S1 Ep4: Future technology - is this the death of the Energy Manager or the renaissance?

From Industry 4.0 and the adoption of big data, to blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT), technology is driving the future of the UK energy market. But with pervasive computing opening a new world of opportunity, will technology become an Energy Manager’s dedicated sidekick, or will it be the death of the role as we know it?

 

Technology has the power to cut energy use by up to 17%. Over time, it becomes more accurate and efficient because it learns from experience. The more sensors you install, the more information there is to learn from.

 

So, if something so simple – and already available on the market – has such a disruptive influence, what does the future of the industry look like? In this podcast, we discuss how technology has the potential to revolutionise energy management. Using best practice examples, insight and anecdotes from some of the industry’s most innovative businesses, we highlight how technology can help you to optimise your business energy use today, and what’s coming around the corner.
