CosmOS Platform expands with Live Carbon module

We’re thrilled to announce that we are taking our CosmOS Smart Building Operating System to the next level with the introduction of Live Carbon™, an advanced energy management module with the support of the Energy Innovation Agency (EIA). This exciting addition not only enhances the already powerful building management capabilities of CosmOS but also reinforces Greater Manchester’s leadership in green technology.

CosmOS has always been about smart automation for building operations, from heating and lighting to access control. But now, with Live Carbon™, we’re adding features that are all about reducing carbon footprints and making buildings run even more efficiently. Steven Tomlinson, our CEO, explains it best: “With EIA’s support, we’re introducing energy optimisation tools that can help buildings reduce their carbon footprint, but more importantly measure it accurately instead of relying on outdated over-estimations.”

So, what’s new?

• AI-driven predictions that help forecast energy usage
• Real-time carbon usage tracking, integrated with National Grid data
• Automated energy optimisation, using live data to minimise energy consumption
• Dynamic load shifting, ensuring buildings use renewable energy whenever possible
• Comprehensive carbon footprint reports

This means that CosmOS will not only manage your building’s operations but will also actively help reduce its environmental impact. Adam Prescott, CTO of Nemiah, explains how Live Carbon™ works: “We’re using real-time carbon intensity data to make smarter decisions, like scheduling energy-hungry systems, such as water heating, during periods of low grid carbon intensity.”

Real-World Results at Leigh Works

The first place you’ll see Live Carbon™ in action is at Leigh Works, where our existing CosmOS installation is already managing operations. The energy managment module will be put to the test, aiming for:

• Annual energy savings of up to 9,237 kWh
• Carbon reductions of around 1,893 kgCO2eq
• Real-world validation of AI-driven energy optimisation

Why Greater Manchester is the perfect test bed

This development comes at an ideal time for Greater Manchester, where 75% of power comes from low-carbon sources like Heysham Nuclear Power Station and Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm. CosmOS is perfectly suited to take advantage of this green energy landscape, allowing buildings to optimise operations for sustainability automatically.

Scheduled for completion in early 2025, this project will serve as a model for other buildings using CosmOS, showing how advanced energy management can be seamlessly integrated to further reduce carbon footprints.
