What is energy monitoring in buildings?
Energy monitoring is a systematic process for recording, analysis and optimization of energy consumption. Sensors and measuring systems are used to collect and evaluate data in real time. The aim is to energy consumption more transparently to identify potential savings and reduce costs in the long term. Modern energy monitoring systems help companies and owners of non-residential buildings, develop and implement sustainable energy saving strategies. and implement them.

Implementation of an energy monitoring system
Effective energy monitoring requires a structured approach. Implementation begins with a Needs analysisto identify the relevant energy consumers in the building. This is followed by the installation of Measurement and sensor technologywhich continuously records data on electricity and heat consumption. This data is transmitted via a Central platform visualized and analyzed. With the help of intelligent algorithms Recognize inefficient processes and unused savings potential.
Software for data analysis
Modern Software solutions in energy monitoring play a central role in the collection, analysis and visualization of energy data. They make it possible to identify consumption patterns, uncover inefficiencies and derive targeted measures to save energy. Most systems are cloud-based or local and offer functions such as automated reporting, alarms in the event of unusual energy consumption and interfaces to other building management systems.
DEOS solution: the pro.Building Suite
At the heart of the DEOS solution is our IoT platform pro.Building Suite. This is where all data is brought together, stored and processed. Energy reports can be generated automatically in the background and displayed, sent or printed out regularly as required. So you get the Transparent and simple overview of the energy status of the building. In addition to energy data, the pro.Building Suite can also be used to Further sensor datasuch as temperature, CO₂ values, humidity, presence, people counting stored, visualized and processed can be used. These enable further application scenarios such as cleaning on demand, flex desk or presence-controlled regulation.
Energy monitoring in existing buildings
Retrofitting energy monitoring systems is a challenge, especially in existing buildings. Existing systems are often not designed for digital data acquisition. But with modern IoT solutions and wireless sensor technologies energy monitoring systems can also be efficiently retrofitted in older buildings. By implementing them step by step, companies can analyze energy consumption and targeted optimization measures take, without incurring high investment costs without incurring high investment costs.
The first step is a reliable meter connection, for example cable-based via M-Bus or wireless via LoRaWAN. LoRaWAN is particularly suitable for the post-digitization of existing buildings due to
- the high range and penetration in the building,
- the long battery life of up to 10 years and
- the low cabling effort.
