Obtaining comprehensive real-time measurement data on the conditions of a property helps a lot in maintaining the building. If the temperature of the property is known in real-time, the heating system can provide just the right amount of heating. If the functionality of the building is monitored with pressure difference, humidity and carbon dioxide measurements, the air quality can be maintained better for all users.
The SiMAP system is well-suited for this purpose. The system always includes the room sensors that measure temperature and humidity and it can be expanded to measure the pressure differences between different rooms and the carbon dioxide levels in the rooms. The data measured by the system can be transferred into the SiMAP cloud service where the measurement data produced by the system are stored in a manner where old data is not compressed or deleted. This allows the comparison of long time periods in order to detect slow changes.
The data is available to the user for review from the SiMAP cloud service either through the browser interface or through the easy-to-use API interface for machine processing. If necessary, the SiMAP measurement system can be linked to a local automation system using Modbus, instead of or in addition to the SiMAP cloud service, for example.
A SiMAP adjuster may be included as a part of the system to control the property’s heating system. The adjuster considers the indoor temperature automatically and keeps the temperature steady regardless of the prevailing conditions or the heat generated within the property. In such instances, the over-heating of the property is avoided and energy savings of 10-15% are gained, in addition to improved conditions.
Real-time data allows maintenance to detect problems early on. In addition, the data can be used to monitor the impact of different maintenance activities.
For example, the need for balancing of the ventilation and heating network and the success of the activities can be verified using the measurement data.
On top of the SiMAP cloud, there are also advanced control and analysis services available. Our partner, Leanheat, for example, offers services based on artificial intelligence, which optimises the heating of the property based on energy costs.
