Is EnOcean technology also suitable for efficient energy consumption metering?
Wireless heat cost allocators promote energy-conscious and economical consumption, and are already in use in millions of buildings. In the meantime about 20% of all heat cost allocators in Germany are wireless-based, 80% are currently going wireless. The wireless heat cost allocator means that nobody has to enter a home to read a meter, and tenants no longer have to wait for someone to come and read their meter. Landlords appreciate wireless units because they cut the administrative effort and cost: no rearrangement of appointments for meter reading, no on-the-spot readings, no reading errors, less trouble with tenants. A huge market: the total inventory of heat cost allocators in Germany is 31 million (classic evaporators and wireless, 2006), and of these 6.2 million are wireless heat cost allocators (up from 5.1 million the year before; source: Techem). Thermal generators to produce energy from the difference between the temperature on radiators and room temperature are currently bei
