Digitally supported project design and commissioning
Apps and web tools support the design process and offer fast and simple commissioning at your fingertips. A truly digital approach and full transparency on the end usersʼs energy data makes your life easier.
The Belimo Energy Valve™ and Thermal Energy Meter with NFC interface (Near Field Communication) enable easy configuration and maintenance directly from a smartphone. With the Belimo Assistant App, the devices can be configured intuitively and commissioning values can be logged. Key performance indicators, which make it easy to determine the "health status" of the device, ensure reliable operation. Numerous diagnostic parameters show how the device interacts with the system during operation. If servicing is required, it is possible to draw up a failure analysis quickly.
Seamless integration of metering data
Seamless and direct integration to the BMS and equipped for IoT-based energy monitoring and billing. Integration of energy-data has never been easier. One device provides all the information you need to improve the energy performance of your system.
Excellent connectivity
The Belimo Energy Valve™ has on board all common building automation communication protocols.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE allows the device to be powered and the data to be transmitted simultaneously via an Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, avoids wiring errors and eliminates the need for a local power supply.
Direct integration into IoT platforms
Belimo's IoT-ready products allow field devices to be connected directly to modern building IoT platforms. Now you can benefit from the possibilities of a networked digital ecosystem.

The multifunctional all-in-one solution
Measuring
Integrated sensors for measuring temperature spread, flow (including compensation of glycol content) and therefore power.
Control
Control of valve position, flow or power for perfectly controlling the heat exchanger.
Balancing
The Belimo Energy Valve™ always ensures the correct amount of water is used – even in the event of differential pressure changes and in partial load operation.
Isolating
The energy supply to a zone can be completely shut off. No leakage thanks to the air-bubble tight characterised control valve.
Energy monitoring
Optimisation potential can be identified by recording all system data.
Billing
Ready for IoT-based tenant billing.
Modular design for a fast meter exchange
The Thermal Energy Meter consists of a sensor module (lower part) with connected temperature sensors, which houses the calculator unit and measuring system, and the logic module (upper part), which connects the Thermal Energy Meter to the power supply and provides the bus and NFC communication interface.
The sensor module is available as a spare part and, in certain countries, must be periodically replaced according to national regulations. To do this, the logic module can be separated (leaving all cables connected) and the lower sensor module can be easily exchanged. After that the logic module is clipped back on again. There is no need to re-connect cables or re-integrate the meter into the system. A very significant time-saving!
