Startup Stories - Avril Dunn (EI Platform)

Avril Dunn is the Co-founder of EI Platform. Electricity, and the way we use it in our society is extremely complicated. Energy prices are going up and demand is only increasing as we’re adding new devices such as Electric Vehicles… and their charging requirements into the mix.
All of this on ageing infrastructure presents a significant challenge for businesses and property managers. Not to mention that business energy billing structures are far more confusing than that of their residential counterparts. If our organisations and institutions can’t solve this problem then the next 5-10 years are going to be pretty rocky. So how can businesses and property managers make sense of all of this? And optimise the building’s energy usage to best manage the costs of this ever changing landscape?
Imagine if a building could not only tell you how it uses energy in real-time, but also control and predict future usage and costs... That's the power of this energy intelligence platform. The ei platform consists of a hardware device, (it’s like an apple watch or wearable device for the building), coupled with AI-driven software, to not only reveal the true cost of your energy usage but also control demand in real time. Now businesses and property managers have the data they need and the mechanisms to effect change from the palm of their hands.
