Most ESG reports are educated guesses. Here’s what that’s costing you
Most ESG reports are just educated guesses.
Governments across the UK and EU now require large building owners to report their energy use by law. Most do it by plugging old design estimates into an annual spreadsheet and ticking the box.
The problem? Those estimates are off by up to 70% compared to what buildings actually consume. You're not reporting real performance. You're reporting a number someone guessed at planning stage.
And that gap is quietly costing you a fortune in two ways.
1. Wasted energy. Your offices are half-empty on Mondays and Fridays. The heating and ventilation don't know that. They're running at full power for empty rooms all week.
2. Bill spikes from peak moments. When multiple heat pumps and EV chargers all switch on at the same time (say, 7:30 AM on a cold Monday), that single moment can push your energy bill up 25-40% for the entire next year. Not just that day. The whole year.
Old building control systems can't stop either from happening. They track what's going on. They don't fix it.
atBOS does both. It uses live, room-by-room wireless sensors to detect empty spaces and dial services down, cutting energy use by up to 30%. And it staggers when high-power equipment switches on, so you never get hit by that expensive peak spike.
Your building should be earning its keep. Not bleeding money through reports that miss the real picture.
