Billing based on reliable data and daily consumption overview.

Automating remote energy consumption readings offers a number of advantages, from more accurate consumption data to convenient online access to data. In apartment buildings in particular, remote metering provides a better overview of energy management in individual apartments, making costs and billing more transparent. Building users are motivated to behave more responsibly as consumers and can better influence their costs.

For property owners and managers, smart technologies mean more efficient processes, time savings, and less administration. 

How does remote measurement work? 

Accurate billing for energy and water begins with thorough and reliable consumption measurement. ista radio meters record individual consumption in each apartment/unit and store it in their memory.

The central unit – a data bus located in the common areas of the building – automatically reads all end meters once every 7 days and digitally transfers the data to the cost billing and energy monitoring software. Smart metering eliminates the need for manual readings and allows daily consumption and meter status data to be monitored.

Building managers and apartment owners have easy access to consumption data via the user-friendly ista24 web portal, where they can track consumption trends.

After the data is processed, each user receives a clear and detailed bill that combines individual consumption with the building's common fixed costs. Each bill complies with legislation, which guarantees transparency and provides apartment owners and users with a clear overview of their costs.
