Behind the Tech: Jake Langford discusses Smart Datastream
What insights does Smart Datastream provide?
Smart Datastream provides actual energy consumption data, eliminating the need for estimates, best guesses, or ‘probables’. Our tech can show the impact of behavioural changes on a property, the effects of upgrading the building’s fabric on consumption, and how weather variations influence energy demand. If you are interested in understanding your energy consumption and, more importantly, in making changes to reduce it, Smart Datastream is a crucial tool in your armoury.
How does Smart Datastream handle large-scale data processing?
Smart Datastream was built for scale from the outset. Working alongside our proven Intelligent Data Adapter, which can handle the most demanding workloads; Pay As You Go customers and Distribution Network Operators recovering from storm events. I’d go into the technologies involved, but it’s safe to say we’re fast and reliable from the outset.
Smart Datastream simplifies the process of collecting and managing data, but what impact does this have?
At a glance, dashboards; at a push, updates of your data and actionable insights on how to improve performance so energy consumption is reduced. We’ll help you reduce consumption, prepare your buildings for the latest government regulations, ensure landlords know their properties are ready for tenants, and make sure your improvement budget is laser-focused on where to spend money for the biggest impact.
What steps are involved to integrate Smart Datastream with cloud-based services or existing IT infrastructure?
We’re API-first, and the entire Smart Datastream ecosystem is built in the cloud, for the cloud, and with an eye on high-demand customers. We’re ready for you now.
How do Procode ensure Smart Datastream is compliant with industry-specific data standards and regulations?
Consent is key for all consumption data. We’ve developed a bespoke tool that handles all the Smart Energy Code Administrator and Secretariat (SECAS) requirements for proving you have consent and handling what happens around these processes. The Intelligent Data Adapter underpins our product, and that’s an industry-leading solution built to meet the most demanding customer requirements. We respect the data, enshrining the spirit of GDPR – not just the letter of the law.
