Communications overview

9 December 201420

No suitable protocol for <£5 devices, not everything can be IP connected

ISM band (433/868/915MHz) has distinct advantages over 2.4GHz Greater range Lower cost of implementation Longer battery life

…. but no standardisation leads to poor product interoperability

A better way

9 December 201421

For many buyers, the failure of product interoperability is an impediment to take-up

For many manufacturers, the lack of a suitable communications protocol adds to their product implementation costs

The OpenThings protocol was developed by Sentec and Hildebrand to address these problems

CONFIDENTIAL

OpenThings

9 December 201422

Low overhead protocol that defines a simple set of extensible message structures and communication sequences

Reference dictionary defines parameters of common products (e.g. Smart plug, temperature sensor, alarm), but manufacturers are free to create their own

Free-to-use, easy-to-implement, no extensive certification or integration testing needed

NOT an alliance, only the allocation of Manufacturer IDs is controlled

In housing developments that use district heating, residents often pay a fixed monthly heating fee. Whether residents turn down the heat when departing from the flat, or they leave the heat on and the windows open, they pay the same fee. The resident who wastes heat never faces the consequences, and the responsible user is not rewarded.

Local governments worldwide are seeking a solution to this challenge, as more than USD300 billion is spent globally on district heating for block housing developments as well as on college campuses and in commercial and public buildings.1

In Camden Council, one of 32 borough councils in London, a first-of-its-kind heat metering program is providing a cost-effective approach that rewards residents for energy efficiency.

Measuring heat consumption in block housingIn block and affordable housing developments, typically a single boiler plant is used to heat hundreds of flats. Understanding how much energy each household consumes requires the ability to monitor, measure and report on the flow of hot water into and out of each flat.

To accomplish this, Camden Council turned to Hildebrand Technology, a London-based technology incubator and energy consulting firm. Through a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grant, Camden Council is working with Hildebrand on a pilot program to

OverviewThe needResidents of block housing developments pay a fixed fee for heat regardless of their consumption, reducing any incentive to conserve energy by closing windows on cold days.

The solutionA heat metering system, based on IBM® Informix® TimeSeries, is providing feedback on heat usage and other infor-mation to encourage residents to adopt more energy-efficient practices.

The benefitSome households have reduced their heat consumption by more than 30 percent, and CO2 emissions are expected to drop by 16,000 tonnes.

deploy individual metering systems in approximately 1,500 properties. This will be extended significantly if the pilot goes well. These systems allow Camden Council (and the residents) to measure usage as if each flat had its own water heater. Residents now have accountability on their energy usage so they adopt energy-saving practices.

“In helping us design our solution, Hildebrand has enabled us to concentrate on the real value-add of heat metering, which is energy efficiency,” says Daniel White, sustainability officer, Camden Council.

Residents who take heat-conserving steps, such as turning the heat down when they leave the flat, pay less. Hildebrand has conservatively estimated a savings of approximately 20 percent per household per year. However, through the pilot program, Camden Council has seen even greater savings.

“We have seen savings of over 30 percent for some residents,” says White. “We estimate an overall annual savings of GBP195,000 [USD302,503] for the properties participating in the pilot. Burning less fuel also reduces our carbon footprint. We estimate that this project, over its lifetime, will save up to 16,000 tonnes [17,637 tons] of CO2 for 2,500 homes. This number is dependent on heating efficiencies, behavior, building fabric and, of course, outside temperature–all of which vary from site to site. Metering has also allowed us to understand these variables.”

The potential worldwide impact of this type of approach is enormous. “Communities around the world stand to save up to USD60 billion as heat consumption decreases by 20 percent,” adds Joshua Cooper, CEO, Hildebrand.

Handling thousands of data points per secondHildebrand provided the software, integration and hosting services to leverage the stored meter data. “We are using Software as a Service to provide the meter management, the meter data repository and analysis platform, and the accounting and communication network operations,” says Cooper.

With meter readings captured every six seconds from more than 1,500 meters, Hildebrand needed more than a traditional relational database management system.

“We estimate that this project, over its lifetime, will save up to 16,000 tonnes [17,637 tons] of CO2 for 2,500 homes.”

Heating controls

To save energy, you will need to understand how to use your heating controls. Training

will be provided by Apollo’s resident liaison officer.

Included at the back of this information pack are:

X Short guide on your heating controls

X Manufacturer’s instructions for your heating controls.

It is important your heating system, including heating controls, is kept in good repair. If it is not, you may be wasting energy. You must report all faults to Camden repairs, the number is provided at the back of this pack.

Save energy

Below are some tips to save your energy. Some of these tips relate to saving money on your

electricity bill which is not currently part of your heat meter system.

Energy saving tips

X��Turn your radiator (themostatic radiator valve) or room thermostat down. Reducing your room

temperatures saves you money.

X�� If you have a room that is not often used, turn down your TRV to save money.

X��Close your curtains and check your home for draughts. This can prevent heat escaping from

windows and doors.

X��When your home is too warm, turn down your heating. Don’t open your windows to control

temperature.

X��Use low temperature cycles for washing machine and dishwasher. This reduces the amount

of hot water and saves energy.

X��Try to use full loads on your washing machine and dishwasher. Two half loads use more

energy than one full load.

X��Only boil as much water as you need to (but remember to cover the elements if you use an

electric kettle)

X��Fix leaking taps - A dripping hot water tap wastes energy and in one week wastes enough hot

water to fill half a bath, so fix leaking taps and make sure they’re fully turned off!

X��Use energy saving light bulbs

X��Always turn off the lights when you’re not using a room.

X��Don’t leave appliances on standby, and turn off chargers for laptops / mobile phones when

the charging is complete.

EMS - Charts

Charts will be demonstrated during training with resident liaison officers. They will enable users

to analyse current and historical energy usage.
