Case Study: Longyearbyen community achieves major energy savings and centralized building control with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions

Longyearbyen - Customer Case Study

Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost settlement in Svalbard, Norway, needed a way to monitor and control energy use across its nonresidential buildings to reduce consumption and improve operational reliability in a remote Arctic environment. Working with KE Automasjon and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (using ICONICS GENESIS64 integrated via KE Automasjon’s Datavaktmesteren®), the community sought a centralized automation and monitoring solution for heating, electricity, ventilation and alarms.

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions’ GENESIS64 platform (with Hyper Historian, GraphWorX64 and AlarmWorX64) delivered a unified dashboard, mobile access and early alarm management through KE Automasjon’s Datavaktmesteren®. The deployment reduced shopping-center heating by 76% and electricity by 50%, cut heating across other community buildings by 46% and electricity by 32%, improved indoor environments, greatly reduced frozen-leakage incidents, eliminated routine on-site checks, and has been expanded to monitor water and wastewater systems.
