The spot market is an interesting space for a large number of consumers who manage their electricity or gas consumption or realize it at times when the price of energy is lower. These are mainly night hours or on weekends and public holidays. In these times, energy is several times cheaper than during peak hours, when energy is scarce and its price increases.

Functioning spot market trades require precise consumption monitoring and this is exactly what Enectiva can do. Erste Energy, a subsidiary of Česká spořitelna, was the first to use this functionality. Enectiva provides hourly consumption data for electricity (the so-called hourly profile) and the same profile for gas consumption. Data is transferred in real time from the customer to the Enectiva server, where it is accessible for further processing within Erste Energy.

The last few years of below-average rainfall have changed the public’s view of water. Drought, and thus the protection of water resources is becoming the number one issue in public and political space. Based on our experience in building certification, energy monitoring including water, building technology and construction experience, we have decided to publish 10 technical-management rules that will help reduce consumption within cities and municipalities. Decalogue to reduce water consumption.

There is an avalanche around Smart City that packs both useful and controversial solutions. We have put together key questions that will hopefully contribute to filtering out the less useful ones. We believe that modern technologies can serve citizens well without toxic subsidies.

Key Questions for Smart City Deployment:

• How will the deployment of new city management technologies benefit?
• How will the deployment of new technologies benefit citizens?
• What percent of the population will benefit from the new Smart City solution?
• Does the benefit outweigh the acquisition and operating costs?
• Is our planned Smart City solution built on an open, vendor-independent platform?
• What is the technical and moral durability of the intended solution?
• What is the environmental burden for the city after the end of its life?
• How is the IT security of the whole solution ensured?
• What is the flexibility of the solution in terms of its possible extension or limitation?

What solution is your city planning? For consultation do not hesitate to use the free consultation from the Enectiva team at +420 222 766 950 or info@enectiva.com. Our domain is smart metering, but we are happy to provide our opinion from other areas of modern technology for cities and municipalities.

Recent studies have found that the most common type of accident in buildings is leaking water. But what is its danger? In addition to the high cost of leaking water, it is mainly the damage that water can do. It is the most common reason for starting corrosion and deterioration of concrete. This is because corrosion of reinforced concrete structures is only possible in the presence of three substances - water, oxygen and corrosive agents such as chlorides and carbon dioxide. Leaking water is an ideal electrolyte that is one of the basic preconditions for corrosion. But leaking water can damage much more - utilities, lighting, building equipment, etc. - The damage can easily climb to hundreds of thousands euros. However, as already mentioned, we must not forget the very price of wasted water - it can reach up to dozens of thousands euros per year. Water leaks are most often caused by poor construction of water supply networks, unsuitable material, poor craftsmanship or gradual decline in the quality of the material used due to long-term use.
