How installation companies can help customers save using data.
More and more installation companies are turning to data as part of their services. Whereas traditional installation companies used to focus primarily on hardware such as central heating boilers or heat pumps, these companies are now using data from:
Smart meters
These measure real-time energy consumption and are accessed through parties such as Tibo Energy. Underlying this, they work with grid operators such as Fudura, Kenter and Joulz to provide reliable energy data.
Building management systems (BMS)
Schneider Electric and Priva are examples of systems that provide comprehensive insights into building performance, from power and gas usage to temperature management.
IoT sensors
IoT sensors from the likes of Syrinx and KPN IoT allow you to unlock specific data points, such as temperature, humidity, CO2 levels and light intensity.
By integrating these data sources into one or more dashboards, installation companies can generate valuable insights beyond standard reports. Solutions in which such integrations are central are also referred to as a smart building. These smart buildings enable companies to improve energy efficiency, reduce costs and optimise user comfort.
Unlocking data is only the first step in realising valuable insights. The quality of the data ultimately determines whether those insights are reliable and useful for decision-making. Therefore, data quality is an essential focus throughout the chain. At Blenddata, we work with customers to ensure data quality through specific controls.
Here are three main ways we validate data:
For companies looking to achieve energy savings, it is crucial to be able to rely on the right data. Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to wrong decisions, missed savings or even compliance issues. By integrating these validation processes, we ensure that analyses and reports are reliable so that you can take action with confidence.
Data quality is thus not only a technical requirement, but also an indispensable step to achieve sustainable results!
A modular and scalable underlying platform is important for companies looking to respond to market or regulatory changes now and in the future. Some of the benefits of scalable infrastructures are:
Using energy data not only offers benefits for customers, but also an attractive additional revenue model for installation companies. This is often achieved through a subscription model where customers:
An example is how Van Hout, through their proposition OVVIA, offers customers a guaranteed savings return of 20-25% through data-driven energy savings.
