Case - Van Hout advisors and installers

Thanks to the data platform, we always have accurate data to advise clients on their way to sustainability

The question

Fully managed data platform as catalyst for building sustainability.

The solution

Scalable data platform providing energy reports for 350+ buildings.

The result

Better advice through data-driven insights. Room for growth in services.

Van Hout helps organisations make their real estate more sustainable. With advice and installation of sustainable solutions such as solar panels, LED lighting and thermal storage, customers can save energy and costs. To improve sustainability insights for its clients, Van Hout approaches Blenddata.

Together with clients, Van Hout realises installations for buildings that deliver very high energy performance at the lowest possible cost. To make weighted decisions, the availability of data is crucial.

Data-driven sustainability

Director Jan van Hout: “To invest in making buildings more sustainable, it is vital to be able to calculate quickly and accurately what results we can guarantee and advise. To go full steam ahead with this, we needed to scale up our data platform. We asked Blenddata to realise this and take the management out of our hands. So that our internal data team always has the right data to manage customers’ sustainability journey.”

A fully managed IoT platform that processes 1000+ energy data streams and includes data quality and reporting modules

Daily insight for customers

The platform processes over 1,000 building energy data streams into energy and sustainability reports every day. This gives Van Hout customers valuable insights super fast.

Add new buildings yourself

The modular design of the platform allows buildings to be added endlessly, through a fully automated process. Van Hout’s data team does this itself, without the intervention of Blenddata.

Focus on core business

By leaving full platform management and specific data training to Blenddata, Van Hout can maintain focus on delivering added value for its customers.

Knowledge sharing with the team

Non-technical users also get insights from the platform.

“Blenddata took ultimate responsibility for timely delivery of milestones to internal and external stakeholders. They ensure that data is accessed daily and monitor its quality. Blenddata colleagues also share knowledge with our own data team and train non-technical users so that everyone can gain valuable data insights from the platform. Together, we elevate the team to the next level.”

Future-proof thanks to modular design

The amount of data at Van Hout doubles every month. Blenddata structures and organises all that data.

“Thanks to its modular design, the platform is prepared for future data flows and sensor protocols. It is currently used for >300 buildings, but can also be deployed for 1,500 or even 10,000 buildings. This is important because the amount of data Van Hout processes doubles every month. The data platform includes modules for data quality and reporting. With great results! Van Hout realises energy and cost savings of at least 20% per connected building.”

Extension of team

Blenddata colleagues know our context. They identify opportunities and take action.

“We interact well: Blenddata colleagues feel like part of our own team. They take full management off our hands and ensure every day that all data is complete and comprehensive, so that our advisers can go to clients with data-supported advice. We can always come to Blenddata with questions and they also think along proactively. Because we now know each other well, there is a connection with our context. That is very pleasant in our dynamic world.”

“Blenddata provided a clear question formulation, a solid proposal, and then implemented it. This led not only to a sustainable IoT platform, but also to a lasting cooperation. Blenddata developed into an extension of our organisation in terms of data. We are very enthusiastic about the solution provided and the cooperation.”
