In Paris the French metering service provider Multimat Compteurs has for the first time equipped one of its buildings with AMR consumption meters. The technology needed for the job was provided by noventic subsidiary QUNDIS. The client Multimat Compteurs now wants to install this technology in further buildings. Because it helps the company to simplify and accelerate its processes, and because it helps tenants to avoid inconvenient meter reading appointments.
Investments in modern energy technology or heat insulation will fail to yield the forecast savings if you do not succeed in changing the resident’s consumption behaviour. In a Copenhagen suburb the noventic subsidiary KeepFocus showed how the Cards app could be used to prevent the rebound effect.
A development by noventic shows that climate protection can be very simple: The 'Cards' app playfully involves tenants in actively saving energy on a daily basis and, as a side effect, helps to protect the building fabric. The app was awarded the Innovation Prize by the German Property Federation (ZIA) at the Real Estate Industry Day on 13 June 2018.
Warm rooms, a good indoor climate - with lower energy consumption costs. And doing something for climate protection at the same time. That sounds good - but it costs money to produce. In the public perception, energy-efficient refurbishment of buildings is often accompanied by rent increases that make your own home unaffordable. Is that true?
The convergence of climate change and digitalisation presents building owners with a unique opportunity to enhance economic efficiency and climate protection simultaneously. This can be achieved through climate-intelligent property management, which integrates these two objectives in a mutually reinforcing manner.
