Smart Metering
The EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) has been revised, requiring all newly installed meters in homes to be remotely readable by the end of October 2020.
The directive aims to exploit additional energy-saving potentials to further reduce energy consumption across Europe.
- From October 25, 2020, only remotely readable meters are allowed for new installations, renovations, or complete device replacements in buildings, with a retrofit obligation for existing buildings by January 1, 2027.
- Additionally, from 2022, occupants of buildings with remotely readable devices must be provided with quarterly consumption information. Further provisions include monthly consumption information from January 1, 2022, and the retrofitting of all meters for remote reading by January 1, 2027.
Lingg & Janke, one of the leading KNX metering companies showcase their different smart meters and the solutions they present in order to fulfil these new directives.
Also, they go a step further by offering smart meters that allow consumption data with a much higher resolution than those from the energy providers.
To do this they received the “Pin code” to unlock these features in the meters.
