Requirements
The energy management is an important part of the communal building management. Communities often have a large and various portfolios of buildings. This ranges from schools, office buildings to hospitals, swimming pools and theaters.
Each building must be individually considered, energetically optimized and possibly restored. Optimal is a cross-presentation of different real estates with the corresponding benchmark in the energy management software, and with the possibility for direct comparison of the objects. Daily, monthly and annual values in the form of charts and continuous duration curves are needed to create sustainable energy efficiency in public buildings.
Objectives
Through the use of an energy management system, it is possible to present the data in a transparent manner and based on these data to perform appropriate energy savings. Of course, the convenience can not fade into the background, f.e. room temperature and air quality should not deteriorate.
The use of an energy management system provides not only the communities the opportunity to drastically reduce their energy costs, but also shows the public the environmentally conscious use of resources.
Energy consumption values can be presented to the public in the form of consumption-based energy reports and energy performance certificates.
Implementation with meterKiT
All energy-related data of the various properties are transferred on on a modern communication technology to the meterKiT Data Center and stored there for the further processing in a central and powerful database. The meterKiT Data Center can be either installed at the customer site or provided from us as a hosted service (meterKiT SaaS).
The collection of the energy data is based on the in building installed multi-protocol data collector (meterKiT Box) or by flexible software interfaces (meterKiT Connector).
The view for the analysis on the web-based front end provides an overview of the energy balance of properties and processes. The possible views are fully configurable and multi-client capable. Alarms and limit violations can be promptly processed in a central service organization.
Trough the integrated Web server on the meterKiT Box you can directly or via scheduler optimize the connected processes.
The solution is fully scalable and permits the continuous expansion and installation of further objects and clients if requirred.
Many options such as the definition of own key figures, automated energy reports, benchmarks and their moni-toring are possible, based on a freely programmable algebra in the meterKiT Data Center.
