Direct heat metering systems – UNI EN 1434

In centralized condominium systems typically with ring distribution, the energy meter represents the tool through which it is possible to distribute heating costs among condominiums in a simple and reliable way.

Its measurement is expressed in KWh following the directives of the specific European reference regulation EN 1434 and there are various types that differ both in utility and in the technology used.

Compact meters allow the metering of thermal energy supplied to domestic users and can be used in heating and cooling systems while composite meters are the ideal tools for energy metering in thermal power plants or district heating networks.

Both compact and composite meters can be mechanical or ultrasonic; the latter, in addition to ensuring more precise measurement, also enjoy a more durable MID certification.

Finally, energy meters can be equipped with different technologies for transmitting consumption data.
In the catalog we have selected the wireless M-BUS and wired M-Bus technology for compact meters, while for composite meters the wired M-Bus or Reed output technology.


Consultation of consumption data

The "ticks" relating to consumption are displayed directly on the display of the meter.
The reader acquires the consumption data in WBF via WSL868 key and EQUO software or, alternatively, via a remote reading system thanks to floor control units and master control unit which autonomously posts the data on the server.
As per the recent regulations that suggest periodic consultation of consumption data, the  WEB portal is available which draws the data from the server and makes them easily accessible to the System Manager, the Condominium Administrator and the individual Condominium Owner.
The portal allows the visualization of heating consumption and consumption of cold and hot water, facilitating the perception of the spending trend by the User through graphic representations.
