An easy, automatic and cost-effective solution for monitoring air conditions in buildings is now available.The solution can be installed in any building without requiring an integration with existing HVAC systems.

Information is key to implementing energy saving measures in buildings. No property owner wants to deliberately waste energy. Many media outlets (such as Kiinteistöposti) have recently reported how large energy savings can be achieved by adjusting heating and ventilation systems. Actually achieving these energy savings requires knowledge of each building’s current situation before making adjustments.

When is a building temperature test necessary?

Not all buildings have automatic, remotely readable temperature, humidity and air pressure measurement. In these cases, you have to go to each apartment separately to take measurements or read the apartment thermometer. It’s critical to know what the actual temperatures are, not just how much energy is being used, because the actual temperature is often different from what is set via the HVAC system.

There could even be a situation where the automatic heating system overheats by several degrees, causing the air conditioning to kick in and both systems to work constantly against each other.

In large buildings such as warehouses and sports halls, temperatures can vary greatly within the same space, especially at ceiling and floor level. A built-in temperature meter that’s located in just one point can’t take these differences into account. Ventilation problems like this are only found through measurement.

How can you get the data needed to control the heating and ventilation?

A traditional room temperature survey is done on a one-off basis using hand-held meters. In large facilities, this is time-consuming. Additionally, a one-time survey is unable to capture temperature variations over time.

Kaltiot Smart Tracker can be used either for a one-time project or for continuous measurement. The system uses network-connected sensors for remote monitoring. The remote air monitoring sensors are first taken to each apartment or room, from where they automatically collect data which is uploaded to the dashboard.

Continuous data across a longer period of time provides a much greater understanding of indoor air temperature, humidity, and ventilation performance in the building compared to a single measurement. For example, you can compare the differences in air pressure between rooms, or see how the midday sun heats up certain apartments significantly above the temperature set in the HVAC system.

You can easily and effortlessly monitor air conditions, make the necessary adjustments and see what effects those adjustments have. Monitoring is done remotely, meaning that the solution does not require any on-site visits. This will save you a significant amount of time.

What types of properties can be remotely monitored?

The Kaltiot Smart Tracker is suitable for a wide range of applications. In large spaces such as swimming halls, sports halls, warehouses, or event centres, several sensors can be installed in one room to gain a clear picture of the temperature differences in the space. In multi-unit buildings such as apartment buildings, row houses and hotels, one or more sensors can be installed in each apartment, and the apartments can be compared with each other.

The sensors can also be used outdoors, such as for monitoring indoor and outdoor air pressure differences. Sensors can also be installed in special environments such as factories and cold rooms.

How does Kaltiot Smart Tracker work?

We offer an easy, reliable and cost-effective solution that is ready to use. This means that you can start optimizing heating as soon as the sensors are delivered. The sensors are work in any building, regardless of the building automation system in use. No integrations with existing HVAC systems are needed.

Kaltiot Smart Tracker includes pre-configured sensor devices, automatic data upload, and a browser-based dashboard.

The sensors are battery-powered, meaning they don’t require an electrical connection. This means they can be installed almost anywhere. The easiest way is just to tape the sensor to the wall with double-sided tape!

Sensor batteries have a lifetime of 1-5 years, depending on the sensor and the data transmission interval. The batteries are replaceable in every sensor model.

Sensors can also be used again at different sites. Just collect the sensors and install them in the new location. The service is ideal for project-based use between sites, which makes it particularly cost-effective.
