Does the room temperature drop when energy is saved?

No. The saving is made by evening out: heating is lowered where the flats are too warm and raised where they are cold. Total consumption falls, because the building is no longer heated according to its coldest flat.

What does building automation mean?

Building automation is a system that measures the conditions in a building and, on that basis, controls heating, ventilation and domestic water. It replaces manual adjustments with continuous control based on measurement data, and it sends an alarm when something deviates from normal.

When is it worth renewing a housing company's building automation?

Renewal is worthwhile when spare parts are no longer available for the system, when alarms come repeatedly, when room temperatures vary between stairwells, or when heating costs are higher than in comparable buildings. Often a partial modernisation is enough: the old actuators and sensors are connected to a new controller and to remote monitoring without replacing the whole system.

Do you work outside Espoo?

We work in Espoo, Helsinki, Vantaa and Kauniainen, and elsewhere in Uusimaa from Kirkkonummi to Porvoo and from Lohja to Loviisa. Kiinteistöpilvi is also available elsewhere in Finland through our partners.

How do I get started?

Call 010 325 4300 or leave a contact request. We will agree on a survey visit free of charge, after which you receive a written proposal on the measures and their effect on the heating bill.

Building automation without cold flats

In a housing company, energy is usually saved by lowering the temperature. We save it by measuring.

Why a building is cold and too warm at the same time

In most housing companies, heating is controlled with a single heating curve for the whole building. The curve is set so that even the coldest flat is warm enough. All the other flats are then heated too much, and the extra heat is aired out of the window. When someone wants to save energy, the curve is lowered — and the first complaint comes from the coldest flat.

Measurement solves this. When the temperature is known from every stairwell, and where needed from every flat, heating can be evened out: lowered where there is too much and raised where there is too little. Total consumption falls, because the building is no longer heated according to its coldest flat. That is exactly how we work.

HK-Säätö installs sensors in the flats and adjusts heating, ventilation and domestic water according to what is actually happening in the building. We monitor the temperature of the domestic water continuously so that it stays within the limits required by the health authorities. A deviation raises an alarm. The saving is taken where energy is wasted, not from the residents' warmth.

What we do

Turnkey building automation

We design and deliver the automation for heating, ventilation and domestic water in new buildings and renovations. Existing devices that work are kept, and new ones are added only where they are needed.

Energiavahti

Energiavahti follows heat, electricity and water consumption continuously and raises an alarm on deviations. A leak or overheating reaches us before it reaches the invoice.

Alarm and monitoring service

The automation raises an alarm to our on-call service around the clock when heat distribution, ventilation or a pump fails. We handle the situation before the resident notices.

Maintenance and upkeep

With a maintenance contract, the automation devices, software and backups stay in order throughout their life cycle. We also maintain systems installed by others.

Operator services

Our own mobile and broadband connections for the remote access of machines and devices. They are included in the full service and can also be ordered separately.

District heating hybrid connections

We combine heat recovery with district heating, controlled by a single automation system. District heating stays, purchased energy goes down.

Kiinteistöpilvi shows how many degrees too many the building has

Kiinteistöpilvi is HK-Säätö's own remote management service. It controls heating and ventilation according to the weather forecast, the building's measured heat demand and the price of electricity. Wireless sensors can be added to the flats, which refines the control down to individual flats. The property manager and the maintenance company see the conditions, the consumption and the saving in a browser, and can make adjustments without visiting the building. Measurement data is kept from one year to the next, so a freezing day this winter can be compared with the equivalent day last winter.

The conditions guarantee means that flat temperatures stay within the agreed limits also after energy saving measures. If measurement shows a deviation, we correct it with an adjustment at no separate charge. The guarantee requires that the heating and automation systems are in working order and are used as designed.

How a project proceeds

A checkWe go through the building's HVAC technology and how it is connected to measurement and remote monitoring.
A proposalWe draw up a written proposal: what will be changed, what will be kept and what the change will affect.
The workWe carry out the changes and add new devices only where they are needed.
TrainingWe train the building's key people to use the system and connect the building to our remote monitoring.

Who we serve

For the housing company board

The board has to decide about heating between two bad options: pay too much or listen to complaints about cold flats. From us you get a third.

For the property manager

One view of all the buildings you look after, and alarms straight to the right person. You can take numbers to the board, not estimates.

For the maintenance company

A remote connection to the buildings reduces unnecessary visits and speeds up fault diagnosis.

For the property owner and the developer

Automation designed for decades of use, and maintainable without supplier lock-in.

For the public sector

The same measurement-based control works in schools, day-care centres and office buildings, where hours of use vary and an empty building is not worth heating at full power.

Why HK-Säätö

1991Founded
17Employees
AAACredit rating · Dun & Bradstreet risk class 1, 2026

Since 1991. The same company, the same ownership and 17 employees. Some of the buildings we delivered in the 1990s are still under our maintenance. We have updated their systems along the way, and the customer relationship has not been broken.
Measurement before adjustment. We do not lower the temperature on the basis of an estimate. Every change is based on measurement data collected in the building.
No oversizing. We recommend what is enough for the building. Existing devices are kept when they work.
Equipment we know, and a warehouse it comes from. We work with Fidelix and Ouman Ouflex systems and keep automation devices and circulation pumps in stock, so a spare part is usually on the shelf rather than on order.
AAA credit rating. HK-Säätö has held the highest AAA credit class for several years, and Dun & Bradstreet has placed the company in its lowest risk class in 2026.
