Building energy management system for facilities teams

Remote control and live monitoring for every site you manage.

Waste you don’t see until it’s too late

AC and extraction run after close, a fridge fails overnight, or a site misses a Legionella check. Across many sites, problems like these create real issues such as wasted energy and stock, and put your next inspection at risk.

A building energy management system (BEMS) monitors and controls equipment such as HVAC, lighting and refrigeration, adjusting it automatically to cut waste and flag problems. Clearworld's Vision iQ does just that, giving your facilities team remote control and live monitoring across the estate. You run it from your desk and get an instant alert when something needs attention.

The problem

Control gets harder as your estate grows

Schedules that drift

Sites end up with their own schedules and setpoints, and staff can easily override them. You have no way to see what has changed.

Small changes need a visit

Changing a schedule or shutting down a unit means sending an engineer or raising a job with your BMS contractor. Those visits take engineers away from real faults.

Gaps in BMS coverage

A BMS covers some sites and misses others. You cover the difference by phone and by visit, with no single view across all your sites.

Vision iQ

How Vision iQ helps your facilities team take control

Control from your desk

Energy iQ lets you set schedules and setpoints by site or zone, and switch equipment off at one site or across the estate, without raising a job with your BMS contractor. You can lock out AC overrides or allow temporary ones that time out. You also get remote building monitoring, with live energy use down to each device.

Alerts when it matters

Remote temperature monitoring from Sense iQ covers the cold chain and Legionella checks, with every reading logged for HACCP records and EHO visits. Vision iQ alerts you when a reading leaves its range or equipment develops a fault, and you decide from the same screen whether an engineer goes.

Works with your BMS

Vision iQ bolts on to your current BMS and covers sites and equipment it misses. It connects to most BMS platforms through open protocols, and at sites without a BMS it runs standalone, so you work from one system. Nothing gets replaced, and site teams have nothing new to learn or run. Fitting is wireless, with no rewiring.

Proven results on estates like yours

wagamama saved £1.14 million across 140 restaurants

wagamama's priority was no disruption for its customers. We surveyed sites with the restaurant teams, fitted overnight so trading wasn't affected, and rolled out in four phases across 140 sites after a five-site pilot. To date, wagamama has saved £1.14 million and 4.4 million kWh, and avoided 918 tonnes of CO2, with a payback period of 18 months. Our support bureau is on hand whenever a site needs something adjusted.

Rontec paid back its investment in under a year

Rontec brought wireless HVAC control to 256 sites. After a phased lead-in, we fitted 10 sites a week without disruption, and completed the rollout in six months. Rontec cut electricity use by an average of 14%, saving 4.85 million kWh and 1,004 tonnes of CO2e. Savings of £1.72 million outweigh the £1.65 million project cost, so the system paid for itself under a year.

Your Vision iQ™ saving estimate

Vision iQ

This is an indicative estimate based on benchmark assumptions for your sector, not a guaranteed saving. Clearworld will validate the figure with half-hourly data and/or a site survey before any formal savings proposal.

The ROI assumes an indicative Vision iQ investment of per site plus per site per month, set against the expected saving shown.

Step 01/04

Your Business

Every type of site uses energy differently. This sets your starting benchmark.

Opening Hours

Most avoidable waste happens after you close.

Step 02/04

Energy use

Use whichever figure is on your bill. A rough number is fine.

The more that runs unattended, the more Vision iQ™ can switch off.

Equipment on site

Tick everything on your site. Each item adds its own saving to your estimate.

Gas hot water isn't counted, because this estimate covers electricity only.

How it works

Three steps to control across your estate

You commit budget once the numbers from your own sites back it up.

Step 01

Free data audit

Send us your half-hourly energy data, which your energy team or supplier can pull. We find where equipment runs when it shouldn't.

Step 02

Pilot

You arrange access, and we survey one or two sites, checking your existing controls and BMS. We fit Sense iQ sensors and Energy iQ controls out of hours and show you the results on your own equipment.

Step 03

Rollout

You set the pace. We roll out across your other sites in phases that fit your site access windows, and our support bureau is on hand as each site goes live.

FAQs

Facilities FAQs

Will installing Vision iQ create more work for my team?

No. Site teams have nothing new to learn or run. Vision iQ works in the background, adjusting equipment and flagging issues automatically, so there's no extra system to check or maintain day-to-day. If something needs attention, you get an alert; your team doesn't have to go looking for problems themselves.

How disruptive is the installation?

Fitting is wireless, with no rewiring and no downtime, and it happens out of hours, so sites keep trading. Clearworld's engineers fit it, and most sites go live in one visit.

Who maintains it once it's installed?

Our support bureau adjusts settings whenever a site asks, so there's no need to book an engineer for small changes. Every device comes with a three-year guarantee, and Sense iQ fridge sensor batteries last five years. Because Vision iQ runs on open protocols, you're not tied to one contractor for callouts the way you can be with closed systems.

Will Vision iQ interfere with our existing BMS?

No. Vision iQ bolts on to your existing BMS rather than replacing it. It connects through open protocols, so it works alongside the system you already have in place, and covers any sites or equipment your current BMS doesn't reach. At sites without a BMS at all, it runs standalone.

Can staff override the schedule?

You get to choose. With Energy iQ, you can lock out AC overrides entirely, or allow temporary ones that time out automatically after a set period. Every override, whether blocked or allowed, is logged with an alert, so you always know what changed, where, and when.

What happens if something goes offline?

Support is set up to suit each estate. If you're on a Clearworld support plan, we take care of it. Our support bureau can reach every device remotely, so most issues are fixed without a site visit. Your own team has the same remote access, and we provide training so they can handle things themselves if they prefer.
