Smart building solutions for property teams

Get more from every site without replacing the equipment you already own.

Where your estate holds you back

You’ve built your estate up over years, site by site, so every building runs on different equipment and controls. Some sites have a BMS, and many don’t. Replacing it all would take years and capex you don’t have.

Smart building solutions use sensors and controls to run a building’s equipment for you, cutting waste and flagging faults. Clearworld’s Vision iQ retrofits to the equipment you already have. It connects to your BMS where you have one and runs standalone where you don’t, giving you one standard across the estate and the data to see which sites and assets need investment.

The problem

The hidden cost of multi-site management

No two sites are the same

Each site has its own equipment and controls, so a fix that works at one site needs reworking at the next. Rolling it out estate-wide would take years.

Replacement costs too much

Upgrading HVAC and refrigeration across hundreds of sites needs capex you don’t have, so you keep paying for ageing equipment that costs you more to run each year.

You can’t see where to invest

Without asset-level data, you can’t tell which sites underperform or which equipment needs replacing, so it’s hard to know where your budget should go.

Vision iQ

Get more from your estate with Vision iQ

Save before you replace

Vision iQ retrofits to the HVAC and refrigeration already in your buildings, so you start saving without buying new plant. You cut the cost of running ageing equipment before you spend anything on replacements. Wireless fitting avoids the cost of rewiring, and sites keep trading while our engineers work.

One standard across your estate

Older sites, new builds, sites with a BMS and sites without all run on the same system. You roll out one standard of control across hundreds of sites, in phases that fit your budget and access windows. Vision iQ connects to most BMS platforms, so you build on the controls you’ve already paid for.

Invest where it counts

You see how each asset performs across the estate, from energy use to recurring faults. Rank sites by performance and find the equipment costing you the most, so your capex plan rests on evidence. After you replace a unit, you can prove the return to the board with before-and-after data.

Proven results on estates like yours

wagamama scaled from a five-site pilot to 140 restaurants

wagamama tested Vision iQ at five sites and saw the results before committing to its full estate. We then rolled out across 140 restaurants in four phases, fitting overnight so every site kept trading. To date, wagamama has saved £1.14 million and 4.4 million kWh, and paid back its investment in 18 months.

Rontec retrofitted 256 sites in six months

Rontec added wireless HVAC control to the existing equipment across its 256 roadside sites. After a phased lead-in, our engineers fitted 10 sites a week and covered the estate in six months. Savings of £1.72 million now outweigh the £1.65 million project cost, and Rontec cut electricity use by an average of 14%, paying back its investment in 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.

Step 03/04

HVAC & controls

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

Step 04/04

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 better performance across your estate

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, and which sites have the most to gain.

Step 02

Pilot

We survey one or two sites and check your existing controls and BMS. Then we fit out of hours and show you the results on your own equipment.

Step 03

Rollout

You set the pace. We rollout across the rest of your estate in phases, and our support bureau is on hand as each site goes live.

FAQs

Property FAQs

What are smart building solutions?

Smart building solutions use sensors and controls to monitor and run equipment such as HVAC, lighting and refrigeration for you. Vision iQ brings this to your existing buildings without replacing equipment, and you manage every site from one system.

How scalable is Vision iQ?

Vision iQ is built for estates of hundreds of sites. The controls are wireless, and most sites go live in one visit, so you can cover your estate in months.

What will be the rollout cost?

It depends on the size of your estate and the equipment at each site. The free data audit and pilot give you costs and savings from your own sites before you commit budget.

Does it work across different buildings and equipment?

Yes. Vision iQ fits to existing HVAC, lighting and refrigeration. It connects to most BMS platforms through open protocols and runs standalone where you have no BMS.

Why not replace your current BMS equipment instead?

Replacing equipment across hundreds of sites takes years and significant capex. Vision iQ gets more from the equipment you own, and you’ll see which assets need replacing, so you only spend capex where it counts.
