Communication key in the technical solution
When the project was implemented, none of the properties were previously digitally connected. To meet the need for an open and communicative control system, both freely programmable and configurable heating regulators from Regin were installed and then connected to an external SCADA system from Webport. In this way, it has become possible to create an integrated and future-proof control system that provides full control of the buildings.
“Since we ended up with an adapted solution where we have integrated functions and systems from different suppliers, the big challenge has been getting the technology to communicate. But thanks to well-functioning APIs and communication protocols, we have been able to take advantage of today’s digitalization opportunities and create a flexible system with accelerated energy efficiency, says Michael Bengtsson, Technician and Project Manager at Vesam.
Improved productivity and energy efficiency – across the business
With a new and connected control system, it will now be easier to achieve an overview of all heating systems in the portfolio. At the same time, several synergies are created in the form of higher productivity, optimized performance, and lower energy consumption. With the Exigo heating controller, a new way to cost-effectively replace outdated and inefficient control equipment and implement an efficient heating system has also been found.
“With a complete installation package based on the Exigo heating controller, we can cost-effectively replace older control equipment and install an efficient heating system. With a standardized system, the solution is also scalable, which is beneficial when we have planned to upgrade and streamline around 30 upcoming properties”, Michael concludes.
