The project will involve deployment of BaseN’s real-time metering and monitoring system for electricity, water and heating energy for an energy efficient apartment block to be built in Espoo, near Helsinki.
The joint project, known as Espoo Adjutantti, aims to develop new technology and services for eco-efficient city living forming part of the overall smart grid and energy market research program to study user experiences.
Fortum development manager Vesa Koivisto said that baseN’s scalable production platform, the ability to collect and process large amounts of data in real-time, opens up interesting opportunities for Fortum.
"As an industry forerunner, we want to utilize modern, next generation metering technology, and to enable our customers to monitor their energy consumption virtually in real-time, via our portal," Koivisto said
