Clive AI – AI Powered Alerts
Clive is BraveGen’s intelligent anomaly detection engine, scanning over 20 million utility data points daily to identify usage anomalies in electricity, gas, and water across your sites. Built with advanced machine learning and verified with human-in-the-loop expert review, Clive ensures you’re only alerted when it matters most. It flags issues before they escalate by detecting patterns such as:
- Sudden Spikes or Drops: Identify unexpected surges or dips from leaks or faults.
- Baseload or Peak Load Shifts: Reveal inefficiencies or unauthorised consumption.
- Increasing/Decreasing Trends: Detect performance drift over time.
- Unexpected Zero Usage: Catch outages or offline equipment.
- Emerging Patterns at Odd Hours: Highlight anomalies in scheduling or behavior.
- Abnormal Weekend or Holiday Usage: Signal automation failures or misconfigured systems.
- Rapid Fluctuations: Uncover erratic cycling or potential control faults. Every alert is scored, filtered, and reviewed – so you only get meaningful, actionable insights.
What this means for our customers.
- Focus On What Matters: With Clive AI, you only see alerts that need action with the noise filtered out so you can address issues quickly and get to work on your priority work.
- Find Issues Early: Early detection and action means that issues are resolved in days rather than weeks or months delivering ongoing cost savings and helping to maintain or improve key building ratings and lower emissions.

What’s the first step to improving my building’s rating or efficiency?
The first step is measurement. You need to know where and when energy, water, and other resources are being used so you can prioritise areas for improvement and track the impact of changes.
