Reducing Carbon Emissions and Cutting Costs – the Heating Monitoring Pilot Project
Our digital heating monitoring project has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions and costs. The aim is to monitor these in real time and increase the efficiency of existing and new gas central heating systems. For this, we use the management and optimization tool of our partner othermo, which offers an innovative solution. It is based on an IoT gateway installed in the boiler room and a web portal coupled to it.
Modern heating systems can be optimized by enabling remote reading.
Digital heating monitoring systems provide environmental and economic advantages that benefit us as a company just as much as our tenants. Fuel savings benefit the tenants first and foremost, with associated reductions in heating costs. The company’s economic benefit is based on three pillars: 1. Reduced carbon tax and certificate costs due to lower emissions both for tenants and Vonovia, 2. No need for multiple visits from craftsmen, and 3. Improved tenant communication and information through real-time data on heating status.
Current:
Configuration of heating systems is often not optimally adapted to the individual conditions on site.
Multiple trips to identify and rectify faults, notification of faults by tenants.
Objective:
Remote, highly customized configuration of heating systems according to load patterns and building condition to improve system efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
Automatic notification of faults without tenant involvement and including detailed information on the cause, enabling the fault to be rectified promptly and in a targeted manner.
