Energy analysis and energy monitoring of building stock

Energy analysis and energy monitoring of the building stock

Summary

Energy analysis and energy monitoring of the building stock are effective tools for improving and maintaining energy efficiency. Sweco’s expert services help you identify energy saving potential, monitor the energy consumption of buildings and react quickly to deviations. Hourly consumption data and building-specific energy indicators provide accurate information to support decision-making and enable effective measures to improve energy efficiency.

Energy analysis and energy monitoring of the building stock are key tools for improving and maintaining energy efficiency. Sweco offers comprehensive services that help you identify energy saving potential and monitor the energy efficiency of buildings in the long term. These services can be used to make informed decisions and take the necessary measures to reduce energy savings and environmental impact.

Energy analysis of the building stock and energy monitoring services

1. Analysis of energy consumption takes a peek behind consumption data

How do buildings consume energy?
Find out which buildings have energy efficiency potential.
Analyse the energy efficiency potential of buildings based on hourly district heating and electricity consumption.

2. Building-specific analysis based on energy indicators

Building-specific energy indicators will be drawn up, which can be used as a tool for energy advice in the future.
Examples of energy indicators: energy consumption compared to previous years, operating times of ventilation units, base load of electricity, heat output demand in sub-zero temperatures, heating demand on different days, domestic hot water consumption, night-time heating, daytime heating, start of heating need.

3. Monitoring and reporting

Effective energy monitoring of the entire building stock on a monthly basis.
Possibility to take quick action when energy needs change.
Energy indicator-based monitoring not only tells you which building has an anomaly, but also which system is likely to have a fault.
Monitoring can be used to detect, for example, an increase in heating demand, faults in the heating system of a ventilation unit, an increase in electricity consumption, changes in ventilation operating times.

Challenges solved by energy analysis and monitoring

Energy analysis and monitoring of the building stock solve two key problems: identifying energy efficiency potential and monitoring the operation of buildings based on energy data. When the energy consumption and technical operation of buildings are continuously monitored, it is possible to determine in detail which buildings have the greatest potential for energy savings. The analysis is based on the hourly district heating and electricity consumption of the buildings, and the result is building-specific energy indicators that describe the building’s energy technology. In the future, these indicators will be used as a tool for energy monitoring, which will enable the implementation of quick and effective measures in the event of changes in energy demand.
