10 Fleet Place
Overview
Mott MacDonald, the global engineering consultancy, wanted to improve energy visibility at its headquarters in Fleet Place, London, as part of its wider ESOS compliance and energy management objectives.
The brief was to introduce a practical monitoring solution that could work with the existing metering infrastructure, improve reporting, and provide better insight into energy use without major disruption to the building. Hills Energy Management Solutions delivered a modern, scalable energy monitoring system that met the immediate compliance requirement while also creating a strong foundation for wider rollout across the client’s property portfolio.
Client requirement
The client needed an energy monitoring solution that would provide:
- improved visibility of energy consumption
- support for ESOS reporting and compliance
- automated data collection and cloud-based reporting
- minimal disruption to a busy occupied office
- a scalable platform that could be rolled out across other sites in future
The priority was to deliver something practical and quick to implement, while also creating longer-term value through better data and easier reporting.
The challenge
The project had to be delivered within a live office environment and within the client’s compliance timescales.
The solution needed to integrate with existing energy meters without requiring major changes to infrastructure, and it had to be installed quickly with minimal interruption to day-to-day operations. At the same time, the client wanted more than just a compliance tool. The system needed to provide useful operational insight and a platform that could be expanded across a wider national portfolio.
What we delivered
We implemented a modern energy monitoring solution using the Wattsense Tower and LoRaWAN Adeunis Pulse Sensors.
The system was designed to work with the client’s existing metering infrastructure, allowing real-time energy tracking and automated cloud-based logging without the need for intrusive alterations to existing equipment. The installation was completed in a single day, ensuring minimal disruption to the occupied office environment.
The chosen platform provided a straightforward and scalable approach, giving the client immediate access to automated reporting and energy data while also supporting future expansion to other properties.
System functionality
The installed solution now provides:
- integration with existing energy meters
- real-time visibility of energy consumption
- automated cloud-based data logging
- improved support for ESOS reporting
- easier access to energy trends and usage patterns
- a scalable platform for future portfolio-wide rollout
The modular design means additional sites can be added over time using a consistent approach to monitoring and reporting.
The outcome
The completed project gave Mott MacDonald a practical and future-ready energy monitoring platform that met both immediate and longer-term objectives.
The system supports ESOS compliance through more accurate and automated reporting, while also giving the client better visibility of how energy is being used across the site. This has made it easier to identify inefficiencies, review consumption patterns and support more informed decision-making around energy performance.
Automated data collection has reduced the need for manual intervention, helping streamline reporting processes and save time. The improved visibility has also supported better forecasting of energy spend, providing value from both an operational and financial point of view.
Just as importantly, the system has established a scalable approach that can now be extended across the wider estate, supporting a more consistent and centralised energy management strategy.
