Security solution for HSB Brf Siken

Customer:

HSB Brf Siken in Tyresö has 208 apartments and two commercial premises. Its main building has 12 stairwells, each with 8 floors.

HSB Brf Siken is a customer of Home Solutions.Home Solutions helps its customers make their properties and condominiums smart, green and sustainable. Home Solutions has more than 20 years of experience in the digitalisation of residential buildings and currently connects more than 60,000 apartments.

The challenge:

At HSB Brf Siken, they wanted to monitor the apartments in an optimal way so that they could obtain the information they needed.

It was important to obtain information about the temperature in each apartment and on each floor, so that the property manager could optimise and balance the temperature in the buildings. They also wanted to receive early indications of water damage. It should not go so far that the neighbour in the apartment below noticed the leak in their ceiling. Information was also needed in the event of fire and smoke development, so that they could be proactive rather than reactive. The aim was for the property manager to have the information needed to optimise many different and important parameters in the property, while also creating a sense of security for the residents.

Previously, they only had a control computer, a DUC, which detected the outdoor temperature. The temperatures in the apartments were regulated based on this temperature. Traditional smoke alarms had previously been installed in the apartments, but these only emit an alarm and do not trigger any further action. Water leaks that occurred were only detected after major water damage had already occurred. Home Solutions were looking for a more modern solution and a system that used the same communication language (M-Bus).

SEK 100,000,000

this is how much water damage in properties in Sweden costs every week

The solution:

Home Solutions offered HSB Brf Siken our gateway, PiiGAB M-Bus 900T Wireless PiiGAB M-Bus 900 is a Smart Metering Gateway that communicates via both wired M-Bus and Wireless M-BUS. In this case, the electricity meters are wired, while everything else is wireless With PiiGAB M-Bus 900 and the Home Solutions Propeye system that was installed, they receive information from temperature sensors, smoke detectors and leak alarms. To ensure that the radio infrastructure worked optimally, a repeater was installed on every third floor. This repeater ensures that signals from all sensors and detectors reach the gateway, where all data is collected. The gateway then forwards the data to Propeye. The temperature sensors in the property send information to the property manager, who monitors the temperature levels in the apartments. The property manager regulates the property, ensures balance and adjusts the radiators to achieve the desired level and savings in the best possible way.

The smoke detectors provide indications in the event of fire and smoke development. There is also a leak alarm under the sink in each apartment. If a leak occurs or the smoke detectors are triggered, an SMS is sent to the property manager, the resident of the apartment and the board.

To simplify on-site installation and protect the gateway, it was pre-installed in an enclosure. We at PiiGAB carried this out in advance of delivery as a service to make our customers' work in the field easier. A router with LTE was also installed in the enclosure to provide smooth and secure access to the data.

Following implementation, HSB Brf Siken received the information they wanted as a basis for managing the properties in a beneficial way.

We at PiiGAB are pleased to have been involved in the project together with
