce carbon emissions and energy costs, making the operation of their buildings more sustainable.
EcoTrack ESG monitored a number of factors to understand the energy consumption of the building. We found the building was consistently being heated above recommended levels, outside of occupied hours. In addition to this, inefficient lighting schedules were also causing excess cost and energy consumption.
Our findings allowed the client to make savings of 60% on heating alone, in addition to improving the efficiency of their lighting schedules.

School Indoor Enviroment
EcoTrack ESG worked with a secondary school to understand the performance differential between old and new buildings within the school. We immediately saw large differences in the spaces, and worked with the school to help them understand the impact the indoor environment was having on their learning outcomes and viral transmission risk.
As a result, the school altered it’s scheduling to ensure that all classrooms were healthy and optimised for teaching before each lesson. In addition to this, we helped the school build an evidence base of why condition improvement funding was required, and the specific problems the condition improvements should address.
“The data provided highlighted how making simple changes to scheduling in rooms can improve our indoor environment.”

UTI Detection in a Care Home
Concerned about a resident’s nutritional intake and hydration, a device was installed to see if it could shed light on the weight loss of a patient.
The results showed that the resident was using the kitchen, but inconsistently, and care calls were set up around lunchtime to reinforce the importance of nutrition and hydration.
However, roughly a week into the solution being used, the number of bathroom visits increased significantly, both during the day and night. The care team suspected a UTI and a subsequent test proved positive, meaning the UTI was caught at an early stage before it worsened and a hospital visit was prevented.
“EcoTrack ESG helped us to quickly see where energy was inefficiently managed and gave us direct steps to make immediate improvements, driving great savings.”

UTI Detection in a Care Home
After becoming concerned about a resident’s eating habits and nutritional intake, their carer installed devices into a resident’s apartment.
The resident claimed to be regularly making breakfast and lunch, but the solution often showed no movement, light or sound in the kitchen at all on some mornings. The carer
felt that the resident may have been confusing today with previous days or occasions when they had prepared food, and was not intentionally misleading care staff. Equipped with the data of whether the resident had eaten or not, the care team was able to quickly resolve the issue by preparing the resident a meal on the mornings where no previous movement had been observed in the kitchen, reassuring the resident that they had not yet eaten that day. The second care call of the day then ensured the resident had eaten the food prepared for them.
“EcoTrack ESG provides me with crucial insight into residents that I would simply not be able to collect in any other way.”
