How Property Managers Can
Optimize Electricity, Heat &
Water Bills for Individual
Tenants with LoRaWAN
SITUATION
Meter reading and energy consumption monitoring are
among the most important areas of property management.
By using Smart Metering technology, it should be possible
for property managers to simplify water usage bills to
tenants. In addition, building owners and managers can
reduce the consumption of electricity, heat, water, and other
utilities to save costs in the long term and improve
efficiencies.
LoRaWAN
®
-based technologies are an ideal solution for an
IoT infrastructure that cannot endure outages, such as smart
meters.
BENEFITS
This solution solves business problems in four
areas:
• Individual invoicing in multi-tenant buildings
• District heating
• Water pump management
• Non-revenue water (NRW)
2023 USE CASE
CHALLENGE
Traditionally, basic water consumption meters have been used
to measure water use. These types of meters require that
meter readings and other management tasks, such as meter
disconnection, are done manually. This is a very labor-
intensive process, especially for firms with a large number of
customers.
At the same time, simplicity is key for individual tenants, and
owners with multiple properties need to ensure that their
business runs smoothly day to day.
SOLUTION
Talkpool has partnered with TEKTELIC to create an easy-to-
use Smart Metering solution for building managers,
residents, and owners.
The solution consists of:
• Talkpool's LoRaWAN
-enabled Smart Metering
sensors, which measure utility usage at each unit
• TEKTELIC KONA Micro IoT Gateways for
LoRaWAN
which collect the data and send it to
the cloud
• A web portal that displays real-time and historical
information
