Metering & Monitoring for Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
Measure What Matters and Manage What Counts
Changing Footprint’s CIBSE TM39 compliant building energy metering and monitoring service helps organisations improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions through data-led insight.
As the saying goes, “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.”
Our Metering and Monitoring service helps organisations unlock meaningful insight from their energy data — turning numbers into actions that drive energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
We review, optimise, and connect your metering and control systems to give you the visibility and confidence to manage performance effectively. Through real-time dashboards, clear alerts and tailored reports, we make it simple to monitor energy use, identify savings and continuously improve.
How Our Metering & Monitoring Service Works
Step 1 – Review of Metering Strategy (CIBSE TM39)
We start with a full review of your existing metering strategy against CIBSE TM39 best practice. This ensures your systems capture the right data at the right points — from main feeds to sub-meters — providing a strong foundation for accurate energy management.
Step 2 – BMS Control Strategy Review
We assess how your Building Management System (BMS) operates in relation to metering data, identifying where control logic or sequencing may be driving inefficiency or masking true performance.
Step 3 – Revision of BMS & Metering Setup
Our specialists revise and align your BMS control strategy and metering configuration to improve accuracy, responsiveness and coverage — ensuring data quality and system harmony.
Step 4 – Integration with Online Dashboard
We connect all meters to a secure, cloud-based dashboard for real-time visibility of energy use across your building or estate. You’ll gain intuitive access to live data, consumption trends, and performance benchmarks.
Step 5 – Set-Point Parameters & Alerts
We consult with your teams and establish tailored control parameters and set-point limits, with automated alerts for unusual consumption or system faults — enabling proactive management and early intervention.
Step 6 – Reporting & Insights
Our weekly and monthly reports summarise performance, highlight anomalies and recommend actions to enhance efficiency and reduce carbon impact. All reports are clear, visual and aligned with operational needs.
Step 7 – Quarterly Performance Summary
Each quarter, we provide a concise summary of metering and monitoring success, outlining improvements achieved, carbon reductions and opportunities for further efficiency gains.
Continuous Improvement for Energy Efficiency
We don’t just install and step away.
Our service includes an ongoing Continuous Efficiency Cycle, where performance data feeds directly into energy management strategies.
This approach ensures:
- Continuous optimisation of control systems.
- Long-term tracking of efficiency measures.
- Measurable carbon reduction outcomes.
- Tangible return on investment for energy projects
Empowering Your Team
Technology is powerful — but people make it work.
We provide optional training and user engagement to help your facilities, energy, or sustainability teams interpret data, respond to alerts and take ownership of efficiency outcomes.
By combining technology, process and people, we help embed sustainable energy management at the heart of your operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
CIBSE TM39 is the recognised standard for building energy metering. It ensures that metering systems deliver usable data that supports meaningful energy and carbon management.
Not always. We’ll first assess your current setup and identify where additional sub-meters or reconfigurations can improve coverage and accuracy.
Yes. We can connect most major BMS and metering systems into one unified online dashboard for seamless monitoring and reporting.
You’ll receive detailed weekly and monthly performance reports, plus a quarterly summary highlighting savings, efficiency trends, and next-step recommendations.
Every kWh saved reduces emissions. By identifying where energy is wasted and optimising control, our metering and monitoring service directly supports your carbon reduction objectives.
