Brf Smörslottsparken in Gothenburg
Customer:
Brf Smörslottsparken in Gothenburg was built in various stages by the publicly listed property company Balder. The third stage consists of 297 newly built apartments with 645 metering points.
The end customer in the project is Brf Smörslottsparken.
Infometric's customers are property owners and tenant-owner associations, which it helps by efficiently measuring and reducing their energy costs and improving their environmental efficiency. The services offered are IMD (Individual Metering and Billing), billing for consumption from EV charging stations, and “Shared Electricity”. Since 1995, Infometric has collected more than one billion meter readings.
Infometric is the market leader and has offices in Sollentuna and Gothenburg.
Challenge:
Metering of hot water, cold water and temperature in 297 apartments.
The requirement was for data collection to be carried out using a wired M-Bus system. In addition to meter data collection, the assignment also included Infometric's IMD system Infosam. During the construction of Smörslottsparken, a request was made to supplement the data collection with heat metering. The challenge was that construction had already begun, and modifying the cable routing would have involved major reconstruction costs.
Solution:
To avoid the major reconstruction costs that installing cable routing afterward would have required, Infometric proposed supplementing the system with a wireless M-Bus system.
PiiGAB's Gateway 900T/S makes it possible to combine both wired and wireless meters in the same gateway.
The heart of the data collection system is the PiiGAB 900S gateway, which collects the meter data. Based on the collected data, the heating in the apartments is optimized to save energy, money and the environment. The consumption of hot water in each apartment is sent to the IMD system for individual billing to the apartment residents.
In the project in question, the decision was ultimately made not to supplement the system with heat metering, but the ability to offer this is a strength.
