Energy Management
Effective energy saving starts with making exact measurements of energy consumption. Under the title of “Smart Metering”, utility companies, meter manufacturers and billing companies are starting projects that aim to create innovative data gathering systems targeting the consumption of resources.
ScatterWeb designs and provides soft- and hardware for constructing low power, self organizing radio networks with a large range. ScatterWeb focuses on applications in buildings such as increasing energy efficiency, safety and comfort.
The advantages of this solution include:
A 1% decrease in electricity consumption across the EU would lead to savings of billions of Euros, as well as making an essential contribution to long-term environmental efforts. Through radio based home automation techniques (e.g. heat controlling) private consumers become able to decrease their energy consumption and energy costs (e.g. by making use of different prices for day and night electricity). These savings have the potential to provide a return on investment in less than 10 years.
There are many ways in which system integrators and in-house technology manufacturers can benefit from implementing wireless technology.
-
New sales through equipping older buildings with automation technology based on wireless technology
New product opportunities through integrating new components into in-house technologies
New sales through offering more frequent meter reading.
Additional turnover through extending deployed wireless infrastructures to new products (Fire alarms, intrusion detection)
