Our First Spotlight: The ESG & Energy Sentinel Package

There is exciting news at DIREK. Our full range of smart building sensor packages is now available, bringing together easy installation, cellular connectivity and powerful analytics in one simple solution. Over the coming weeks, we will introduce each package in detail and show how they support different building goals, from ESG performance to occupancy insights and environmental quality.

To begin this series, we are starting with one of the most important packages for organisations with sustainability targets and energy efficiency objectives. This article focuses on the ESG & Energy Sentinel Package, a ready-to-deploy solution designed to help buildings track energy use, strengthen ESG reporting and improve environmental performance with minimal setup time.

A Complete, Ready-to-Deploy Kit

The ESG & Energy Sentinel Package is built around the idea of simplicity. Everything you need comes in one box and is pre-configured for immediate use. The system is designed to be deployable in under an hour, allowing teams to begin collecting insights almost immediately.

The package includes:

• Environmental sensors and monitoring devices
• Battery-powered hardware for flexible placement
• A SIM-connected gateway that works without WiFi
• No wiring, no IT requirements and no delays
• Twelve months of access to the D-XPERT® platform with full analytics and reporting
• A compliance-ready setup that supports standards such as WELL, Fitwel, BREEAM and NABERS

This combination creates a streamlined setup process that reduces the usual complexity of traditional monitoring solutions.

Why This Package Matters for ESG and Energy Goals

Many organisations today face increasing expectations around transparency, carbon reduction and responsible building operations. To meet these expectations, companies need high-quality data that is consistent, continuous and easy to interpret.

The ESG & Energy Sentinel Package enables this by providing real-time visibility into building performance. It helps organisations understand energy consumption patterns, environmental conditions and the factors that influence comfort and efficiency.

Supporting Environmental Metrics

The package monitors energy use and environmental conditions, giving teams the insights they need to reduce waste, improve performance and validate the impact of operational changes.

Supporting Social Metrics

Indoor environmental quality plays an important role in overall well-being. By tracking parameters such as temperature, humidity and air quality, the package helps ensure that building spaces remain safe, comfortable and healthy.

Supporting Governance Metrics

Reliable, automatically captured data forms the foundation of strong ESG reporting. The D-XPERT® platform makes this data easy to access, easy to interpret and easy to share with stakeholders.

Real Insights, Not Just Raw Data

With the ESG & Energy Sentinel Package, measurement is only the beginning. The real value comes from what D-XPERT® does with the data.

Through intuitive dashboards, analytics and automated insights, your team can quickly identify:

• Inefficient energy use
• Rooms that consistently fall outside comfort thresholds
• Early signs of ventilation or system issues
• Patterns that reveal unnecessary consumption
• Opportunities to optimise building schedules and operations

The result is a practical, action-oriented understanding of your building’s performance.

Fast Deployment for Busy Teams

Because the system is battery-powered and SIM-connected, installation avoids the common challenges associated with network approvals or wiring work. This makes it ideal for organisations that need a quick turnaround, want to run pilots or prefer low-disruption rollouts across multiple floors or buildings.

Teams can simply place the sensors, power up the gateway and start viewing data through D-XPERT® in less than an hour.
