A Connected Network for 27,000 Homes
Netmore Group and Stena Fastigheter are bringing LoRaWAN connectivity to 27,000 apartments in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg. The rollout will include gateways and about 42,900 meters and sensors. The network will support water submetering, along with temperature and humidity monitoring.
Smarter Energy Management
These tools can help property managers see how buildings use water and energy. With better readings, they can identify excess consumption and adjust operations. For residents, the change may be mostly behind the scenes—but more efficient buildings could mean a more comfortable, sustainable home. Results will depend on how effectively managers act on the data.
Room to Expand
The project shows how connected sensors can support day-to-day property management at scale. Energy optimization is the first step. The companies also expect to explore uses such as water-leak detection, waste management, and smoke and radon monitoring. Those applications could help address problems earlier, while careful management of building data will remain important.
