How Smart Energy Monitoring Helped Reduce Energy Consumption by 14%
April 2026
Delivering measurable results
Working with one student accommodation provider, the cThings platform delivered measurable improvements across their portfolio, including:
- 14% reduction in energy consumption
- Real-time visibility across multiple sites
- Improved ESG reporting and compliance
- Greater transparency for residents through actionable insights
By bringing metering, monitoring and analytics together in a single platform, the provider gained a clearer understanding of building performance and identified opportunities to reduce energy waste while improving the resident experience.
A smarter approach to student accommodation
Many PBSA operators continue to rely on fragmented systems and delayed utility data, making it difficult to identify inefficiencies or demonstrate sustainability performance.
With real-time monitoring and centralised analytics, building operators can make faster, data-driven decisions that reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and support long-term sustainability goals.
