NewHybrid control for C&I batteries: stop exporting at negative prices
Solutions / Property and facility management

Every tenant billed from real data.

Hundreds of meters across your buildings, read by hand, billed late, with ESG reports built in spreadsheets. BOX2M reads every electricity, water, gas and heat meter automatically, bills each tenant, raises the alarm on leaks and overloads, and lets you switch equipment remotely.

What you bill
€ · kWh / tenant
per building, floor, tenant and m²
Why now

Buildings are expected to know their numbers.

EPBD recast 2024/1275

Non-residential buildings with heating or air-conditioning above 290 kW need building automation and control. The threshold drops to 70 kW by 2029.

Investor ESG reporting

Owners and funds report energy, water and CO₂ per asset. Metered data replaces estimates from invoices.

Service charges

Green leases and service-charge disputes need consumption per tenant, not a split by floor area.

How a project runs

Seven steps, one team.

Cost and duration depend on the complexity and scale of the site. A pilot on a few sites comes first.

1

Site survey

Meters, boards, signals, networks and constraints on site.

2

Solution build

The configuration: meters, sensors, cabinets, network, platform.

3

Design, assembly and configuration

Cabinets built and devices configured for your site.

4

Live testing in the BOX2M lab

Everything runs in our lab and test cloud before it ships.

5

Installation

By a specialised technician, without stopping production or supply.

6

Commissioning and acceptance

Live data checked against your meters, alarms tested.

7

Life-cycle support

Monitoring of the devices themselves, updates and changes.
