Public estates. Public scrutiny. Audit-ready.

Government and public-sector estates carry obligations most private operators do not - public reporting, freedom-of-information disclosure, procurement-framework rules, and political accountability. They also tend to span every asset class under one owner: schools, hospitals, council offices, courts, depots, defence - all of which have to report consistently against the same net-zero trajectory.

Wia is built for public-sector deployment. GDPR-by-default, EU-resident data, and audit lineage that survives external scrutiny. The retrofit-first model fits the maintenance-deferred reality of most public stock - installs happen around teaching, opening hours and political timing, not the other way around. And the same data layer publishes the open-data feeds the public expects.

How public-sector rollout works

Three steps. Procurement-clean.

01 - Onboard against your procurement reality
Whether your buyer goes via a national framework, a direct-award route, or a one-off statement of work, the call-off paperwork is shaped around what your team already files. Information-security and data-protection reviews are completed up front so they do not get re-litigated per deployment.

02 - Install around operations
Schools during holidays, hospitals during planned maintenance windows, courts and council offices out of hours. Heritage and listed buildings handled with non-invasive retrofit. No teaching cancelled, no patients diverted.

03 - Publish, report, defend
Net-zero pathway reports, grant-funding evidence packs, freedom-of-information responses and internal board updates all come from the same dataset. Lineage from every published number back to the meter that produced it, audit-defensible by default.

Inside Government & public sector

Everything Government & public sector brings, in one place.

Net Zero baselines per asset

Every asset gets a baseline year and a trajectory against the owner's Net Zero pathway. The dashboard shows the gap-to-target per asset and per sub-portfolio (academy trust, NHS trust, council directorate) so the team works on the assets that move the line.

Grant-funding evidence packs

Whether the application is to a net-zero public funding scheme, a local-authority climate fund, or an internal capital-allocation review, Wia produces the baseline reporting, kWh and tCO₂e abatement evidence, and project-level attribution the application needs. The evidence pack drops out of the same dataset that runs the operations.

Heritage-safe install

Many public assets are listed or heritage-protected. The retrofit hardware is non-invasive - clamps and pulse readers on the meter, no drilling into fabric, no visible install. Where a listed-building consent is required, the conversation is unusually short.

Operational-window aware

Schools install during half-term, hospitals during planned maintenance windows, courts out of session. Wia plans rollout against the calendar of the building, not the calendar of the project manager. Tenants, patients, staff - uninterrupted.

Critical-load awareness

In hospitals and defence sites, some loads cannot share infrastructure with general monitoring. Wia keeps critical-load circuits visible without touching them - read-only, isolated, with a separation that survives an information-security review.

Open-data publishing

Where the obligation exists (or the political case calls for it), Wia publishes anonymised, building-level consumption to a public open-data feed. The same data that runs the operations becomes the evidence the public sees.

Lineage

Every published number traces back to a meter.

Public reporting demands a chain of custody that private reporting often skips. Wia keeps that chain on by default: the meter reading, the conversion factor, the period, the tariff, the rollup logic - every step recorded and queryable. When a parliamentary question or FOI request arrives, the answer is one click, not a fortnight of spreadsheet archaeology.

FAQ

How do you handle classified estates?

For defence and other classified estates, Wia deploys with critical loads kept entirely read-only and isolated from the rest of the platform. Data residency, security posture and physical install handling are agreed up front in the contract, not re-litigated per site.

What about heritage or listed buildings?

The retrofit is non-invasive by design - clamps and pulse readers on the meter, no drilling, no visible install. Where listed-building consent is required, our install spec is usually enough on its own. We've never had a heritage estate refuse install on the basis of physical impact.

Can we expose the data publicly?

Yes - anonymised, building-level consumption can be published to a public open-data feed via our API. Most public-sector owners use this to get ahead of FOI volume rather than wait for individual requests. The published data is the same data running the operations, so it survives scrutiny.
