EMEX, the UK’s flagship energy management exhibition, saw a commanding presence from ClearVUE, as the company showcased its revolutionary AI-driven platform’s data integrity, decision-making capabilities and cost optimisation, designed to help businesses manage energy, sustainability, and compliance with confidence.
During live sessions, ClearVUE technology challenged the limits of traditional energy monitoring, via the introduction of their proprietary AI-model, IRIS. In tandem with ClearVUE.Zero — the company’s energy and carbon real time data monitoring system — IRIS showed visitors the power of intelligently focusing on energy and carbon savings while driving real change.
A key feature is IRIS’ data-driven and sector specific recommendations that are easily tailored to an individual organisation’s operations. Cost savings, carbon reductions, and net zero procurement decisions are then presented with the level of rigour expected by boards, auditors, and regulators.
A Real-Time System of Record for Energy and Carbon
ClearVUE.Zero provides facilities managers, energy teams, and finance leaders with consistent, timestamped, and verifiable data across multiple sites, production lines and operational activities. Designed to ingest and process high-resolution consumption data from across estate portfolios — down to circuit-level resolution — ClearVUE.Zero facilitates audit-ready reporting for SECR, SBTi, and internal ESG mandates.
At EMEX 2025, visitors to Stand B20 saw the power of ClearVUE.Zero combined with ClearVUE.IRIS and how it is fast becoming the digital assistant of choice for energy managers and sustainability teams. At their fingertips, and within seconds, they now have enhanced visibility of weekend baseload drift in large logistics hubs, granularity on HVAC anomalies in multi-storey office estates and much more.
The platform’s ability to compare energy consumption by asset, circuit, or site — at 15-minute intervals and automate scope 1 and 2 carbon tracking — was central to its strong reception among the event’s technical audience.
“Having worked in energy management for over 30 years across the globe, this is the first platform I’ve seen that truly assists energy managers,” said Dan Smith, Director of Energy Services at ClearVUE. “It automates the time-consuming data analysis we used to spend hours on and delivers the clarity and accountability that energy managers have been demanding for years.”
Introducing IRIS: The Embedded AI for Operational Opportunity
ClearVUE.IRIS’ ability to transform raw consumption patterns into action-orientated recommendations, gives businesses a way to act faster — and with greater confidence.
At the heart of IRIS is its Opportunity Engine — a continuously updating intelligence layer that interprets live data and surfaces the most impactful interventions across an estate. It detects and it quantifies anomalies, contextualises them, and converts them into clearly defined opportunities, allowing organisations to focus resources on the changes that matter most.
“There remains a gap between an organisation’s ambitions and the current status quo,” added Dr David Lloyd. “Identifying and prioritising the most impactful actions remains an outstanding challenge. IRIS is able to bridge that gap, by transforming company specific data and contextual information into a feasible and credible sustainability strategy.”
What interested delegates the most was the level of precision in IRIS’s recommendations. Unlike generic alerting systems, IRIS explains the problem, attributes causality, and ranks actions by savings potential, ease of resolution, and time-to-impact. Each issue is assigned to an owner, complete with rationale and expected benefit — creating accountability across departments.
Live demonstrations — delivered by ClearVUE’s energy consultants and technical directors — enabled EMEX attendees to interact directly with the platform, explore real case studies, and ask questions in their own words.
Delegates responded positively to the platform’s ease of use, the breadth and depth of its analytical capabilities, and the high degree of automated number-crunching behind its recommendations — with many noting that IRIS’s outputs were already fit for presentation to boards and finance teams.
Kai Whiting, ClearVUE’s Sustainability Strategy and Content Lead, noted the growing demand from businesses for transparent and actionable intelligence. “There’s nothing hypothetical about the pressure businesses are under to reduce energy waste,” he said. “IRIS gives us the clarity and credibility to work in partnership with your business — helping identify inefficiencies with real data and delivering measurable outcomes that reduce cost and carbon without the guesswork.”
Flexer: Market-Facing AI for Procurement and Risk Teams
While ClearVUE.IRIS specialises in operational efficiency and sustainability, a second AI engine — ClearVUE.Flexer — addresses another one of the most complex challenges businesses face: energy procurement. For organisations with flexible purchasing strategies, Flexer provides a decisive edge. It interprets commodity markets and regulatory structures while assessing non-commodity charges (including DUoS, TNUoS, TRIADs, and CfDs) to flag optimal buying windows and highlight avoidable pass-through costs — helping procurement teams act with greater confidence and precision.
Procurement managers, CFOs, and energy traders visiting the stand saw how Flexer’s forecasting engine could support structured procurement and hedging decisions by exposing where and when cost risk emerges. Forecasted levy impacts, real-time exposure views, and procurement prompts are all presented in the platform with accompanying data logic.
“Our industry has long needed a tool that understands not just price, but exposure,” said Latif Faiyaz, Head of Energy Trading. “Flexer reads the market in a way most risk models can’t — by combining contextual information with real-time data. That means when the market turns, your business can execute pre-modelled actions with speed, certainty, and full internal audit traceability.”
Quantified Results: 15.3% Average Identified Savings
Throughout EMEX, ClearVUE revealed new data from recent client implementations. Across the company, there is a track record of having identified an average of 15.3% in actionable energy savings per site — across sectors including manufacturing, education, logistics, and healthcare.
This figure, based on verified and timestamped opportunities with known kWh and £ values, was shared across the company’s headline demo slots and featured in its post-event campaigns. ClearVUE also noted improved action closure rates and shortened time-to-impact for clients using IRIS compared to traditional monitoring and targeting tools.
EMEX Takeaways: From Monitoring to Movement
ClearVUE’s presence at EMEX 2025 reinforced a shift already underway in enterprise energy management: moving from passive monitoring to action-led data-driven intelligence. As organisations face increasing pressure to decarbonise, improve cost stability, and report with audit-grade transparency, the appetite for solutions that combine live data with built-in decision support is growing.
Speaking after the event, David Cole, Director of Global Operations at ClearVUE, reflected on what this shift represents for industry: “We built ClearVUE.IRIS to meet current and future business needs,” he said. “Every business now sits at the intersection of rising energy costs, growing sustainability expectations, and increasing regulatory demands. IRIS equips them with the intelligence to navigate that complexity by enhancing human expertise with the power of AI. We’re already seeing the impact across our global client base: faster decisions, measurable savings, and a marked change in cross-functional alignment. This is the kind of technology businesses need, not just to perform better, but to play their part in a more sustainable world.”
The company also announced new strategic engagements with stadiums, higher education institutions, and manufacturers — all seeking to align sustainability, finance, and facilities functions under one decision system.
Next Steps
Following EMEX, ClearVUE has secured bookings for more comprehensive tailored demonstrations and site assessments — inviting organisations to quantify their own savings potential with IRIS and Flexer.
