Optimise the energy consumption and the capacity utilisation of your commercial property
Plugwise gives you control over the energy consumption and climate control of your office spaces. In this way, you can reduce costs for each workspace, you realise significant savings on energy and you achieve the maximum return on your property.
Did you know that office buildings use 40% of their energy outside of office hours? And not all of this is caused by the cleaning crew. During working hours, as well, an average of 30% of the energy is not used efficiently, for example, due to lights being left on in areas where no one is present or due to climate control keeping empty rooms at the perfect temperature. The Plugwise platform measures energy consumption on device level and provides detailed information on the capacity utilisation of equipment and the climate of individual office spaces.
It is worthwhile to reverse this wasting of energy. Plugwise helps you do that.
Plugwise makes offices more efficient
Plugwise is the new, smart infrastructure for commercial property. Plugwise gives immediate insight into the energy consumption, climate control and capacity utilisation of devices and office spaces. This enables you to make smart choices that offer maximum energy savings.
Plugwise brings energy savings within reach by combining energy measurement on device level and wireless switching. Using Plugwise, facility managers can realise meaningful savings, without getting in the way of their end users.
How it works
Plugwise consists of a wireless system of intelligent sensors that also serve as smart switches. After a quick and smooth installation, they start to work immediately. In just a short time, the Plugwise platform then offers an extensive overview of the energy consumption in your building on device level, temperature and air humidity and capacity utilisation.

The Plugwise platform – measuring and switching
The Plugwise platform forms the new, sustainable infrastructure behind your devices, lighting and air conditioners. The Plugwise nodes work together automatically to give you all the information you need to conserve energy in an intelligent manner. Using Plugwise, you can also classify devices and lighting into flexible ‘energy groups’ and operate these groups with a wireless light switch.
- No cables to lay no work disruptions
- Direct insight into energy consumption, climate and utilisation of rooms
- Smart switching of equipment and thermostats
Plugwise and The New Way of Working
The New Way of Working influences the accommodations of organisations. Plugwise gives you the information that you need to optimally facilitate The New Way of Working. With real-time insight into the utilisation of office spaces, you can realise optimum energy savings by attuning climate control to the actual use. Moreover, the wireless Plugwise platform enables the flexible arrangement of floor area thanks to wireless light switches.
Saving energy is only the start. Plugwise offers you management information on the capacity utilisation of your office spaces and equipment, so that you can make optimum use of your property. This helps avoid unnecessary investments in office space and equipment.
Plugwise is sustainable and future-proof
However your organisation changes in the future, Plugwise will keep up with the times. The platform forms the infrastructure that is required for the rollout of the ‘smart grid’ behind the energy meter, including possibilities to generate your own energy and to employ this energy in a useful way. In addition, the implementation of a Plugwise network improves the energy performance of a building considerably, as a result of which commercial property remains attractive longer.
