As a Belgian distributor of energy meters, Ecompany supplied 485 electricity meters from inepro Metering for the Meerzicht project.
The Meerzicht Project
Meerzicht is an impressive residence that serves as the focal point of the Duinenwater project in Knokke-Heist, Belgium. Surrounded by nature, it boasts views of both water on one side and a large inner garden on the other. Beneath this garden lies an underground parking spanning 1.6 hectares, accommodating 250 garage boxes, 120 parking spaces, and 190 private storage units.
Energy monitoring with the PRO1 electricity meter
All garage boxes and storage units were equipped with lighting and power sockets. At client’s request, a lockable power socket was installed at many parking spaces, allowing residents to charge their electric bikes or vehicles. To monitor the energy consumption of these sockets and allocate costs accordingly, the decision was made to utilise the electricity meters from inepro Metering. In consultation with Ecompany, Elektro Deblaere & Co opted for the Smart PRO1 with M-Bus reading, with data centralised through an M-Bus master from Elvaco.
These single-phase meters proved to be the ideal solution for this project due to their simple operation and robustness. This system enables easy reading of the bus, and subsequently, based on the serial numbers, the consumption can be linked to the correct owners by the building manager.
Francis Missiaen, Director of Elektro Deblaere & Co, reflects positively on this project:
“This installation was a challenge for us. With thorough preparation and the necessary support from Ecompany, we can consider this project a great success.”
