Watt Footprint is an innovative energy-management platform that offers a comprehensive solution to help businesses reduce their energy consumption, costs, and carbon emissions. By combining cutting-edge software, hardware, and expert support, the platform provides real-time insights into energy usage, costs, carbon intensity, and performance metrics compared to set targets.

The system utilizes data from on-site meters and bills to create detailed energy dashboards that highlight anomalies, baseload issues, and peak demand periods. Automated reporting and alerts keep teams informed, while a remote 'Watt Watchers' team offers practical recommendations with quantified return on investment (ROI). In addition to these features, Watt Footprint also offers energy audits, project management for upgrades (such as lighting, heating, refrigeration, controls, and solar installations), and guidance on securing grants and incentives.

The platform guides businesses through a structured pathway of energy management, starting from establishing a baseline, achieving quick wins, implementing deeper retrofits, and continuously optimizing energy usage. Industries such as hotels, retailers, and commercial sites benefit from Watt Footprint by reducing kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption, improving operational comfort, and cutting Scope 2 emissions without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Case studies provided by the company demonstrate significant annual savings in both energy usage and monetary costs, with typical payback periods of under five years depending on the implemented measures. By offering a comprehensive solution, Watt Footprint eliminates the need for in-house energy specialists, providing clients with the necessary tools, expertise, and processes to sustain long-term results.
