Intelligent room control
The secret to success for reducing energy costs in non-residential buildings
Do you want to sustainably improve energy efficiency in your building and reduce operating costs? better.energy is the perfect software solution for various areas of application such as office buildings, educational institutions, clinics and more. State-of-the-art wireless technology combined with reliable hardware ensures simple installation and commissioning in your non-residential building, without any structural measures.
Innovative automation
Have your radiators and fan coils controlled automatically
The window is open but the heating is still on unnecessarily? Is the heating or fan coil running at the highest setting in an unused room? Finally put an end to this! better.energy automatically regulates the temperature in the entire building so efficiently that your energy consumption is reduced enormously. The system recognises open windows and takes the current room occupancy into account.
Occupancy-dependent control
Heating and cooling depending on room occupancy
Easily add individual occupancy levels for your rooms via the management platform. If a meeting room, classroom or lecture theatre is occupied, you can create the room occupancy manually or have the occupancy added automatically via an interface to the occupancy system. Occupancy-dependent control lets the system know when it needs to heat or cool the room. You can then use the rules to set the temperature to which occupied rooms should be heated or cooled. Regular occupancy can also be stored here. If the room is empty, it is automatically set back to the temperature for unoccupied rooms.
Radiator control
Don’t waste energy on heating
With better.energy, you can regulate your radiators automatically and so efficiently that you can reduce your energy consumption by up to 31 per cent. Intelligent software combined with innovative hardware makes these savings possible in your building too. The system takes into account room occupancy, open windows, temperature limits and individual rules that you customise for your building and your rooms.
Fan coil control
Focus on comfortable temperatures and efficient cooling
Smart control of your air conditioning units ensures optimum temperatures, greater efficiency and unbeatable comfort. Your fan coil units (FCU) are controlled based on rules that you customise to the requirements of your building and the people in it. You can also store modes, for example for summer and winter, and adapt your control to the seasons. The fan coil control relies on LoRaWAN-capable hardware.
Management
With our IoT platform, you always have everything in view
You can access your energy management solution better.energy at any time and from anywhere via web access. You can see the current temperatures in all rooms, active control sets that control your radiators and fan coil units, as well as the activities of the radiator and fan coil control in the respective rooms. You can use the platform to manage your company, locations and users, add rules or edit the desired temperature.
Smart building
The smartest way to a smart building
The smart building approach also makes your life easier. Smart building concepts transform homes into smart, comfortable, safe, intelligent and energy-efficient buildings. Innovative and green. Smart building systems help you to simplify your day-to-day work. Automated processes and control systems reduce your operating costs, increase energy efficiency, save you money, protect the environment and ultimately promote sustainability. This makes it all the more important that you address this issue and pay more attention to the energy balance of your office, hospital or hotel.
LoRaWAN
Amazingly more range with less bandwidth
The intelligent energy management solution better.energy is based on the LoRaWAN wireless standard. With LoRaWAN wireless technology, you have numerous advantages over other wireless technologies. You benefit from greater security thanks to encrypted data transmission, long battery life, low susceptibility to interference, extremely long ranges and very good penetration of the radio signal in your building. You also save a lot of cable and wiring work during installation.
Sustainability
More energy efficiency for a green future
You too can do something for the environment. At a time when sustainability and environmental protection are more than just a trend, it’s important to think about more than just your turnover. You should also think about your ecological footprint when you act. With the intelligent heating and fan coil control system better.energy, we can help you do just that. Because with better.energy, you can conserve resources and reduceCO2 emissions. Join us in working towards a green future!

better.energy & better.guest
Hotels connect room control with digital guest directory
Good news for hotels: better.energy can be easily connected to the digital guest directory better.guest. This allows your hotel guests to conveniently and intuitively control the temperature in their hotel room and bathroom via the in-room tablet with the digital guest directory – from the comfort of their bed. The digital guest directory thus becomes the control centre for the hotel room for your guests. They will also find numerous functions and services on the smart in-room tablets that will make their stay at the hotel even better.
