Collective housing

Ensure comfort and security, to guarantee the durability of the property and the satisfaction of the residents.

The actors of collective housing: managers, public and private landlords, co-ownerships, etc., are responsible for the optimal management of their buildings.

The success of this mission depends on the monitoring and control of the proper functioning of the building’s equipment.

challenge

Reducing operating and maintenance costs

Optimising maintenance with the implementation of preventive actions

Improving the energy performance and health of buildings

Meeting contractual objectives and legal obligations

Guaranteeing comfort and customer satisfaction

solution

Energy efficiency

OPTIMISE THE ENERGY USE IN THE BUILDING

The PULSE, PULSE ATEX, TIC and MODBUS IoT sensors read the consumption data of energy meters (thermal energy, water, gas, electricity).

The analysis of the data collected makes it possible to follow the evolution of consumption and to identify ways of progressing to reduce their use.

An alert system when over-consumption is detected makes it easy to identify a possible leak and to act accordingly as quickly as possible.

CONTROL THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY INSIDE THE BUILDING

By installing the IoT COMFORT sensor directly in the flats, the building manager can remotely monitor the evolution of the ambient temperature and humidity data. This is a real advantage in assisting occupants. This monitoring makes it possible to :

– provide better comfort in the dwellings,

– ensure optimal energy performance in the flats.

CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OF DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW) NETWORKS

In order to guarantee tenants against health risks linked to the spread of legionella bacteria, the temperature of the water in the hot water networks must be controlled. This control is compulsory and regulated.

The IoT TEMP2S sensor, thanks to its two external probes, reads the temperature at two distinct points and sends an alert as soon as the threshold is exceeded. This IoT solution guarantees the regulatory compliance of the installations and the safety of the occupants.

MONITOR THE OPENING OF THE SMOKE VENTS/SMOKE EXTRACTION HATCHES

The “CONTACT SENSOR” sensor allows a quick recognition of the opening of a smoke extraction or venting flap. The alert sent by the IoT sensor makes it possible to:

act as soon as possible to limit the damage that could occur in the event of bad weather,
prevent intrusion into common areas,
ensure that compulsory maintenance work has been carried out.

ENSURE THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEMS

The ventilation system of a building is essential to ensure good renewal of indoor air. This system ensures that the premises are protected against damage caused by excessive humidity.

By ensuring the renewal of air it also protects the occupants against the risks linked to poor indoor air quality (headaches, irritations, illnesses, etc.). The Delta P sensor makes it possible to control the correct operation of ventilation systems in order to avoid any risks for the dwellings and their occupants.
