SMART MULTI-UNIT BUILDING
TEMPERATURE CONTROL, WATER/ENERGY METERING, METER REMOTE READING, CONSUMPTION COST ALLOCATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE
The Termogea Smart Multi-Building utilizes innovative digital technologies based on Cloud to enhance the efficiency of temperature regulation, water/energy metering, remote meter reading, consumption cost allocation, administration, and maintenance.
Key aspects of this system are:
- Direct communication between the control units present in the apartments and the control unit that manages the Thermal power plant.
- Plug & Play climate control system for the apartment.
- The unified management of climate control system, metering consumption, and consumption distribution.
- Remote management of the system.
The Smart Building is a system for the complete remote management of centralized thermal power plant, with distribution through radiant floor/ceiling, fan coils and radiators. The system is suitable for installations powered by heat pumps or traditional boilers.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN APARTMENT AND THERMAL POWER PLANT
The direct communication between the apartments and the Thermal power plant is an innovative solution for comfort, efficiency, and energy savings. It is indeed possible to synchronize ignition, pre-ignition, and seasonal changes in centralized Thermal power plant.
SWITCH-ON ON REQUEST
The system activates the Thermal power plant only when there is a request from the apartments. In this way, it is possible to reduce consumption costs.
CENTRALIZED SEASON CHANGE
The kit also allows for synchronized seasonal changes between the Thermal power plant and all apartments.
CENTRALIZED PRE-IGNITION
The ALL-ON function allows all heads in the apartments to be opened for pre-ignition of the system.
PLUG & PLAY CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE APARTMENT
THE PLUG & PLAY CONTROL UNIT
The Smart Compact and Smart Central control units are connected to Minitouch thermostats or temperature and humidity probes. Both control units have integrated software that immediately identifies the number and type of probes/thermostats used when the system is switched on. No design and configuration is required.
UNIFIED MANAGEMENT OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND CONSUMPTION METERING
The climate control and consumption data is processed by the Smart Hub Climate Control Unit (TSH) located in thethermal power plant. This control unit is equipped with an integrated gateway for internet connection. Thus, we can remotely manage temperature regulation, consumption metering and consumption cost allocation.
Consumption metering takes place at both the level of each apartment and the thermal power plant, for generator’s consumption and the measurement of losses.
For the apartments we have Satellite modules dedicated to the metering of thermal energy and hot/cold domestic water consumption. For the generator of the thermal power plant we have the Electricity and Thermal energy meters.
The TSH Control Unit can manage any type of Meters.
Thermogea Minitouch thermostats and Termogea Smart Compact/Central control units are used to manage temperature control. These control units are equipped with an integrated gateway and connect via LAN to the TSH control unit.
This system meets the various requirements for the management of a centralized system:
- Tenants can manage the temperature regulation of their apartments and view their own consumption.
- The multi-unit building Administrator can carry out the allocation of consumption and costs.
- Service providers can record consumption data at any time through remote reading and manage meter serial number.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF THE SYSTEM
CLIMATE CONTROL, ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE
The Termogea Smart Hub, Smart Central, and Smart Compact control units come with an integrated gateway for internet connection to the Termogea Cloud. They are therefore designed for remote connection to the system.
Cloud access has different levels of authorization for the building administrator, maintenance technician and the residents. The administrator and maintenance technician can intervene remotely for checks and maintenance tasks. Residents can control the temperature from their smartphones using the Termogea APP to read, modify, and set the temperature in different zones.
CONSUMPTION REPORTING
Thermal energy consumption for Domestic Hot Water (DHW), heating, and cooling.
Consumption of hot and cold water.
Historical thermal energy consumption.
Historical consumption and production of electricity.
Comparison with the consumption of the previous period.
Data export on consumption in the most requested formats.
Export files with consumption allocation data in REP format.
