Retrofitting project gone smart

The property management of SIT Tower and Al Barsha Business Point was struggling with enormous cooling bills due to lack of individual metering in the two office buildings. On behalf of the property management, Endeavour Electro-Mechanical was searching for a wireless BTU cooling meter solution. Their clear choice was Kamstrup due to the company’s state-of-the-art BTU cooling meters that offer ultrasonic measuring with pinpoint accuracy at a low cost and with a minimum of maintenance.

Efficient and reliable remote meter reading
Two office buildings had to go through a retrofitting process, which included the implementation of individual metering. The consultants faced a significant challenge
with the existing pipes and building materials because they could not be changed or removed. As a result, it was important to Endeavour Electro-Mechanical to go for a smart wireless solution.

More projects ahead

The new BTU cooling meters were installed in 2014 and Endeavour Electro-Mechanical are pleased with how the project was run as well as with the performance of the metering solution.

According to Mr. Nannapaneni, no problems have occurred with the meters or the system since the installation and today, meter reading is not only accurate but also easy and fast.

One of the reasons for this is the support and training from Kamstrup, given to the landlord and his staff, says Mr. Nannapaneni. The wireless solution with a USB Meter Reader has been such a big success, Endeavour Electro-Mechanical are therefore expecting to go for the same solution for future projects in Dubai.
