Municipal energy monitoring and DIMOP-based digitization

Public institutions, city assets, energy and tasks in a single, gradually expandable system.

Typical starting points

We fix the operational question before the technology.

01

Many institutions, different meters and bills

Institutional and portfolio-level energy overview

02

Manual data request and slow executive aggregation

Connecting measurement, account and building data

03

Difficult sustainability of tender developments

A deviation is a task, a responsible and measured result

What and where is it worth measuring?

Municipal energy supervision with comparable institutions

In a municipal portfolio, the school, kindergarten, doctor's office, sports facility and office operate with different operating hours and technical conditions. Collecting the invoices is only the first step: institutions must be made comparable according to floor space, opening hours, weather and function, otherwise the largest consumer is not necessarily the worst-performing building.

  • electricity, gas, heat and water meters in the institutional hierarchy
  • connection of invoice, contract, tariff and measurement point
  • floor area, opening hours, utilization and weather data
  • condition of boiler houses, solar systems and significant consumers
  • institutional managers, alerts and verified measures

Illustrative numerical example

Let's say that the annual gas consumption of two similar-sized schools is 180 and 145 kWh/m². This does not prove a mistake: one building may stay open longer, the demand for domestic hot water or the state of renovation may differ. In the pilot, in addition to the monthly invoices, daily measurements, outside temperature and operating time are added. In this way, for example, weekend heating or unnecessary nighttime basic consumption can be identified.

The example is not an offer, a promise of savings or a general compliance requirement; the final technical solution is determined by the on-site and process survey.

Decision, audit and operational context

A repeatable calculation, source identification and documented change management are required for applications and management reports. The system does not replace the energy expert or the examination of application compliance; it provides an organized database from which measures, investment priorities and follow-up can be checked.

How does that make an acceptable pilot?

For the introduction, an institutional portfolio map is prepared with measurement points, account relationships and responsible persons. We do not necessarily choose the largest building for the pilot, but a group of institutions where the rules of comparison and responsibility for measures can be tested. We record extraordinary opening hours, renovations and changes in function so that they do not automatically appear as losses. Part of the acceptance is a management portfolio view and an institutional work process: the deviation should be responsible, explained, acted upon and followed up. This can be used to create an authentic investment sequence, not just a consumption top list.

What does the pilot deliver?

  • institution-meter-contract map
  • normalized institutional comparison
  • closed energy deviation process
  • executive report sample
  • investment priority list

What is included in the first step?

In the first phase, the following two areas will be audited: electricity, gas, heat and water meters in the institutional hierarchy and the assignment of invoices, contracts, tariffs and metering points. Connecting all sites, devices and historical data at the same time is not the goal. First, we verify that a reliable decision and a work process that can be closed are made from the selected data. To finalize the scope, two questions are particularly important: Which institutions have daily or hourly measurement data? What management and application reports are actually needed? The answers determine the device count, integration task, local data storage, roles, and acceptance test.

Questions that we record on the survey

  • Which institutions have daily or hourly measurement data?
  • On what basis will the comparison of buildings be fair?
  • Who verifies the action taken after the alarm?
  • What management and application reports are actually needed?

The first step is not a complete system introduction.

During a short technical consultation, we select the measurement or operating point at which the value of the pilot can be checked.
