FID Case Study: Klimatise
Klimatise is transforming how buildings manage temperature and energy use through intelligent software that adapts in real time to reduce waste and improve comfort.
Through the Future Industries Demonstrator (FID) at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Klimatise has demonstrated how dynamic temperature control and occupant feedback can optimise building performance, reduce energy demand and enhance user experience.
The challenge
Heating and cooling are among the largest drivers of energy use in commercial buildings, often accounting for a significant proportion of operational costs and emissions.
Yet building management systems typically rely on static temperature settings, leading to:
- Overheating and overcooling of spaces
- High and avoidable energy consumption
- Limited responsiveness to occupant needs
- Poor visibility of comfort levels across buildings
- Inefficient use of existing HVAC infrastructure
For facilities managers and building owners, balancing energy efficiency with occupant comfort remains a persistent challenge.
The solution
Klimatise has developed the Klimatise Cloud Thermostat (KCT), a software platform that reduces unnecessary heating and cooling by dynamically adjusting temperature setpoints.
The platform uses:
- Real-time optimisation through dynamic setpoints
- Crowdsourced occupant comfort feedback via a simple web app
- Integration with existing HVAC systems, avoiding costly upgrades
- Localised adjustments to address problem areas within buildings
By combining human feedback with intelligent automation, Klimatise enables buildings to operate more efficiently while improving comfort for those inside them.
Testing at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Through FID, Klimatise deployed its Cloud Thermostat across multiple commercial buildings on the Park, testing how intelligent temperature control performs in live, occupied environments.
Trial approach
- Installation and integration of the Klimatise Cloud Thermostat across four buildings
- Collaboration with facilities management teams, IT teams and systems integrators
- Live deployment controlling fan coil unit (FCU) setpoints in occupied workspaces
- Engagement with building users through a web app to capture comfort feedback
Results and impact
The trial demonstrated both technical feasibility and commercial viability:
- Paid contracts secured during the trial, validating market demand
- Successful deployment across four buildings, with live operation in three sites
- Early feedback shows occupants are broadly comfortable, with positive responses from facilities teams
- New partnerships formed with systems integrators and major facilities managers including Colliers and Savills
While longer-term data is still being gathered, early indicators are promising. Klimatise expects to quantify energy savings and comfort improvements over time, with early pilots suggesting up to 30% reductions in heating and cooling demand.
