Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) provider Trilliant has reached an agreement with energy and water metering firm Kamstrup to distribute its heat/cool metering line for Canada.

Kamstrup’s MULTICAL heat/cool meters are interoperable with Trilliant’s AMI and Smart Buildings solutions. The agreement is aimed at future-proofing Trilliant development of a multi-commodity sub-metering platform.

Heat/cool meters play a role in centralised heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems deployed in multi-tenant buildings. They can accurately calculate energy consumption by each tenant’s unit, as well as in common areas of multi-tenant buildings such as party rooms and gyms. They can help tenants use energy more efficiently throughout the year. They also help building managers monitor system performance, identifying operational issues in the HVAC system.

“Kamstrup is pleased to form this partnership with Trilliant to extend our reach in Canada,” said Arpit Sharma, Head of Sales Operations, Heat/Cooling at Kamstrup. “Trilliant demonstrates a true dedication to providing powerful, flexible technology solutions to improve processes and increased savings for utilities and energy organisations. We look forward to working more closely with them to enable greater efficiencies for Canadians.”

“This new agreement with Kamstrup is a significant milestone that will enable us to quickly address the heat/cool metering requirements of our customers and partners in Canada,” said Steven Lupo, Managing Director, Canada and US at Trilliant. “Kamstrup and Trilliant share many of the same tenets, with a strong focus on modular communications. We’ve valued our partnership with Kamstrup over the years, and this next step enables us to better serve and support the market, especially as we continue to focus on our innovative Smart Building solutions.”
