Background

JLL Hank, an AI-powered energy platform under JLL Technologies, optimizes HVAC and energy operations for 1,000+ commercial buildings. In Late 2023, Medro Hi-Tech Systems enhanced Hank with IoT interoperability, predictive modeling, and generative AI simulations for ESG-compliant energy management at Royal London Asset Management’s 125,000 sq ft HQ in London.

Challenge

  • Volatile energy prices (+25% in 2024) increasing operational costs
  • Legacy HVAC wasted ~30% energy during occupancy fluctuations
  • Excess CO2 emissions ~1,000+ tons/year, £200K annual cost
  • Manual adjustment and limited fault detection led to inefficiency
  • Pressure to meet net-zero and ESG compliance mandates

Solution & Implementation

Core Tech

  • ML models ingested occupancy, temperature, CO2, and weather data
  • Predictive adjustments: pre-cooling/heating 30 minutes ahead
  • Fault detection for proactive maintenance and equipment longevity
  • Generative AI “what-if” energy scenario simulations

Deployment

  • 5-month rollout: sensor audit, AI tuning, live Siemens BMS integration
  • Edge gateways for sub-second latency
  • Real-time dashboards embedded via Power BI
  • UKGBC-certified carbon accounting
