Remote Water Meter Reading

What is heat metering? Heat metering allows condominium residents living in a building with a centralized boiler system to calculate and manage their heating and hot water consumption. This means that each resident can use the heating system as they wish, without time or temperature limits, thanks to tools such as thermostatic valves, heat allocators, and heat meters. Thanks to heat metering, each resident independently manages the temperature of their apartment, as they will only pay for the amount of heat they actually consume Is heat metering and temperature regulation mandatory? Yes, Legislative Decree 102/2014 (later integrated by Legislative Decree 141/2016) mandates heat metering for all condominiums and buildings with centralized heating systems. Condominiums that have not yet complied risk fines ranging from 500 to 2500 euros for both the condominium and the individual resident. *Exempt from the decree are condominiums and buildings with autonomous heating systems and cases where it is not possible to carry out the adjustment due to significant technical issues. What are the benefits of heat metering? The benefits of heat metering include:
  • Autonomous management: With autonomous temperature management, consumption is calculated based on individual needs.
  • Savings: Residents only pay for the actual heating consumption.
  • Tax deductions: Heat metering can benefit from tax incentives*
*Renovation bonus (building renovations on common areas): 50% IRPEF deduction. Energy efficiency Ecobonus (replacement of old boiler with a condensing system): 65% IRPEF deduction. Why is remote monitoring important in heat metering? Remote monitoring in heat metering is important because it allows for real-time tracking of consumption, unlike annual or seasonal end-of-year reports. Thanks to remote monitoring, the condominium manager can be promptly alerted in case of fraud attempts, tampering, or malfunctions, allowing immediate action. Remote monitoring also offers numerous advantages for residents, condominium administrators, and technicians:
  • Residents can request access to a web portal at any time, where they can view their real-time consumption data and view graphs showing energy consumption trends* (additional feature upon request).
  • Administrators can access the web portal at any time to view each resident’s consumption, manage anomalies, and download consumption data to distribute individually to residents..
  • Technicians can use smartphones to record installation details and manage maintenance tasks.
  • The Wireless M-Bus GSM data concentrators, KUBO and KONO, receive consumption data from heat meters (direct metering) or heat allocators (indirect metering) and send it to the Webvision portal, where the data can be accessed by users.
