Legal and General Investment Management (LGIM) is one of the UK’s most active real estate managers with £23.4 billion of investments under management. Sustainability is at the heart of their investment decision-making processes with the acknowledgement that real assets have a significant impact on society and its ecosystem. LGIM’s ESG strategy includes the concept of “continuous commissioning” in which Demand Logic’s building systems data analytics play a key role. Demand Logic was deployed in Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street in London. A newly built 110,000 sq ft office building. In an effort to identify efficiencies following on from Practical Completion of the property.

Demand Logic’s platform uses data analysis to look at the operational performance of the internal environment, HVAC equipment and the BMS control. In a new building it can identify snags and evaluates if the property is operated as effectively and efficiently as possible, identifying faulty & offline equipment to ensure rectification within the liability period. Demand Logic can also automatically provide an asset list checking completeness and existence of equipment.

Within the first three months, 26 energy saving actions were identified, many of which will also have an impact on the comfort of the buildings occupants, as well as on equipment life-cycle costs. Demand Logic’s platform is now serving as the collaboration hub for the building managers & contractors to address the issues identified
