Every day, across the real estate landscape, operators are losing money they can’t see. Energy waste. Inefficient heating. Equipment running when no one’s there. These invisible inefficiencies are costing the sector billions every year — quietly eroding profits, ESG scores, and operational efficiency.

At The Class Conference 2025, Utopi’s Head of Marketing, Chanel Turner-Ross, invites you to lift the lid on what’s hiding in plain sight. In this 45-minute session, Utopi will showcase how granular, room-level data is transforming energy management, asset performance, and resident engagement — and why the operators who master it first will lead the industry into a new era of efficiency.

The Hidden Cost of Invisibility

Buildings account for 39% of all global energy-related carbon emissions. Yet, for most portfolios, visibility stops at the main meter. Operators know how much a building consumes — but not where, why, or when that energy is being wasted.

That’s the visibility gap Utopi is closing. Through over 32 billion data points gathered from 105,000 active devicesworldwide, Utopi’s platform exposes the hidden patterns that traditional systems can’t reach. Think of it as turning on the lights in a room that’s been dark for decades.

What the Data Reveals

In student and residential assets monitored by Utopi, the insights are striking:

· 28% of rooms overheated above 24°C.

· 76% of residents unaware of their temperature.

· 85% using windows to regulate heat.

Once operators and residents see the data, behaviour changes overnight. Some assets cut usage by 89% simply through visibility and engagement. The value of data isn’t in the numbers — it’s in the action those numbers inspire.

Why You Need to Be There

This isn’t just another session about sustainability targets. It’s a rare opportunity to see how the fastest-growing tech business in Scotland — and a top-20 UK innovator — is redefining operational intelligence for the built environment.

We’ll uncover some exciting new Utopi product launches, and how your assets could use these new innovations for FREE. Plus, learn how data uncovered a space using 1,200% more than the average energy consumption on site…

If you manage, invest in, or design residential assets, this is your chance to uncover the hidden opportunities that exist within your portfolio.

Because the truth is simple: You can’t optimise what you can’t see — and what’s hiding in plain sight could be your biggest competitive advantage.

Join Utopi at The Class Conference and see how data, done right, turns visibility into value. Nov 6th 11.45 – Community Stage.
