Key points

Care sites require monitoring without disrupting comfort and continuity.
Multiple buildings and budget pressure make a central overview important.
Alerts and reports must be clear for facility, finance and management.

Focus

Traditional approach

Show general consumption.

Modern approach

Combine continuous consumption, comfort, budget and deviations.

Use

Traditional approach

Technical analysis detached from management.

Modern approach

Reporting for facility, finance and board.

Follow-up

Traditional approach

Search for deviations manually.

Modern approach

Alerts and priorities per building or meter.
