Problem
Many real estate properties lack standardized, easily accessible data from utility meters and sensors, hindering efficient monitoring of building performance. This absence of readily available data makes it difficult for property owners and managers to optimize operations and reduce costs.
Solution
BRICK4U provides a solution for digitizing utility meter and sensor data in real estate using their "BRICK" IoT device and "BRICK-Cloud" software. The BRICK device captures data from various meters and sensors, while the BRICK-Cloud standardizes, processes, and secures this data for further use. This allows property owners, managers, and service providers to gain insights into building performance, streamline processes, and make data-driven decisions. The system supports wireless M-Bus and Open Metering System (OMS) standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of meters and sensors, and facilitating vendor flexibility.
Target Audience
The primary customers include energy suppliers, housing associations, measurement services, metering point operators, energy service providers, and prop-tech companies.
