Do you only work on certifications?
No. Metering helps you save, control your systems, allocate costs and report. Certifications such as BREEAM are just one of its uses.
Are you BREEAM assessors?
No. The assessor sets the project’s metering requirements. We propose the technical solution, carry it out and give the assessor the information they need for their documentation.
Do you work in buildings that are already in use?
Yes. We install sub-metering in existing buildings and, where possible, integrate the meters that are already there.
Is the app the same for everyone?
No. We tailor each app to how each site is used and what it needs, together with its maintenance teams and owners: which equipment is shown, which schematics, which alerts and what can be controlled.
Who sees the data for each home?
In residential buildings, the detailed consumption of each home is for its resident, who sees it in their app. The owner works with the data for the building and the common areas and, where costs are allocated, only with each home’s total for each billing period.
Can you control the equipment as well?
Yes. We integrate actuators such as valves, pumps, relays or HVAC controls, and they are controlled from the platform: manually or with automatic rules based on time, temperature or consumption.
Which meters and protocols do you integrate?
Any installed meter that communicates over RS-485 (Modbus RTU) or M-Bus. We also work with LoRaWAN, using meters we install ourselves, and with Modbus TCP, BACnet, MQTT and KNX. We usually install Lobato electricity meters, Conthidra water and thermal energy meters, and Sontex 739 heat and cooling meters. You will find the details on the Integration page (in Spanish).
Do you need to stop production to install?
It depends on the site. We normally do the work during a scheduled shutdown.
What do you need from us?
Access to the distribution boards and plant rooms, and a contact person.
Can we start with just one part?
Yes. You can run a pilot on part of the site before covering all of it. We decide this with you, based on what you need.
How much does it cost, and what maintenance does it need?
It depends on what needs to be metered and on what you need. After the visit, we send you a proposal with a quote. Maintenance comes under a separate contract, tailored to each site.
Can I use the data in my own reporting?
Yes. The data can be exported or sent by API to your systems and applications, for whatever reporting you need.
