Energy management system at several universities in Baden-Württemberg

Building automation
Our servicesWe took over the specialist planning of the technical equipment in the KG 410, KG 420, KG 440 and KG 480 areas. The aim was to centrally record all media consumption in order to enable a detailed analysis and control of the energy flows. Various communication protocols such as M-Bus, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and BACnet IP were integrated in order to create a uniform database.
HVAC control
Modbus TCP/RTU for efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning control
Energy monitoring & consumption analysis
M-Bus for precise consumption data acquisition and optimization
Intelligent building communication
BACnet IP enables seamless communication between different building technologies and offers flexible control and monitoring of systems.
Flexible system integration through cloud technology
With cloud connectivity, building systems can be flexibly monitored and controlled remotely, enabling location-independent management.

In practice, this meant installing intelligent metering and measuring systems that are able to record consumption data precisely and on a building-specific basis. This data was transferred to a central system that enables continuous monitoring and analysis.
The targeted evaluation of consumption data enables load peaks to be identified, savings measures to be derived and optimization potential to be exploited. The central data platform also makes energy management easier for the universities, as all relevant information is available in a bundled form.
A particular focus was placed on making the system future-proof: New technologies and additional buildings can be easily integrated. The successful implementation not only increased the transparency of energy consumption, but also created a basis for more sustainable operation.
