Revolutionising Energy Billing in a World-Renowned Ski Resort
February 2025
Transforming Energy Billing in Mayrhofen's Ski Resort Apartments
Nestled in the Austrian Alps, Mayrhofen is home to hundreds of holiday apartments, lodges, and rental properties, making energy billing a key challenge for operators. With seasonal occupancy fluctuations and properties spread across a wide area, traditional manual meter readings were proving inefficient, time-consuming, and costly.
The Challenge
Property managers relied on on-site meter readings, a process that took hundreds of hours annually. Limited property access during peak seasons, and inconsistent billing cycles made this approach unsustainable. A smarter, automated solution was needed to provide accurate, real-time data while reducing operational overheads.
The Solution
To modernise energy management, our local partners implemented electric sub-meters in each apartment, enabling precise tracking of energy consumption. These were connected via LoRaWAN, a long-range, low-power wireless network, allowing seamless, remote data collection without the need for costly infrastructure.
This solution delivered immediate benefits:
- Remote Meter Reading - Eliminating manual site visits and saving hundreds of hours.
- Real-Time Data Access - Providing instant insights into energy usage.
- Accurate Billing - Ensuring fair, transparent charges based on actual consumption.
- Scalability - Supporting additional meters and smart devices for future expansion.
The Results
With LoRaWAN sub-metering, property managers in Mayrhofen now have a fully automated energy billing system. The solution has significantly reduced operational workload, improved billing accuracy, and enhanced energy efficiency across the resort.
