ClevAir helps reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions from commercial properties and large buildings by optimizing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. They have installations in several countries across Europe.
By combining IoT devices, SaaS-based software tools, and algorithms, their solution help companies reduce energy consumption by at least 20 percent. ClevAir provides their customers with insights, dashboards, and data for reporting in accordance with the EU taxonomy.
Note: We have changed our name since the video was recorded. When SmartEO is mentioned, this is what’s now called Å Insite.
Direct impact on clients' bottom line
ClevAir operates with a simple yet powerful philosophy: the most environmentally friendly energy is the one you dont use. By striving to save energy, they simultaneously contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
Rikke Werge Nilsen, CMO at ClevAir, highlights their focus on achieving a dual impact of sustainability and cost savings for their customers.
- Many of our customers experience a reduction in consumption of up to 30 percent. That is a significant amount, and for a 10,000 square meter building, it means a lot of money saved for our customers. This has a direct effect on their bottom line, Werge Nilsen points out.
Real-Time Energy Data from Å Insite
- The energy data Å Insite delivers allows us to display energy use and savings in our dashboards. For the UK market, this is almost like a space mission, says CEO at ClevAir, Bjørn Gabrielsen.
He underlines that in some markets, meter reading remains a manual process. Receiving continuous, accurate energy data directly into an API is a whole new world for building operators.
- For us at ClevAir, Å Insite represents a simple and reliable delivery of real-time energy data. What sets them apart from the competitors are the algorithms that ensure the data stream we receive is accurate, Gabrielsen explains.
He is particularly pleased with the algorithms that make it possible to calculate consumption even if there have been gaps in the data stream along the way.
Comprehensive coverage of energy carriers
For ClevAir, it has also been crucial that Å Insite can be used for more than just electricity. In their international market, measurement and energy data for gas and thermal energy are equally important.
- If you want to operate outside of Norway, you need to be able to measure more than just electricity as an energy source. We can use Å Insite for customers both in Norway and abroad because Å Insite covers all energy carriers. We get a quality-assured data stream that contains no errors. And if gaps occur, the algorithms fill in the rest, concludes Gabrielsen.
