About us.

Dr. Alex and Dr. Matt met at Oxford and Imperial University where Alex was using quantum metamaterials, and Matt was delving into the world of quantum computers. They combined their critical thinking, scientific skills and passion for the universe, to change how we use and think about light particles & energy forces. It was this germ of an idea that led to the creation of LightFi in 2016. The team has since expanded to include talented hardware & software engineers and sustainability champions, focusing on all things energy efficiency.

Our Mission.

We want to deploy Demand Control Ventilation in 100,000 commercial buildings globally, to reduce carbon emissions from the real estate industry. Our sensors will form the smart building's central nervous system, getting information from where it is most important to where it can deliver the most value. These are the building blocks of smarter functionality, enabling commercial spaces to achieve energy savings and a more healthy indoor environment, through human-centric data.

Our Values.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do

A LightFi sensor installed in a building can save as much carbon emissions as planting 500 trees. We try to manufacture many of our products domestically to reduce our carbon footprint and to ensure the lifecycle of our hardware is at least 10+ years. We believe both hardware and software solutions are necessary to achieve tangible solutions with a measurable impact for the commercial real estate industry.

Our impact.

By adjusting enerGy usage to real time occupancy data, LightFi allows big savings for you and the planet.

Up to 25% on energy savings each year as well as savings of up to 150 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year for a 10,000 m2 building – equivalent to 10,000 trees plantedBy using our solutions, energy savings will allow a complete return on investment in 9 to 24 months.

Our INNOVATION

Our IoT sensors can be installed in a building that has mechanical ventilation, in order to first monitor and then inform the design of a new HVAC strategy. We redesign a strategy that responds to live occupancy levels and ensures energy is being utilised only when a space is being occupied.
