What you set now, saves a winter long
The low season is where phantom consumption lies: empty accommodations that keep heating, sanitary facilities on summer mode, pipes that keep circulating.
The low season is more expensive than you think
An empty plot consumes nothing, you would think. In practice, things run continuously.
Accommodations that keep heating
Empty, but at 18 degrees. For fifty homes, that’s a bill no one expects.
Pipes that keep circulating
Hot water circulation runs for draw-off points that haven’t been used for months.
Sanitary facilities on summer mode
Heating, hand dryers, and ventilation set to August mode in January.
What changes when the season turns
When the clock goes back, more than an hour changes. The hospitality sector operates on a different schedule or closes, accommodations become vacant, and the heating continues to run at the August setting.
The latter is the most expensive. A thermostat that no one has adjusted heats a building for an entire season where no one comes.
And an empty building is vulnerable. A frozen pipe is only noticed during opening — and then it’s damage instead of a notification.
What you set now saves you a winter long
Most of the winter savings are in settings, not in investments.
Seeing what’s still running
Per building and per group: what consumes while no one is there?
Switching off what is empty
Locations and buildings that are closed can be turned off remotely.
Frost monitoring that keeps an eye on things
Temperature per room, with a notification before it gets too cold.
A winter to compare with
Next year, you will know if it worked because you measured this year.
What you capture with sensors
A temperature sensor in a closed building shows whether it remains warm enough against moisture and frost. If it drops, you receive a message instead of a surprise.
The water meter shows continuous consumption. A pipe that bursts while the site is closed gives exactly that image: consumption that continues even when no one is using it.
For basements and technical rooms, there are leak sensors that report as soon as there is standing water. An autumn rain then comes in as a notification and not as a flooded space.
Winter is when your gas goes
Approximately seventy percent of the gas is used for heating spaces. In winter, consumption is highest, while occupancy is the lowest.
This gap lies in accommodations that remain vacant yet warm, and in thermostats that have not been adjusted after the time change. Measuring per building makes it visible.
Scheduling winter bookings next to each other instead of spread across the park maintains the same occupancy with fewer units that need to be heated.
An afternoon of work, a winter of rest
A sensor in a closed building and a water meter that monitors, are installed in one afternoon.
