Carbon Architecture - InMetriks

Turning data into decisions: Inside the InMetriks webinar

The world of estate management is awash with data but turning that data into meaningful action is a challenge many organisations still struggle with. That's exactly the gap that InMetriks, the flagship software from Carbon Architecture, is designed to close.

In a packed and engaging lunchtime webinar hosted by Keri Barton, Sales and Marketing Director at Bellrock Technologies, attendees were introduced to the power of InMetriks, a sophisticated analytics engine built to optimise energy usage, streamline estate performance, and deliver measurable carbon and cost savings.

Joining Keri were:

• Will Todd, Managing Director and Founder of Carbon Architecture

• John Taylor, Head of Analytics and Integration, Carbon Architecture

Together, they delivered a live walkthrough of InMetriks, shared real-world use cases, and explored the benefits of integrating the platform with Concerto, Bellrock's award-winning IWMS solution.

Why InMetriks?

Will opened the session by explaining the ethos behind InMetriks:

“Buildings are inherently wasteful. The goal is to eliminate inefficiency using both technology and real-world engineering experience.”

Carbon Architecture has spent over 15 years helping public and private sector clients reduce energy waste. InMetriks evolved as a natural extension of that mission, combining data collection, smart analytics, and consultancy expertise into one powerful tool.

What does InMetriks do?

InMetriks works by continuously monitoring and analysing building systems to:

• Identify energy waste and inefficiencies

• Detect faults in real-time

• Track compliance (e.g. water temps, airflow)

• Provide actionable insights on building performance

With ROI often seen in under 12 months, Will and John emphasized that InMetriks isn't just a dashboard, it's a full feedback loop that ties insight directly to action.

The integration with Concerto

A standout moment of the session was the live demo showing how InMetriks and Concerto work seamlessly together.

For example:

• InMetriks detects a fault (e.g. overheating, a failed fan, or water leak)

• It raises a “spark”: an alert flagging abnormal behaviour

• This spark can be automatically or manually converted into a Concerto job ticket

• Engineers can access historical data, diagnose issues remotely and complete tasks, all tracked in real time across both systems

This integration:

• Enhances first-time fix rates

• Reduces manual data transfer and delay

• Bridges operational silos between energy, estates, and facilities teams

   

“It's about workflow,” said John. “We're not just flagging issues. We're helping you resolve them faster and more intelligently.”

Where savings are found

Audience polls and case studies reinforced that major savings often stem from:

• Over-conditioning (heating or cooling buildings unnecessarily)

• Poor scheduling (equipment running when it's not needed)

• Equipment cycling (like chillers toggling on/off inefficiently)

• Undetected leaks or faulty sensors

In one live example, InMetriks helped identify a water leak that had gone unnoticed for a month, saving the client over £40,000 within days of deployment.

Another case revealed heating overshooting setpoints in mild weather, driving up consumption significantly. These hidden inefficiencies, repeated across an estate, add up fast.

Security and scalability

In response to questions, Will reassured attendees that InMetriks is:

• Cloud-hosted on AWS

• Penetration tested and compliant with NHS and public sector security standards

• System-agnostic, working with any BMS (including Schneider, Trend, Siemens, etc.)

It's also scalable across estate portfolios, from simple retail units to complex NHS trusts and universities. The system adapts to each organisation's resources and goals.

Why it works

What sets InMetriks apart? According to the team, it's their consultancy-first approach:

“We're not just software vendors. We're engineers. We come in, find the biggest savings, and work alongside your team to deliver results,” Will explained.

Keri echoed the sentiment, highlighting that Brock Technologies is focused on practical, measurable solutions, not just digital transformation for its own sake.

Final thoughts

In a sector under pressure to cut costs, reduce carbon, and improve compliance, InMetriks offers a practical path forward.

It's not just about monitoring it's about doing.

If you're grappling with overloaded data, underperforming assets, or stalled net zero strategies, the integration of InMetriks with Concerto could be the key to finally closing the gap between insight and action.
