What is IMD metering?
This means that each household or unit within a property is metered separately, making it possible to bill each user according to their actual consumption. This usually applies to electricity, cold and hot water, and sometimes heating as well. By connecting meters to each unit, you get a transparent and accurate view of energy consumption. Individual metering and billing is an effective solution for measuring and allocating costs for electricity, water and hot water based on actual consumption. For property owners, housing cooperatives and new-build projects, it is a powerful tool for creating fair and energy-efficient living environments. PiiGAB’s solutions ensure a secure installation that complies with legal requirements.
How does IMD work?
It is based on a network of meters connected to a data collection system. Data from each individual apartment is sent to a gateway, where it is compiled and exported to billing systems before ultimately being billed to the apartment occupant. PiiGAB offers reliable IMD metering systems with support for 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
Bill fairly with PiiGAB
With PiiGAB’s technology, housing cooperatives and property owners can ensure that each user pays for their actual consumption. This reduces the incentive for excessive consumption and contributes to more sustainable properties. Our solutions meet current IMD requirements and are specially adapted for building automation and energy efficiency.
Benefits of IMD metering
Installing an IMD system offers several benefits - not least for household finances and the environment. By metering and billing according to actual consumption, a fair system is created in which 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 greater comfort, lower energy costs and often also increased property values.
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 allocation and better communication with tenants.
For new-build projects
Today, it is standard in many new-build projects and a natural step towards smart, energy-efficient properties. PiiGAB offers solutions that are easy to integrate into new construction projects and meet market requirements.
What does the law say?
Under Swedish law, IMD is required in certain types of properties. For example, it is required for hot water during major renovations and the construction of new multi-family buildings. Choosing solutions from PiiGAB ensures that the installation complies with applicable regulations and technical standards. Read more about the applicable requirements on
the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s website
