From Minutes to Microseconds
DIREK has announced a groundbreaking integration partnership with climate-tech leader Verv, bringing ultra-high-frequency energy monitoring to the DIREK platform for the first time. The collaboration aims to transform how building managers monitor, optimise, and maintain energy-intensive HVAC systems, unlocking new opportunities for cost savings and sustainability. While most building management systems (BMS) capture energy data at 15–30 minute intervals, Verv’s technology measures energy usage every 0.0001 seconds, providing an unparalleled level of detail. This granularity enables the DIREK platform to deliver smarter, more precise recommendations, helping facility teams move beyond reactive maintenance and into truly predictive energy management.Tackling the Hidden Cost of HVAC Inefficiency
HVAC systems are among the biggest energy consumers in commercial properties. Without granular data, inefficiencies often go unnoticed, resulting in wasted energy and inflated operational costs. Through this integration, DIREK customers can now:- Access real-time, high-frequency energy data from Verv
- Pinpoint inefficiencies in HVAC performance instantly
- Receive smart recommendations for optimisation and predictive maintenance
- Reduce both energy costs and carbon footprint
First Deployment with Wates Group
The first organisation to benefit from the integration will be Wates Group, a leading UK construction and property services company. The solution will be rolled out at its flagship Leatherhead office as part of its commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency. Both DIREK and Verv are members of the Wates Group Innovation Programme, positioning them at the forefront of smart building innovation in the UK. Amir Taba, CEO at DIREK, said: “Our goal at DIREK is to simplify energy management for building operators. This partnership with Verv enables us to offer an even smarter solution, providing precise data that drives actionable insights, reducing energy waste and costs for our customers.”A Step Towards a Smarter, Greener Built Environment
This integration underscores DIREK’s mission to empower facility managers with the insights they need to make smarter, more sustainable decisions. By combining Verv’s precision data with DIREK’s intelligent building management capabilities, the partnership sets a new benchmark for energy monitoring in commercial real estate.
