Case Study: a prominent Swedish housing association reduces heating and energy costs with MetricFire

One of Sweden's Prominent Housing Associations cuts heating costs with MetricFire

The customer, one of Sweden's prominent housing associations, faced rising energy costs and operational inefficiencies. With central heating accounting for 20% of expenses and tenant complaints about inconsistent temperatures, they lacked a unified system to monitor their new LoRa-connected thermometers, smart electricity meters, and EV charging stations. Their challenge was to gain visibility into these systems to reduce costs and improve tenant satisfaction, leading them to seek a solution from vendor MetricFire.

MetricFire provided its Hosted Graphite and Grafana services to visualize the housing association's custom metrics. This solution delivered comprehensive visibility into heating and electricity usage, enabling the association to identify and fix incorrectly configured thermometers. As a result, MetricFire helped them significantly reduce heating and energy costs and transform their decision-making process with data-driven insights.
