STARTER PACKS / SMART CITY

DISTRICT ENERGY AND HEATING

STARTER PACK

120 DAYS - €9,500

CROSS-BUILDING ENERGY MONITORING AND OPTIMIZATION.

PROBLEM

DISTRICT HEATING INEFFICIENCIES ARE OFTEN GUESSED, NOT MEASURED.

Common symptoms 

HEAT LOSSES ARE ASSUMED WITHOUT VERIFICATION

No spatial visibility.

BILLING AND METERS DIFFER

Data cannot be reconciled easily.

SUBSTATION PERFORMANCE VARIES

Causes unclear.

DEMAND PLANNING RELIES ON OUTDATED SPREADSHEETS

Forecasting lacks evidence.

CITIES DON’T NEED DIGITAL TWINS FIRST. THEY NEED HEAT NETWORK INSIGHT. YES, REALLY.

SOLUTION

 We start with one district - around 50 substations and key consumers - because this gives you 80% of value in 120 days with minimal cost and no risk.
HOW WE APPROACH THIS

(simple and a bit refreshing)

We map the heat network, integrate consumption and delta-T data, and identify inefficient nodes.

We connect it using:

  • NGSI-LD Smart Data Models.
  • The Data Catalog layer (already part of Vela Context Data Hub).
  • Your existing systems and IT infrastructure.
No disruption, no platform migration, and no “strategic masterplan alignment committees”. 

Once the first dataset is flowing → transparency, dashboards, and real decisions become possible.

Then we expand - only if it’s worth it.
What You Get (in 120 Days)
 
  • Network topology model.
  • Efficiency dashboards.
  • Hotspot and anomaly detection.
  • Targeted upgrade recommendations.
THIS IS YOUR OPERATIONAL STARTING POINT, NOT A PILOT.

 

Who This Is For ​
 

Cities that have:

  • Municipal district heating companies.
  • Energy and sustainability offices.
  • Public infrastructure management teams.
  • Regional heat providers scaling gradually.
If that sounds like your city → we’re aligned already.
