Elemental Power specialises in developing digital twins for local energy systems, a technology that combines technical and economic modelling to simulate and optimise energy usage in non-domestic settings.

As part of the ALCHEMAI project, Simon Le Blond shares how Elemental Power is collaborating with other partners like Holosphere, which focuses on immersive visualisations, to build a digital twin that presents actionable data to users in engaging and accessible ways.

The core objective is to help stakeholders, such as local authorities, plan and execute retrofitting projects for sustainable energy while balancing factors like operational carbon emissions, costs, and the feasibility of implementation.

Elemental Power Technical Director Dr Simon Le Blond guests on Mike Glanville, Executive Coaching podcast. Simon talks to Mike about how his personal story interweaves with Elemental Power, covering wide ranging topics of faith, music, entrepreneurship, net-zero, digital twins… and even touches on building automation when the room lights unexpectantly turn off at 21:21 !

There are currently two million non-domestic buildings in the UK. These are responsible for 9% of carbon emissions according to government figures. It is estimated that 80% of the buildings we have now will still exist in 2050. This paints a clear picture that there is a need for retrofit interventions to improve the energy efficiency and integrity of non-domestic buildings.
