From Insight to Impact: How IoT Strengthened Alex’s Energy Consulting Practice

Client

Alex, a lead engineer working for a consulting firm specializing in energy audits, sustainability planning, and energy management systems for commercial and institutional buildings.

Challenges

Alex’s team was consistently running into a familiar problem: after completing audits or feasibility studies, they had limited ability to validate savings or track how systems performed over time. Their recommendations were sound, but the lack of real-time, site-level data meant they often had to rely on outdated utility bills or infrequent reporting. Clients wanted ongoing insights—but manual monitoring wasn’t scalable, and traditional energy dashboards lacked the granularity needed for deeper analysis or follow-through.

Solution

To bridge the gap between recommendations and results, Alex’s firm partnered with Clarity and integrated Clarity’s IQ Product Suite into their consulting workflow. For one institutional client, they deployed smart submeters and IoT sensors across HVAC, lighting, and water systems. The real-time data streamed into Clarity’s dashboard, allowing Alex’s team to continuously monitor building performance, validate project outcomes, and generate custom reports without repeated site visits or manual data wrangling.

The platform also enabled them to layer in alerts, track KPIs over time, and refine operational recommendations with hard evidence. They could now back up their expertise with real-time data—strengthening client relationships and increasing long-term engagement.
