Reliable utility data for residential portfolios.
Residential buildings were never designed for centralised data collection. Meters are scattered, providers differ by country, and tenant-level accounts are often separate from the building owner's. iqbi connects to the infrastructure that exists and fills the gaps where it doesn't.
Why residential utility data is uniquely hard.
Tenant accounts sit outside the owner's control
In many European markets, utility accounts are in the tenant's name. Accessing unit-level consumption requires coordination with tenants, utility companies, and sometimes regulators. Most platforms ignore this problem. iqbi has processes for it.
Service charges based on floor area, not usage
Without unit-level metering, service charges get split by floor area or headcount. Tenants who use less subsidise those who use more. Disputes follow.
Legacy stock across multiple countries
Older residential buildings have analog meters, no BMS, and no digital infrastructure. Across a European portfolio, every country adds another layer of complexity.
Automated utility data that scales with your portfolio.
- Automated collection of electricity, water, gas, and heating across all buildings — through utility portals, smart meter APIs, and on-site hardware where needed
- Unit-level submeter data where metering exists, enabling fair cost allocation and usage-based billing
- Cross-country standardisation into one data format regardless of provider or market
- Portfolio dashboards, building benchmarks, and anomaly detection
- CSRD and GRESB-ready exports built on verified meter data
Where unit-level metering exists and tenant transparency adds value, iqbi can extend the data layer to occupiers: a consumption app, billing breakdowns, and in-building screens. This is an optional extension — not a requirement. iqbi works with where your portfolio is today.
Building-level clarity. Unit-level precision.
Building level
Total consumption by utility type. Building-to-building comparison. Anomaly detection for leaks and equipment failures.
Unit level
Where submeters are available: per-apartment consumption for electricity, water, gas, and heating. Fair cost allocation and usage-based billing.
