Smart Heat Cost Allocators

What’s a Smart Heat Cost Allocator?

Smart Heat Cost Allocators (HCAs) enable heat cost measurement in multi-dwelling houses. With HCA, utilities and landlords can charge each customer for their actual energy consumption by automatically measuring heat consumption on each apartment radiator and transmitting the data via a wireless connection.

Benefits of Smart Heat Cost Allocators

Smart Heat Cost Allocators radically streamline utilities’ customer management. 無線接続の HCA により、メーターの読み取りプロセスで施設へアクセスすることが不要になりました。プロパティ・マネージャーは、実際の使用状況に基づいて業務を合理化し、顧客に正確な請求書を発行できるため、キャッシュフローが加速します。For tenants and apartment owners, smart Heat Cost Allocators result in transparent consumption information and fair invoicing of the energy used. 住民が屋内の温度調節、エネルギー消費量の削減、より持続可能な都市への貢献を行うよう動機付けます。

Product Design Considerations for Devices and Applications with Smart Heat Cost Allocators

数十年もの電池寿命を実現

ヒート・コスト・アロケーターでは、低消費電力が不可欠です。電池寿命が長いため、交換や現場訪問の回数が減り、電力会社の総所有コスト (TCO) が削減されます。Silicon Labs は、当社の独創的な超低消費電力 SoC 設計や低デューティ・サイクルの最適化など、消費電力を削減する業界最先端のソリューションを複数提供しています。

Wireless Range in Smart Heat Cost Allocators

As with most battery-powered smart metering applications, long wireless range and high reliability ensure full connectivity in all sites and conditions, reducing maintenance costs and increasing customer satisfaction. We can enable your smart HCA devices with sub-GHz wireless protocols to maximize reach and reliability even in the most demanding radio environment.

ネットワーク・トポロジ

Smart Heat Cost Allocators don't have a single wireless standard or networking topology. Instead, you can work with multiple wireless protocols and topologies to support various business models, utility segments, providers, and geographic areas. Silicon Labs enables you to build a scalable and reliable wireless subnetwork based on WMBUS and Proprietary protocols.
