Case Study: Domūs achieves live per-apartment utility visibility with Rhino

Domūs, Amsterdam Houthaven puts live consumption in 235 apartments with Rhino

Domūs, a student housing complex in Amsterdam Houthaven, faced the challenge of settling utility bills based on actual consumption without giving residents any visibility into their usage during the billing period. This led to surprise invoices and an inability to detect costly faults like leaks early. The vendor, Rhino, was engaged to address this problem with its metering and data services.

Rhino connected to the building's existing meters to collect continuous, per-unit consumption data. This data was then fed via an API into the resident app, built by AIRE, that Domūs tenants already used. The solution allowed residents to monitor their live usage, leading to early fault detection, reduced billing disputes, and the elimination of surprise utility bills.
