What is IMD measurement?

It means that each household or unit within a property is measured separately, making it possible to charge each user based on their actual consumption. This usually applies to electricity, cold and hot water, and sometimes heating. By connecting meters to each unit, you get a transparent and accurate picture of energy consumption. Individual measurement and billing is an effective solution for measuring and allocating costs for electricity, water, and hot water based on actual usage. For property owners, housing cooperatives, and new construction projects, it is a powerful tool to create fair and energy-efficient living environments. With PiiGAB’s solutions, a secure and legally compliant installation is ensured.

How does IMD work?

It is based on a network of meters connected to a collection system. Data from each individual apartment is sent to a gateway, where it is compiled and exported to billing systems to ultimately invoice the apartment occupant. Here, PiiGAB offers reliable IMD measurement systems supporting protocols such as M-Bus and wireless M-Bus, making the installation both flexible and scalable.

Examples of components:

• Meters for electricity, cold water, and hot water
• Gateways that handle M-Bus and wireless M-Bus as well as LoRa
• Complete infrastructure for wireless systems, such as repeaters, antennas, and cabling

Charge fairly with PiiGAB

With PiiGAB’s technology, housing cooperatives and property owners can ensure that each user pays for their actual consumption. This reduces incentives for overconsumption and contributes to more sustainable properties. Our solutions meet current IMD requirements and are especially adapted for building automation and energy efficiency.

Benefits of IMD measurement

Installing an IMD system offers several advantages – not least for residents’ finances and the environment. By measuring and billing based on actual consumption, a fair system is created where no one pays for someone else’s energy use.

For housing cooperatives

For housing cooperatives, IMD is a way to increase awareness of energy and water consumption. It contributes to increased comfort, lower energy costs, and often also a higher property value.

For property owners

Property owners of rental properties and commercial buildings gain better control over energy use and can more easily identify energy waste. It also creates opportunities for fairer rent distribution and better communication with tenants.

For new construction

It is now standard in many new construction projects and a natural step towards smart, energy-efficient buildings. PiiGAB offers solutions that are easy to integrate into new building projects and that meet market requirements.

What does the law say?

According to Swedish legislation, IMD is required in certain types of properties. For example, it is required for hot water in major renovations and new construction of multi-family buildings. By choosing solutions from PiiGAB, you ensure that the installation complies with current regulations and technical standards. Read more about the applicable rules on
