Celebrating Burns Night and Edinburgh’s smart building landscape 

Monday 26 January 2026

As Scotland gathers to honour the life and legacy of Rabbie Burns, it feels like the perfect opportunity to celebrate the spirit of innovation, community and progress that defines modern Scotland. Principles that we at Tyrrell Analytics work tirelessly to deliver. Burns Night is a celebration of culture and national pride, and this year, we’re marking the occasion by highlighting our expanding presence in Edinburgh and the transformative building analytics projects shaping the city’s future. 

Smart buildings for Edinburgh 

Edinburgh is a city where heritage and innovation sit side by side. As demand grows for intelligent and energy‑efficient buildings, Tyrrell Analytics is playing a pivotal role in helping developers, building owners and facilities teams unlock their full potential. 

Our work in the Scottish capital continues to accelerate, with organisations increasingly turning to insights driven by data to improve building performance, reduce energy consumption and enhance occupant comfort. 
 
From advanced BMS integrations to real‑time analytics dashboards, our solutions empower clients to make informed decisions that support sustainability targets and operational efficiency. 

One of the standout examples of this commitment is our involvement in the development of two new seven‑storey office buildings in Edinburgh, a flagship project that demonstrates smart building technology in modern commercial spaces. 

A flagship case study 

This major development represents a significant milestone for both the city and Tyrrell Analytics. Working alongside Tyrrell Systems, Tyrrell Analytics delivered a comprehensive analytics solution to optimise building performance. 

The project organised and analysed the data to transform the way buildings are monitored, managed and maintained. 

Our analytics platform provides: 

  • Real‑time visibility into building systems and energy usage 
  • Predictive insights that help identify inefficiencies before they become costly issues 
  • Automated reporting to support compliance and sustainability goals 
  • User‑friendly dashboards so facilities teams can make data‑driven decisions 

By integrating with the building management system, these new office spaces operate at peak efficiency while delivering a comfortable, productive environment for occupants.

Edinburgh’s ambitions 

Edinburgh has set ambitious sustainability targets, including a commitment to becoming a net‑zero city by 2030. Achieving this requires smarter, more efficient buildings and that’s where building analytics becomes essential. 

Tyrrell Analytics supports these goals by helping organisations: 

  • Reduce energy waste 
  • Improve HVAC performance 
  • Extend equipment lifespan 
  • Lower operational costs 
  • Track and report carbon reduction progress 

Our work aligns closely with the city’s vision for greener, more resilient infrastructure. By equipping buildings with the tools to self‑monitor, self‑optimise, and adapt to changing conditions, we’re helping Edinburgh move closer to a sustainable future. 

A modern approach 

Burns Night is a reminder of Scotland’s commitment to creativity, resilience and forward thinking. These same qualities inspire our approach to building analytics. We aim to push boundaries in how buildings operate and how data can be used to improve the spaces people rely on every day. 

Our growing portfolio of projects in Edinburgh reflects a long‑term commitment to supporting the city’s development. Whether we’re working on large‑scale commercial buildings, public sector facilities, or mixed‑use developments, our focus remains the same: delivering intelligent, actionable insights that drive better outcomes. 

Looking ahead 

As we celebrate Burns Night, we’re proud of the part Tyrrell Analytics continues to play in shaping Edinburgh’s built environment. 

We look forward to deepening our partnerships across Scotland, supporting more organisations on their journey toward smarter, more sustainable buildings and continuing to deliver solutions that make a measurable difference. 

To all our clients, partners and colleagues across Edinburgh and beyond, enjoy Burns Night!
