Original Abstract

The European directive on energy efficiency requires that all meters in multi-apartment buildings installed after 25 October 2020 shall be remotely readable devices when technically feasible and cost-effective in terms of being proportionate to the potential energy savings. The European Commission Recommendation of 9 March 2012 on preparations for the roll-out of smart metering systems (2012/148/EU) explicitly mentions that smart metering predominantly processes personal data. This chapter recommends how to design a metering system that fully conforms to legal regulations. The main contribution is the recommendation of eight steps for data controllers that make metering systems legally compliant. Additionally, the chapter lists recommendations for smart meter manufacturers that remove the burden of being a controller of the processing. The recommendations apply to the distribution of electricity, water, gas, heat, cooling, and other energies. The chapter shows that the recommendations can be generalized for smart home deployments.
