00:00So we have now a new pitch, this time from a company called Enerbrain, which is a Turin-based company
00:11that has developed an innovative software and hardware solution that automates, manages, and controls any type of building in a
00:19way that contributes to energy savings, lower CO2 emission, and improved indoor air quality.
00:27Enerbrain is supported by EDF, who are Viva Technology 2022 exclusive sustainability partners, so I should say that. Enerbrain, please.
00:38Thank you. Yes, we are Enerbrain Energy Optimization, hardware, software, cloud-based technology, which optimizes energy consumption and waste inside
00:54buildings.
00:56You all know, and you hear it perhaps every day inside, in the radio, increased pollution, rising of energy costs,
01:07energy transition, legislation.
01:11But we want to bring this a bit closer to you, and let's focus on the spaces that we spend
01:18most of our daily lives in, which is inside buildings, like this one, for example.
01:25Buildings are responsible for 35% of the energy consumption globally, and if you think about this and translate that
01:35into CO2 emissions, there are around about 40% of CO2 emissions is attributable to buildings.
01:46And our HVAC, so heating, so heating, so heating, and air conditioning solution can be retrofitted.
01:56It is an intelligent layer that optimizes comfort, but also energy consumption.
02:03We're an international team made up of now over 50 experts.
02:09We're not so small anymore, but not yet very, very big.
02:14And our headquarters is based in Italy, but we also have now a local branch in France.
02:23We can achieve, obviously, a reduction of CO2 emissions, and can make sure that 90% of the time that
02:33you spend inside buildings is you spend in comfort.
02:38So if you feel a heavy ventilation in this space, you can think of a brain being able to make
02:46you more comfortable.
02:47I think every one of us has been spending days in the office or also at home, just not feeling
02:53very comfortable.
02:55When you feel tired, for example, it might be because you partied too hard last night, but most of the
03:03time it's CO2 levels rising throughout the day.
03:08And this is what we can monitor and control and optimize.
03:15We partner with our clients.
03:18In Michelin, for example, we have reduced their energy consumption heavily by subdividing the plant into different thermal zones, implementing
03:32our monitoring system, and also visualizing and customizing a dashboard for them.
03:42And just visualizing sometimes where energy is being used can quite easily and quickly have an effect of and basing
03:50your actions on and reducing energy consumption.
03:54It's much easier than you might think, actually.
03:58And we achieved results by improving indoor comfort, which also in industrial plants is very important for the workforce.
04:0840% of energy savings and a reduction of CO2 emissions equivalent to a thousand tons of the annual CO2
04:22emission.
04:24To put that into perspective, it's around about 30 trees that you need to offset one ton of CO2.
04:34So if you translate that, you can do the math.
04:36It's 40,000 trees around about that you need to offset CO2 reductions in that way.
04:44Our solution does that over the course of our lifetime.
04:50How do we do it?
04:52You see our sensors here.
04:54They measure relative humidity, temperature, and CO2.
04:59We also do it here.
05:01We are at the stand just over there to the left.
05:05We've been monitoring CO2 levels over here, for example.
05:08And they're rising.
05:09There's loads of people here.
05:11And you can really feel the effect in the afternoon.
05:14You're getting tired.
05:16Your attention levels fall.
05:20And over the time of the day, it's having a real impact on you.
05:26These data get sent to the cloud and we can control the heating and ventilation.
05:31All of this is visualized via our web app.
05:36We then install relatively easily inside those plants.
05:44Again, here are some of our products.
05:47We measure the environmental, so the temperature and CO2.
05:54But we also measure electricity.
05:56So a majority of your energy bill will be captured.
06:02And this is one of our controllers that then controls via intelligent commands from the cloud.
06:09The web app itself is a very user-friendly web app, which in this sector is not so common
06:17because you have to deal with sometimes very clunky building management systems.
06:22We're also installing in one of the biggest hospital groups here in Paris.
06:29CHU, University Hospital Group.
06:32Because the effect on good air quality has an effect on patient stay in hospitals.
06:39And we installed in 89 buildings within three weeks, within four weeks, our solution.
06:46just to show you the velocity and the relative ease of installation and in industry.
06:55And so our clients choose us mainly because they want to improve indoor comfort.
07:03They want to do something concretely towards a net zero.
07:08And energy efficiency goals become stricter and more challenging every day.
07:15CO2 reduction goals as well.
07:17And so can also position themselves in an ESG environment.
07:24Thank you very much.
07:25I would be happy to have any questions.
07:30Thank you.
07:31Thank you.
07:31Thank you.
07:32Thank you for your presentation.
07:33All right.
07:33So I'll kick off the first question.
07:38So this has already been tested in Turin.
07:41Is that right?
07:41This is where you're based?
07:42Yes.
07:43It's Turin-based.
07:44Okay.
07:44But we're also across France in ten buildings now.
07:50Oh, really?
07:50In Paris?
07:51Yes.
07:52In the hospital group, University Hospital Group, St. Anne.
07:56Okay.
07:57GHU.
07:58Okay, fine.
07:59So it's already being used in the French network.
08:05And so does this connect easily to the existing network?
08:12I mean, what I mean to say, is it easy to install?
08:15Yes.
08:15Or does it cost, for example, the end customer to install it?
08:19Or is it something that the energy company can supply?
08:23We work together with energy companies also.
08:26Yeah.
08:27But the sensor itself is wireless.
08:29And it's a plug-and-play solution in that respect.
08:33Because it's self-calibrated and you just stick it on the wall.
08:38Okay.
08:38With a self-adhesive.
08:40That's the environmental sensor.
08:42The actual controllers on the central heating stations, for example, are easily installed by electricians.
08:50And it's a basic operation.
08:53It doesn't interrupt our ongoing operation either.
08:57Okay.
08:57So it works for industries, but it also works for individuals in their homes.
09:02So, for example, me in my home, I could get this installed?
09:05You could get the sensor.
09:06We're not an actual smart home application.
09:09We're focusing more on the B2B side.
09:11So it's really B2B.
09:13Yes.
09:13So it's sort of a public buildings, industrial buildings.
09:15Yes.
09:16Just to be clear.
09:17All right.
09:17Any questions from the audience here?
09:20About this?
09:22Oh, yes.
09:23Very important stuff though.
09:28Yeah.
09:30Thank you for your presentation.
09:33I present myself.
09:35I am an MBA student in digital marketing here in Paris.
09:39And I'm really interested in environmental issues.
09:44And I would like to know if you could be open to ambassador program, because I want to contribute today
09:56in your project by, for example, looking for companies here in France that can be interested in your product and
10:04to represent your company in France.
10:09Thank you.
10:10Yes.
10:11Thank you.
10:11That's great.
10:11I mean, we're really always happy to hear that people actually want to actually actively do something because energy efficiency,
10:19up until a couple of months ago, perhaps, wasn't the most exciting topic for a lot of people.
10:28It's being in the news, but it's not very close by.
10:32And so it's something that people perceive to be perhaps a little bit, perhaps even boring.
10:39It's not a robot.
10:41It's not something cool that you can look at.
10:43And it has this perception that you have to restrict yourself.
10:46So I'm very happy to kind of follow up with people like you.
10:50And we're just over there at the stand at 40 and work together on a potential program.
10:58Yes, absolutely.
10:59Thanks.
11:00Yeah, no, absolutely.
11:00This is very important stuff.
11:02I mean, I can personally say that I have recently, as of a few weeks ago, completely canceled my gas.
11:09I have no more gas in my house.
11:12So that's a saving of more than 2,000 euros per year.
11:15In fact, yes.
11:16But I'm now relying basically on 70% electricity.
11:20And then I also have a wood burner.
11:22But the electricity, you know, so that's a big increase in my electricity use.
11:27So it's really a device that will help me to...
11:29And if you think about this, this is in a private context.
11:32But if you think that this is multiplied 10 hundred times more in industry,
11:38which are very energy heavy consumption,
11:42you can see that this kind of solution makes quite a difference.
11:46Absolutely.
11:47So you're saying it makes an economy of up to 40%.
11:48Is that right?
11:49Up to 20% on average.
11:51Okay, 20%.
11:52But in some cases, we can also achieve more.
11:55Okay, good.
11:56All right.
11:57Thank you.
11:57Any more questions from the audience on this very important topic?
12:02But like you said, it's maybe not as trendy as drones and robots, but...
12:06Exactly.
12:06You know.
12:08Hello, guys.
12:09We all need to save money with energy.
12:14That's fine.
12:15Okay, we'll leave it there.
12:16All right.
12:16Okay.
12:17Thank you very much.
12:19And a brain, ladies and gentlemen.
12:21It's fine.
12:22You can leave it there.
12:22It's fine.
12:23I'll see you in the same approach.
12:23Bye.
