Smart metering and Sub-Metering
Sustainability and digitalisation go hand in hand. In the field of metering, digitalisation means not only that one no longer has to be physically on site to read meters by hand but, even more significantly, that detailed energy consumption data can be instantly measured, recorded and automatically transferred to a central database, so that consumption and costs can be optimised. Resources are conserved, and costs are reduced.
Metering in the ESG context
Pushing forward with our society’s energy transition not only means achieving climate neutrality in our energy production: it also means creating new infrastructure to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. It means that we need to move beyond yesterday’s analogue systems, which are error-prone and outdated, to a new generation of digital systems for energy management that combine remote readability with intelligence. And this is where smart metering comes into play.
Because metering today is about more than just measuring. It’s about bringing together different networks, different energy sources, and actual consumption data, thereby enabling energy consumption and costs to be optimised. For the benefit of the environment – and your wallet.
Making the energy transition measurable
Already today, smart metering technology is making an important contribution to the energy transition, and consistent and pervasive digitalisation is an essential tool to achieve our climate targets. Smart metering means not only unprecedented transparency but also practical relevance because it untaps new opportunities for improvement.
In achieving climate neutrality, there’s no doubt that the massive shift towards renewable energy sources is playing an increasingly important role. That being said, the shift towards renewable energy generation, such as photovoltaic and wind, is creating new requirements for efficient and reliable grid operation. We can ensure that you’re ready for these new and emerging needs, putting the digital infrastructure into place which will benefit you, and the value of your properties, long into the future.
Data transparency: From yesterday and today to tomorrow
You can only optimise if you have good data. To optimise your energy consumption and costs, this means that we examine your present and past consumption data for you in order to tell you what you really want to how: how to optimize your future consumption and costs. Optimisation which is transparent, verifiable and easy-to-grasp.
Automated digital metering with big advantages
Modern digital metering means that energy consumption data is automatically, securely and directly transmitted to the energy management service provider. Nobody has to come to read the meters, so there’s no third-party provider, and thus data sovereignty remains 100% between you and us. And needless to say, no more manual meter reading saves money right now. Digital metering means better and more secure data with unmatched convenience – and at a lower cost.
One energy and utilities management system for everything
Electricity, gas, water, heat: We can directly manage and optimise all of these for you through digital metering, providing a comprehensive, at-a-glance overview of your property’s consumption and costs. Smart metering directly saves time and money, it’s convenient, and most importantly, it enables reduced consumption, greater energy efficiency, lower costs, and transparency in meeting your carbon targets.
Mastering the transition to renewable green energy
Wind and solar power are clean and abundant, but the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. Nevertheless, we all expect electricity to be available whenever and wherever we want it. Smart metering systems make it possible to optimally match consumption against generation, thus making best use of each source.
The power of smart metering goes beyond climate protection
Smart metering combined with smart central data management means that your data and dashboards are available anytime and anywhere – from your PC, your tablet, or your smartphone. And what’s more, automated alarms can be set to alert you to problems at the earliest possible stage. The road to climate protection can be paved with many other benefits.
Real-time data means that you can make decisions in real time, regardless of where you are
Digital metering means that consumption data can be measured, transmitted and centrally analysed at any time and all the time, using cloud-connected hardware and smart software so that everything “talks” with each other. This means that you can monitor what’s happening in real time, even if you’re far away from your properties.
