Giving Aging Buildings a “Smart Brain” — R1000-Powered Energy Retrofit Across EU Commercial Properties
Giving Aging Buildings a “Smart Brain” — R1000-Powered Energy Retrofit Across EU Commercial Properties
- Industry
- Energy Management, Smart Building
- Region
- European Union (Commercial Building Retrofit)
- Application
- Energy efficiency for existing commercial buildings
Project background and needs
This energy management solution targets existing EU commercial buildings, using reComputer R1000 to aggregate LoRaWAN and building-equipment data, running edge control across a four-layer architecture and displaying energy information.
Lack of operating data
- Aging buildings lack real-time monitoring infrastructure.
- This makes it hard to quantify insulation and HVAC efficiency.
Needs continuous equipment and environmental data.
Control and retrofit cost
- HVAC and lighting keep running in unoccupied rooms.
- Per-room controllers make traditional retrofits costly to scale.
Needs centralized monitoring and occupancy-based control.
Solution and architecture
Sensing and connectivity
Environmental, metering, and occupancy sensors collect data; LoRaWAN, Modbus-RTU, Wi-Fi, and 4G connect the site and the cloud.
Edge control
R1000 unifies heterogeneous protocols and aggregates data and runs logic locally.
Energy visualization
Processed data is pushed via MQTT/HTTP to the client's Grafana dashboard.
