5 Building Systems. 1 Dashboard. How Atamate Reduced Property Running Costs
Discover how Atamate transformed a five-flat short-term let property near Cardiff Bay with intelligent building automation. By bringing heating, lighting, ventilation, hot tub controls, keyless access and energy monitoring into one dashboard, atBOS helped reduce costs, improve energy efficiency and simplify day-to-day property management.
4 things standing in the way of decarbonising commercial buildings
Buildings produce 30-40% of global carbon emissions, yet most generate almost no usable data. After 15 years working on the problem, here are the four things I’ve seen holding back commercial building decarbonisation, from lost plant room data to badly sized heat pumps.v
3 reasons commercial buildings underperform (and how to fix them)
After 30 years developing low-energy buildings, I’ve seen the same problems on every site. Here are the 3 reasons most commercial buildings underperform, and how wireless, room-level controls are delivering 30% energy savings by fixing the basics.
My flats beat Passivhaus and still only scraped an EPC C
I built a block of 6 flats in Cardiff that beat Passivhaus standards, yet it could only just scrape an EPC C. Here’s why SAP ignores controls and real performance, and what that means for builders, social housing providers and the residents paying the bills.
What I learned pitching Atamate to AstraZeneca
I pitched Atamate to AstraZeneca at an Innovate UK Meet the Buyer event. Here’s why their estate is exactly the challenge atBOS was built for, and why the conversations with other founders afterwards turned out to be a highlight.
Your building has controls. But is it actually controlled?
Having building controls doesn't mean your building is truly controlled. Discover where your building sits on the four-level Building Control Sophistication Index and how smarter, real-time HVAC control can reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions, simplify maintenance and improve indoor environments.
How Oxfordshire is making Net Zero affordable
See how Oxfordshire County Council uses atBOS to control heat pumps across 7 sites, moving from gas to electric without the cost of a traditional BMS.
The heat pump paradox: why building control is now a necessity
Switching from gas to heat pumps can nearly double effective heating costs for commercial buildings. Here’s why room-level control is the key to making the economics work, and how atBOS brings costs back down to 6-7p per kWh.
Why Scotland’s retrofit centre chose Atamate
BE-ST, Scotland’s National Retrofit Centre, has installed atBOS across its two lab sites. Here’s how real performance monitoring helps retrofit projects deliver the savings they promise, and why that matters for a £30bn market.
Why buildings are still running on carburettors
Cars swapped carburettors for digital fuel injection decades ago, and it transformed what they could do. Buildings are still waiting for that moment. Here’s how atBOS brings room-level data and control to buildings, and what it means for energy use.
Why I built a brain for buildings
Every building I retrofitted across central London was fighting against itself. Here’s what I kept seeing on site, and how it led me to build atBOS, a wireless operating system that can retrofit any building and cut energy use by 30%.
Atamate is now an official Autodesk Tandem partner
Atamate is now an official partner of Autodesk Tandem. Our Building Operating System, atBOS, feeds real-time sensor and metering data into Tandem, turning static digital twins into live models that show how buildings actually perform.
The hidden winter cost of electric heating
Commercial electricity bills charge for peak demand as well as usage, and electric heating pushes that peak up just when the grid is most expensive. Here’s why switching from gas can drive bills up, and how smart load management keeps costs in check.
The performance gap: why building models get it wrong
Buildings routinely use 2 to 3 times more energy than SAP and SBEM models predict. Here’s why the performance gap exists, how Europe’s revised EPBD is shifting the focus to real-world performance, and what high-quality building data reveals.
UK building regulations as a roadmap to better performance
MID, DEC, SECR, ESOS, EPC, MEES: UK building regulations can feel like alphabet soup. Here’s how the smartest building owners use them as a roadmap to better performance, plus a cheat sheet of what each one requires.
