Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust is taking a significant step forward in its operational sustainability journey by partnering with ecoDriver to deploy advanced energy data management across its Green Lane and Long Fox sites.
As organisations across both the public and commercial sectors face increasing pressure to lower carbon emissions, reduce utility overheads, and validate energy investments, clear data visibility has become essential. This new partnership focuses on establishing a robust energy monitoring foundation that translates complex consumption patterns into clear, actionable insights.
Laying the Groundwork: CIBSE TM39 Meter Strategy & Design
Before any physical hardware is installed, ecoDriver’s technical team will conduct comprehensive Meter Strategy & Design surveys across both NHS sites. Performed in strict accordance with CIBSE TM39 guidance, these initial site audits ensure every sub-meter is placed strategically to deliver maximum data value.
By combining existing fiscal meter data from Half-Hourly Data Collectors (DC/MOP) with targeted electrical sub-metering—including an estimated 5 to 6 sub-meters at Green Lane and 2 to 3 at Long Fox—the trust will gain a unified, granular view of its gas and electricity profile within a single, central platform.
From Data Points to Real-World Impact
For large-scale, multi-building estates—whether healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, or commercial property —uncovering energy waste often comes down to granular visibility. The deployment of ecoDriver’s central platform will help local teams identify the true baseline, flag out-of-hours consumption, identify any conflicts such as heating vs cooling, and remove energy waste before it accumulates into unnecessary operational expenditure.
Beyond immediate waste reduction, the system provides two key strategic advantages:
- Measuring Intervention Success: Having secured decarbonisation funding for site improvements, the trust will use ecoDriver to benchmark pre-intervention consumption and accurately measure the post-installation performance of new clean technologies.
- Data-Backed Capital Planning: Detailed breakdown of where and when energy is consumed across a site provides the quantitative evidence required for future business cases, ensuring future capital expenditure is targeted where it delivers the highest return per pound invested.
Unlocking Portfolio-Wide Energy Control
Whether managing public sector facilities or commercial estate portfolios, gaining precise control over utility data is the cornerstone of effective carbon management and cost control. By replacing manual tracking and high-level bill estimates with continuous, sub-metered performance monitoring, organisations can ensure their sustainability initiatives deliver measurable, long-term results.
