The Energy Intelligence Network
Enhanced energy management, powered by real-world intelligence.
Independent. Low-cost and low-effort to join. Built to pay for itself from the first intelligence cycle.
Illustrative — the more organisations join, the more valuable the intelligence for everyone.
Every pound spent on energy is a pound not spent on your mission — and every tonne wasted is a tonne not cut from net zero.
The Energy Intelligence Network turns your energy, cost and carbon data into decisions you can act on. Independent. Evidence-based. Built to cut cost and carbon together, not as competing priorities.
- ✓ Less energy consumed
- ✓ Less money spent
- ✓ Faster progress to net zero
The wisdom of the crowd… from one trusted source
What it delivers
We provide the intelligence and insights needed to help answer the critical questions:
A comparative, system-wide view of your estate’s energy performance.
- 1Which parts of the estate perform best, and which worst — across sites, buildings, teams or time?
- 2Is the variation legitimate, or a genuine gap in how well our energy and buildings are managed?
- 3Where should the next pound of effort or investment go?
- 4Are we improving against our own baseline, year on year?
- 5What's working — and can we replicate it elsewhere in the estate?
- 6Are we even measuring ourselves consistently across the organisation?
- 7Is budget and attention going where the data says the opportunity actually is?
The essential context for those internal numbers. Converting them into a judgement: are we competitive, average, or are we lagging behind?
- 1Where do we stand against others operating under broadly similar conditions?
- 2What does “good” actually look like in practice, not in theory?
- 3Is the gap real, or is it context that needs normalising out first?
- 4Who should we actually be compared to, so the comparison means something?
- 5What's a credible ambition — not a hopeful one — based on what's been achieved elsewhere?
- 6Are we closing the gap on the sector, or falling behind?
- 7What are the leaders doing differently, that we could adopt?
A continuous annual intelligence cycle
Every cycle converts raw member data into sector intelligence, and that intelligence back into better decisions — compounding in value with every year and every member. Select a stage, or let it play.

Data in
Members submit standardised energy, cost, carbon and estates data using common templates, validated on receipt.
One dataset. Four seats at the table.
Everyone draws on the same validated data — but each role sees the view that matters to them. Select a role.
“Are we running the estate well — and can I prove it?”
What the Network gives themBuilding- and equipment-level benchmarking against genuine peers, and the evidence to win the case for investment.
“Is our energy spend competitive, and where's the waste?”
What the Network gives themSpend tracked against budget and peers, with price separated from consumption; verified savings, not supplier estimates.
“Are we on track for net zero, and can I defend the numbers?”
What the Network gives themAudit-ready Scope 1 & 2 reporting and a clear trajectory against target.
“Where exactly is energy being wasted, and what should I fix first?”
What the Network gives themGranular, validated, building-by-building benchmarking that pinpoints priority actions.
Our intelligence catalogue
A phased set of products, built on the same validated dataset, so value starts on day one and compounds from there. Select a product.
Data Foundation
The essential first step. Standardised templates and validation processes to ensure we accumulate a clean, trusted dataset — your data will be scored for quality and completeness. Everything the Network delivers is built on this foundation.
What the intelligence actually looks like
Six illustrative examples of the outputs behind the catalogue above — anonymised, for representation only. Real outputs are generated from validated member data once the Network is live.
Consumption & cost lens
Energy cost intensity vs sector peers
Illustrative example — anonymised, not real member data
Mock-up only. Shows the format of the Annual Benchmark Report — not real data.
Consumption lens
Estate breakdown by property type
Illustrative example — anonymised, not real member data
Mock-up only. Each property type is benchmarked against its own peer range, not a single estate-wide average.
Consumption lens
Offices: building-level energy intensity vs benchmark
Illustrative example — 15-building office portfolio, ranked low to high
Mock-up only. The benchmark bar sits at its natural rank among the sorted buildings, not off to the side.
Carbon lens
Net Zero Transition Index
Illustrative example — anonymised, not real member data
Mock-up only. Uses the same 100-to-0 indexation as the Network's Net Zero Transition Index.
Cost lens
Energy spend variance: price vs consumption effect
Illustrative example — anonymised, not real member data
Mock-up only. Illustrates how price and consumption effects are reported separately, so only the controllable portion drives action.
Data foundation
Data quality & completeness scorecard
Illustrative example — anonymised, not real member data
Mock-up only. Shows the format of the Data Quality Score & RAG Rating — not a real assessment.
The rules that govern every deployment
A network like this needs a genuinely independent centre
Pooling sensitive data from organisations that may compete requires a party with no commercial stake in the outcome. That's EEVS.
No ties to any supplier or technology
No interest in what members buy — only in the quality of the intelligence. That's what makes the results credible.
One standardised, confidential dataset
Held securely; benchmarks and insights are always shared anonymously. Confidentiality is what makes the sharing possible.
A vantage point no single member has
EEVS sees where the strongest results sit and what the leaders do differently — then shares that back to every member.
One architecture, adapted sector by sector
The same three lenses and product catalogue, adapted to each sector's data, metrics and stakeholders.
Higher education
Laboratory-intensive research estates, HESA-aligned reporting, and the L-PUE benchmarking differentiator. View the sector page →
NHS
Acute hospital estates, ERIC-aligned reporting, and the H-PUE clinical activity benchmark.
Your sector
Built on the same architecture. Get in touch to discuss what a deployment would look like.
Help shape the Network. Pay once you've seen the value.
Founding members co-design the Network and shape it around what they actually need — not a finished product handed down.
- Low-cost, low-effort to join. Start with a core dataset, not a complete one.
- Pay for demonstrated value. A founding rate, only once the Network has delivered its first outputs.
- Your data stays yours. Held securely; benchmarks are always shared anonymously.
- A seat in shaping the model. Ongoing input into templates, metrics and priorities.
Founding cohorts: 8–15 organisations per sector.

Before you get in touch
No questions match “”. Try a different word, or ask us directly.
A sector-wide membership network that pools standardised consumption, cost and carbon data from every member into a single validated dataset — then gives each member independent benchmarking, target-setting and investment evidence drawn from it.
Lower controllable energy cost, faster and better-evidenced progress to net zero, a clear view of how you compare to genuine peers, and de-risked capital investment backed by independent evidence rather than supplier claims.
The first intelligence cycle is designed to surface avoidable cost and carbon within the first year, benchmarked against peers and converted into a prioritised action list. Value compounds from there.
No. The Network measures consumption, cost-efficiency and investment performance, but never benchmarks procurement unit rates or ranks suppliers. Optimising the price of energy stays with your existing procurement partner.
Yes. Data is held securely and in strict confidence. Benchmarks and insights are always shared anonymously — you see your own data and anonymised peer comparisons only.
The Network is funded by annual membership, scaled to organisation size. Founding members pay a founding rate, payable only once the first meaningful outputs have been delivered — so you pay for demonstrated value, not a promise.
Yes — this is one of the problems the Network exists to solve. We work with what you have and help you improve it year on year.
