Rising energy prices and stricter CO₂ regulations are driving the digital transformation of building management. For building managers, energy managers, and site managers, this means that office and commercial spaces must be operated more efficiently. The solution? Digital heating control.
With smart sensor technology and retrofit solutions, existing buildings can be upgraded quickly and easily. This provides transparency regarding energy consumption and comfort, allowing heating systems to respond to actual demand rather than operating on a fixed schedule. This saves costs, reduces CO₂ emissions, and lays the groundwork for ESG-compliant energy management.
## The Key: Smart Sensors
In a digitized building, energy cost transparency is easy to implement, pays for itself quickly, and meets all regulatory requirements—with [Smart Heating]() from Currenta Conneqtive and our partner enerthing.
Smart sensors systematically monitor energy consumption—from individual offices to entire buildings. They analyze energy consumption patterns and minimize energy losses. At the same time, air quality monitoring ensures a better indoor environment for employees.
## What our Smart Heating pilot demonstrates
Automating heating control offers companies significant potential:
- Lower operating costs
- Reduce CO₂
emissions
- Increase energy efficiency
- Increase building value
## Three Perspectives
Our three perspectives on technology, sustainability, and management highlight which departments should explore the possibility of quickly and easily automating their existing buildings through retrofitting.
### 1\. Building managers
Of interest to building managers: How can a building be digitized without disrupting operations?
The answer lies in retrofitting. Retrofitting with smart thermostats is straightforward thanks to the plug-and-play approach. The modern sensor technology operates wirelessly and is self-powered. A special photovoltaic film uses ambient light to power the sensors. This eliminates the need for cables, batteries, and maintenance. Installation and commissioning take place within a single day, without any structural modifications.
All data is securely transmitted via the LoRaWAN wireless standard and can be integrated into existing systems. Interfaces enable seamless connection to existing building management systems. **Result:** An automated heating control system that operates reliably for years. Lowering the room temperature by just 1°C saves up to 6% in energy. ### 2\. Energy Managers and Sustainability Officers Energy managers and sustainability officers are under pressure to meet ESG goals. Smart Heating from Conneqtive and enerthing provides: - Real-time data on temperature, air quality, and room usage - Demand-based control of heating and ventilation systems - Energy savings of up to 30% All data is processed centrally in the cloud, where it is visualized, analyzed, and documented. This provides companies with a solid foundation for their ESG reporting and ISO 50001-compliant energy management. **Result:** Transparency and control over energy flows provide a foundation for sustainability and climate protection. ### 3\. Site Management and CFO For site management and the CFO, the cost-effectiveness of the measure is paramount. Conneqtive & enerthing Smart Heating solutions are offered as a service. Instead of CAPEX, predictable monthly expenses are incurred. At the same time, energy and cost savings begin immediately after implementation, enabling a rapid return on investment. Regulatory requirements such as the Building Energy Act (GEG) are met. Individual measures are eligible for funding from the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (Bafa). **Result:** OPEX budgeting makes it easier to launch pilot projects and enables scalability with immediate results. ## In summary Maintenance-free sensors, secure wireless communication, and cloud-based control and analysis form the foundation of the stable and easily scalable [Smart Heating]() solution.
- Information on indoor climate and room occupancy enables demand-based heating
- Improved indoor air quality ensures a healthier work environment.
- The building’s occupants benefit from smart building technology and Smart Heating
With enerthing and Conneqtive, getting started is quick—usually within four weeks. Then, an initial vision of a smart building becomes a tangible and measurable reality in no time.
