better.energy - The intelligent energy management platform for sustainable non-residential buildings
better.energy is the innovative LoRaWAN-based energy management platform for non-residential buildings such as hotels, clinics, care homes, office buildings, public facilities, authorities and educational institutions. With intelligent automation and analysis functions and smart algorithms, better.energy ensures efficient control of energy consumption and enables a sustainable reduction in costs and CO₂ emissions.
Management functions for maximum flexibility
The better.energy platform offers comprehensive management functions that enable simple, scalable and cross-location use as well as centralized control
Location management
- Management of multiple locations within one platform
- Comparison and optimization of energy consumption across locations
Building & room management
- Clearstructuring and management of individual buildings and rooms
Detailed heat consumption data can be called up individually for each building or building area
User administration
- Central control of all users within the system
Access controls for different user groups
Role management
- Differentiated assignment of rights for different user roles (e.g. facility manager, technician, energy officer)
- Individual configuration options
Device management
- Integration and control of various sensors and IoT devices
Real-time monitoring of the status of all linked devices
Audit logs & notifications
- Traceability of all events, whether triggered manually or by the software
These management functions make better.energy particularly flexible and scalable, so that companies and institutions of all sizes can optimize their energy management efficiently and across all locations. In addition, better.energy offers you two powerful modules:
1. better.energy-Control - The smart control for radiators and fan coils for automatic energy savings
2. better.energy-Monitor - The digital heat consumption analysis for maximum transparency
better.energy-Control - Automated control for maximum energy savings
better.energy-Control is the central module for the automated, occupancy-dependent control of radiators and fan coils. Based on occupancy schedules or synchronized bookings, the software detects whether a room is being used and automatically adjusts the temperature. Unnecessary energy consumption is thus prevented without compromising the comfort of users or guests.
Functions of better.energy-Control:
Occupancy-dependent control
- Reduces the heating or cooling output in unused rooms
- Automatic temperature adjustment based on occupancy schedules or booking information
Intelligent control and modes
- Flexible control engine for optimal adaptation to the needs of building users
- Detection of open windows and automated adjustment of temperatures
- Boost function and smart day and night setback to avoid unnecessary heating and cooling
Independent of existing infrastructure
- Retrofitting without complex structural measures and cabling thanks to LoRaWAN wireless technology
- Can be operated completely independently of the existing IT infrastructure and IT network
Dynamic radiator and air conditioning control
- Optimization of heating and cooling capacity according to demand and use
- Temperature settings can be individually adjusted
Sustainability & cost savings
- Up to 31% energy savings thanks to smart automation
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions for sustainable buildings
better.energy-Monitor - Full transparency on energy consumption
better.energy-Monitor provides detailed analyses and hourly real-time data on heat consumption and helps companies to identify optimization potential and reduce costs.
Functions of better.energy-Monitor:
Real-time monitoring of energy consumption
- Precise consumption analyses of heat consumption
- Dashboard with hourly detailed live data and long-term trends
Digital heat consumption measurement
- Precise recording of heat consumption per area or building
- Identification of potential savings and inefficient systems
Cross-building and cross-location analysis
- Comparison of multiple buildings or locations in a central platform
- Benchmarking function to implement energy-efficient best practices
Simple integration & operation
- Compatible with a wide range of LoRaWAN sensors and meters
- Cloud-based - no additional IT infrastructure required
