Every problem in a public building is an energy problem.
Use too much, and you fail your energy targets. Provide too little, and you fail your tenants. Planetic holds the line between the two — from the meters you already have.
Two ways to get fined. They pull in opposite directions.
Push hard for net zero and you can leave homes cold and damp. Play it safe with heat and you miss your carbon and cost targets. Most monitoring watches one side. Planetic watches both.
Too little heat
Cold homes, damp and mould
Awaab’s Law (in force 27 October 2025): damp and mould investigated within 10 working days, emergencies made safe within 24 hours. HHSRS Category 1 hazards must be removed.
Too much energy
Poor performance, missed targets
MEES: social and privately rented homes must reach EPC C by 1 April 2030 — the first time social housing is in scope. Public buildings must display a DEC; large non-domestic rented heads to EPC B by 2031.
Both are energy problems. The same network measures both.
One install. Compliance and care, on the same network.
A sensor on the supply gives you the kilowatt-hours behind your DEC, your EPC performance and your net-zero reporting. A small sensor on the wall gives you the temperature and humidity behind damp, mould, cold-home risk and void detection. Same network, same install visit, one dashboard.
Net zero withoutharming tenants — that is the needle Planetic threads.
Point us at your estate. We’ll tell you where to act first.
You don’t have to wait for sensors. Using the EPC and DEC records you already hold, Planetic ranks every property on two axes — risk (MEES and HHSRS exposure) and opportunity (carbon and cost savings). The buildings that score high on both are where you act first.
A ranked shortlist — the “fix first” properties, not a 2,000-row spreadsheet.

A board-ready risk-and-opportunity map of the whole estate.
From a one-off EPC snapshot to always-on — rank the risk, deploy the sensor, then monitor continuously.
Heat when it’s needed. Off when it’s not.
Low-cost LoRaWAN controls make sure heat is provided where it has to be — for vulnerable tenants, for compliance — and switched off where a space sits empty. Because every reading is logged, Planetic measures the building’s actual heat loss instead of guessing it, so retrofit and net-zero plans are built on evidence, and the upgrade budget goes where it moves the rating.
Reach net zero properly. Heat the people, not the empty rooms.
runtime
6.5 h heating vs 14 h always-on
Comfortable when occupied, off when empty.
Boiler leads occupancy by ~45 min and coasts off early on residual heat. Comfort held 19–21°C.

Your DEC, automated.
A Display Energy Certificate is required for every public building over 250 m² that the public visits, rated A–G on the actual metered energy of the last 12 months. Buildings over 1,000 m² must renew every year. Planetic collects those readings live, 24/7 — so when your assessor needs the annual data, your DEC pack is ready in one click. (Failing to display a valid DEC carries a £1,500 penalty.)
No rip-and-replace.If you already monitor energy with Planetic, you’re already collecting DEC data. Nothing new to install.
Two devices per building. They clip onto the meters you already have.
Net Zero & Energy — what gets installed
Electricity: Eastron SDM630 (LoRaWAN, MID-certified). CT clamps go around the existing tails — non-invasive. Gas:Fludia FM432g — an optical head reads the existing dial; a battery radio sends the data. Nothing is cut.
Damp & Mould — what gets installed
A temperature + humidity sensor per dwelling — damp and mould risk, cold-home / HHSRS evidence, void detection, and an audit trail for Awaab’s Law. Occupancy and heating control optional.
Older or off-gas buildings: oil / LPG pulse counter on the tank flow meter; heat meter (M-Bus / LoRaWAN) for district heating. Everything clips on in minutes — no rewiring, no disruption.
Cover a whole town without building a network.
Planetic runs on LoRaWAN — long-range, low-power radio. Operators like Netmore are rolling out nationwide UK coverage on demand, and The Things Network adds free community coverage across many towns. Where coverage already exists, you don’t build or maintain anything — you add devices and they’re on air.
It doesn’t stop at the screen.
The reading is checked against the rulebook on an orchestration engine. When it’s out of band the job is created, sent to the right person and chased to sign-off — and every step is logged.
