Notes de l'éditeur
I’M ED COLBY AND I DON’T HAVE A PLATFORM.
Over twenty years working across a number of industries we’ve found problems with common themes.
We come from a background of energy efficiency, hardware and data, across consumer products, smart cities and smart grid – 30 years of talking to people making and using sensor based systems.
Here are some of the types of problems that can’t be solved with one clever sensor
A survey last year suggested 60% of facilities managers don’t (or can’t) use building energy management systems.
It’s not because you can’t get value from a BEMS – over the past four years there are hundreds of case studies of facilities managers who have saved 40% or more of their energy footprint.
It’s because BEMS are hard to install, hard to use and don’t provide good analytics – they tend to rely on experts to interpret the results and take action.

Context?
Things happening in the market:
interest in higher resolution information: not just
Take for example the data that is used to make improvements in energy efficiency.
Although energy efficiency is rated as important by asset owners in many many surveys, effective use of the tools is much lower.
Why? Because energy efficiency is not the most valuable use for energy data.

Making heat data valuable needs context - location and time for multiple sensors.
To be good value means it requires minimum effort to get to the knowledge
Purr provides a hardware system that is trivial to deploy - minutes, not hours, even for non technical office managers - and combines it with a web account that turns data into simple, actionable information.
The IoT provides a great opportunity to build business models that rely on hardware and scale with the value that the hardware offers.
Selling a knowledge product allows us more flexibility to scale the product offering up and down with the value that the knowledge represents.
We’re just beginning to determine the early value propositions that customers want from Purr’s system.
Roadmap for the rest of this year
Beta system in deployment
Early BOM and manufacturing plan
Pilots in offices and data centres (tick)
First commercial sales (tick)
