Risk Reduction Savings

Quantifying the Value of Risk Reduction with measurable.energy

Fire Risk in Commercial Buildings

  • £650,000 – Average cost to a business from a single commercial building fire
    (UK Fire Protection Association)

  • £1,200/year – Average insurance premium to cover that risk

  • 40% of commercial building fires are caused by plug sockets, plug-in appliances, and leads
    (UK Government Statistics)


Typical UK Commercial Building

  • 3,000 sq ft average size

  • 40 plug sockets per building

  • £20.16/year per socket – Subscription cost of our smart monitoring solution

  • £806.40/year per building (40 × £20.16)


Tangible Risk Reduction

Our sockets monitor and mitigate the most common cause of fires. Here’s how the value stacks up:

  • Risk exposure from sockets = 40% of £650,000 = £260,000

  • measurable.energy targets that specific £260,000 risk source

  • Even a 0.31% reduction in socket-related fire risk offsets the full £806.40 cost:

    • £260,000 × 0.31% = £806
