Home on the Range
WilSon Energy has carried out a full audit and replacement of the heat metering system at a prestigious residential development in Bath.
North Range is located in Bath’s Artisan Quarter situated on the historic Old Walcot Yard. Each property has a heat interface unit (HIU) with an energy meter, with a hard wired Mbus output.
After all the properties were completed, it was soon discovered that there was no means of remotely collecting data on energy usage at each of the properties. The only option was to go door-to-door to collect meter readings, which led to issues with access, lack of
accurate billing and no way to resolve any queries regarding energy consumption for tenants and occupiers.
After completing a full audit of the heating system, WilSon Energy engineers found that the original meters supplied with the HIUs were low cost, with a single output which could not be connected, as the meters would not accept interchangeable modules.
The WilSon Energy replaced all heat meters with wireless MBus, enabling remote data monitoring and a central data collection device. This removed the need for manual meter readings and meant that access into the properties was no longer required.
