ÖrebroBostäder have developed their own systems for building with standard parts from the industry. Here is Jonas Tanner City, head of the electrical and automation of ÖrebroBostäder, the encoder’s brain, PLC, sitting in an automation cabinets in each house.
New technologies offer new opportunities to measure and visualize energy consumption, saving money. This motivates more people to invest in smart energy-saving automated solutions. One way is to work cross-industry. Real estate business can borrow solutions from industry and vice versa.
The experts in Automationsnästet offer advice on the options available today and how we can achieve greater profitability through smart energy efficiency.

first Is the potential for energy efficiency generally known among managers in the manufacturing, processing and properties?
Yes, it is commonly known. Everyone knows that there is great potential, but then the question is what resources are available and how priority matter. Often, budget control and then ends up other issues higher on the agenda. There is considerable knowledge of the various industries, but if there is no owner of the question, it is difficult to get the knowledge. There is a need for clearer accountability at the management level in order to exploit the full potential of existing energy efficiency.
second How to work cross-industry between manufacturing, processing and properties with technical solutions and automation for energy efficiency?
A key issue for successful energy work is the dissemination of knowledge through networking, participation in research projects and sharing of best Practice. However, technology is only a part. The need for knowledge dissemination to other stakeholders such as banks and politicians and others is extremely important to create an environment where new business models and Ideas and solutions can grow. There is great potential also for collaboration between actors within the same industries, including raising the level of skills as a client.
3rd What advice can you give to companies and organizations that do not know where to start?
In order to exploit the full potential that is linked to energy work, it is important to create a structured approach and a long-term strategy. A game plan needs to be defined based on specific business objectives (such as growth, profitability, environment), legislation and standards. Step two is to appoint a responsible person and an organization that will manage the work. A third step is to ensure that you have the right skills for implementation, both internally and externally.

first Is the potential for energy efficiency generally known among managers in the manufacturing, processing and properties?
I think many are aware that there are often great opportunities to save energy in their activities, but they do not know always what’s most effective for a given action. Automation is often very profitable, but more difficult to assess directly compared with, for example, inserting a heat pump or some other “physical” action.
second How to work cross-industry between manufacturing, processing and properties with technical solutions and automation for energy efficiency?
To have joint research programs with participants across industry limit is something I like scientists believe is effective. To present the results from the action of an industry in the media as other industries reading is another. A third is that people change the industry and brings with him experience and implement measures from the process industry in the real estate industry.
3rd What advice can you give to companies and organizations that do not know where to start?
Looking good examples on the internet is always a good way to go. To speak with researchers in different industry sectors or attend conferences another. It may be helpful to begin with a study of ex-laborer, scientists and other experts helps with a first overview. For automation solutions may also enter production efficiency and better production quality, which can save energy indirectly by distributing the energy of other products or through reduced waste.

first Is the potential for energy efficiency generally known among managers in the manufacturing, processing and properties?
No, the potential is not known and it is because the responsible overly relaxing energy efficiency investment in new systems to replace the old one. The great potential is
in getting the systems they already have functioning properly. We reach a power consumption that is 34 percent lower compared to our base year 2005.
second How to work cross-industry between manufacturing, processing and properties with technical solutions and automation for energy efficiency?
In industry, there are often culture and structures that are valuable to the real estate industry, for example, the view of system knowledge. At the automation of an industrial process is often based on a holistic, something which is lacking in similar work in real estate. It is one of the explanations for the unexploited potential for energy efficiency in the real estate industry; that the various member functions in the houses do not work optimally together.
3rd What advice can you give to companies and organizations that do not know where to start?
Dare to try! The real estate industry is facing a technological paradigm shift. Traditional automation solutions with its limitations will soon be just a memory. My advice to all property owners is that for the next automation project stop, reconsider a decision in favor of industrial automation solutions. Enlist the help of proven experience, there are currently groupings among the major property owners where there are exchanged experiences. I belong to a part and communicates love to my thoughts.
