Company

is the creator of revolutionary technologies aimed at helping people reduce and manage their energy consumption. Faced with rising energy bills and increasing environmental pressures, consumers are keener than ever to reduce the amount of energy that they consume. However, whilst we can all follow simple rules such as turning off lights and not leaving the TV on standby, the reality is that most people do not have a clear understanding of their energy usage. ISE’s technology changes that by giving you fully itemised energy bills just like the itemised phone bill that you get from your phone company.

The core technology behind ISE’s solution was developed by Jim Donaldson and Malcolm McCulloch in the Department of Engineering Science, Oxford University. The company was spun-out in 2008 in collaboration with Navetas Energy
ISE’s technlogy helps consumers understand where they are using the most energy.
