Metering and Reporting System: Energy reporting system

Software for the management of smart meters of any arbitrary resource

• Electricity meter, water meter, heating meter, gas meter, and other meters

• Collecting of metering data and storing it into database

• Determining and calculating consumption values and costs

• Distribution to different cost centres possible

• Further processing of data possible (e.g. creating user-defined bills, reports, sending via e-

mail, … )

• Export of data to third-party system (e.g. billing system)

Overview

AUTOMATION

Smart meters and cost centers

Tariffs

• Unit price

• Import of price tables (e.g. monthly price, ...) is possible

Resources

• Any arbitrary resource can be defined (e.g. water, electricity, …)

• To each resource a tariff is assigned

Smart meters

• Values are retrieved from data points of the NETx BMS Servers

• Each meter is assigned to a resource

Definition of project structure

• Definition of cost centers (hierarchical structure possible)

• Assignment of meters to cost centers (can be done on a percentage base)

AUTOMATION

Consumption values can additionally be imported

• Import from table (text or MS Excel table)

• Direct import of available data sets (consumption

values) is possible

Virtual meters

• Virtual meters do not have a physical data point

• Values have to be imported (e.g. consumption

values from energy provider)

Virtual meters and import of consumption values

AUTOMATION

• Meter

Consumption values - tables, graphs, charts

• Cost center

Consumption values, costs - tables, charts

• Reports can be stored as documents

Values are updated when documents are restored at a later point in time

• For each document actions can be defined

NETx Shutter Control

AUTOMATION

Often, control mechanisms of existing blind actuators are not enough• Actuators only offer a specific (limited) basic functionality• Extensions are not possible without further ado

NETx Shutter Control System is a software solution which provides extensive control functionality for the automatic shadowing of complex buildings• Control commands are calculated based on weather, time and location of the building• Additional functionality can be implemented on customer‘s request

NETx Shutter Control System is a project specific solution• The system will be customized to meet the requirements of a customer and the

characteristics of the building
