Nov. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- ZigBee Smart Energy, the short-range wireless energy management standard, is well known and in widespread use for monitoring and managing electricity, water and gas consumption. Now European utilities will be able to add heat consumption to the multitude of commodities, which they wirelessly can monitor, manage and visualize.

Kamstrup - http://www.kamstrup.com - incorporates the numerous benefits of ZigBee Smart Energy to their MULTICAL® 601 heat meters and MULTICAL® 61 water meters and thereby gains interoperability with a wide variety of ZigBee Smart Energy products that improve energy efficiency and energy awareness.  Both of these products recently earned the distinction of being a ZigBee Certified product.

The integration of ZigBee technology in Kamstrup heat and water meters enables heat and water consumption data to be sent to consumer in-house displays and even energy suppliers because of the innovative ZigBee Smart Energy home area network.

"Having accurate real-time consumption data is the key to improved energy efficiency and it is the core business of Kamstrup to offer energy efficient and energy saving solutions, says Peter V. Aakesen, Product Manager at Kamstrup. Integrating ZigBee Smart Energy to our heat and water meters supports utilities seeking to help consumers save money and lighten their environmental footprint thanks to this new energy monitoring capability".

The ZigBee Smart Energy equipped heat and water meters are ready for the European market now.
