Smart Metering.
Smart metering.
Intelligent metering systems represent the basis for the digitisation of consumption data acquisition, which is something from which investors and tenants both stand to benefit.
In the context of the energy transition, it plays an important role in recognising energy efficiency potential. Data are indispensable here. But merely collecting data is not enough in and of itself. Unless you know exactly when, where and why a building consumes a certain amount of energy, many energy saving measures will remain ineffective. The quality and transparency of the consumption data of buildings are therefore decisive for a forward-looking control of the resource consumption.
Property owners who are well informed about the workflows in their buildings have an easier time identifying savings potential, exploiting them and cutting carbon emissions.

Best Practice for the HIH Portfolio
At the moment, we are equipping around 130 properties with smart meters for heating and electricity. This will lay the ground for the aggregation of consumption data on the portfolio level. Based on these data, you can derive concrete optimisation measures for each property and do so in the context of the respective ESG strategy.
Creating Transparency, Enhancing Efficiency
In connection with the energy transition and the sustainability in the building sector, smart meters play a key role. This system consists of digital meters for electricity, heating or water, electronically capturing the energy or material flows and saving them.
A central component is the smart meter gateway, a communication unit that uploads the data to a cloud. This permits remote data readouts every 15 minutes, and thus eliminates the need for manual meter readings. It saves time and costs in the data aggregation process.
Smart meters therefore enhance both the transparency and efficiency in energy management, which is of key importance for energy saving measures and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

“The consumption data acquisition via smart meters not only enhances the building efficiency but also contributes significantly to the property’s value preservation by facilitating an efficient energy management and cost savings that owners and tenants equally appreciate.”
