Electronic heat cost allocators
EMS Electronic Metering Systems s.r.l. specializes in the development and manufacture of innovative wireless heat cost allocators. These electronic heat cost allocators are used for the precise recording of heat consumption in individual rooms or apartments in multi-family buildings, office buildings, and other large properties, and are now in use throughout Europe. They enable accurate measurement of the heat consumed in a room, thus ensuring fair and transparent billing of heating costs.
A key advantage of the wireless heat cost allocators from EMS Electronic Metering Systems s.r.l. is their flexibility: They can be mounted on any radiator and easily retrofitted later – all without having to open the pipework. Consumption is recorded by measuring the radiator temperature via an aluminum backplate mounted on the radiator and by measuring the room temperature using an air sensor. This technology detects the temperature difference between the radiator and the room and calculates the heat consumption based on this.
The measured consumption is then integrated over time. The result is displayed in points, providing a simple and understandable basis for heating cost billing. This method requires no modifications to the heating system and is therefore particularly easy to install and maintain. It is also flexible, as it can be mounted on any radiator without requiring any alterations or modifications to the pipework.
The devices are manufactured exclusively by EMS Electronic Metering Systems SRL and supplied to metering service companies responsible for reading and managing heating costs. Thanks to wireless technology, consumption data can be read and transmitted wirelessly, further simplifying data collection. This technology also enables automated, regular data collection, minimizing errors and reducing administrative costs.
Another major advantage of heat cost allocators compared to heat meters is their versatility in multi-family buildings.
Heat cost allocators can be used even when the heating pipes run through several apartments. In such cases, the use of heat meters is not possible because heat meters require a clearly defined, closed heating circuit for each residential unit, in which the entire flow and return temperature as well as the flow rate can be measured.
Heat cost allocators, on the other hand, enable the precise recording of the individual consumption of each apartment, even if the heating output is distributed from a central heat source. This ensures a fair and equitable distribution of heating costs, regardless of the type of heating system.
The use of heat cost allocators also promotes a more conscious approach to heating energy. By transparently recording the individual consumption of each user, residents have a direct incentive to reduce their heating consumption. Users who consume less heating energy are financially rewarded, leading to an overall more efficient use of resources and simultaneously distributing heating costs fairly among all parties.
EMS Electronic Metering Systems SRL stands for the highest quality and innovation in the manufacturing of heat cost allocators and reliably supplies partner companies that use the devices in various areas of heating cost billing and distribution. Thus, the technology not only contributes to a fair distribution of costs, but also supports the sustainable and environmentally conscious use of heating energy.
