Got questions? Here, you’ll find answers to common questions about Life, the Universe, KUTUN Remap integration and people behind it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is KUTUN Remap not?
KUTUN Remap is not just another remote monitoring system. While it includes this functionality, it offers so much more.
KUTUN Remap is not merely a central hub that integrates sensors. Although it provides this feature, it does more.
KUTUN Remap is not simply an optimizer that automatically adjusts HVAC systems in real-time. While it has this capability, it goes beyond.
Ok, what's the secret then?
The secret is skills.
Our ecosystem is fundamentally different. We do things no one else does, and we do them better and faster.
Do you replace our current building automation?
No.
We help your current building automation learn new tricks with our KUTUN Remap integration. Something that even HVAC manufacturers or automation companies does not know how to do.
How does Remap differ from your current automation?
In two key ways:
1. Tailored for the automotive industry:
Building automation solutions already exist, but KUTUN Remap adapts these systems 100% for automotive dealerships.
2. Predictive optimization:
- Most HVAC optimizers adjust based on trends [historical data].
- Some adjust in real-time.
- KUTUN Remap predicts the future by importing and analyzing data from Dealer Management Software (DMS) – including bookings, workloads, and work quality.
This unique approach helps you save even more energy and money, even if you already have an optimization solution in place.
What does DMS mean?
DMS stands for Dealer Management System – a software solution that helps dealerships manage daily operations, including service, warehouse, and sales activities.
Any other data points besides DMS?
Yes, all the necessary, such as:
- Air quality sensors
- Weather forecasts
- Current weather conditions
- Nord Pool [or other power exchanges]
- Renewable energy systems
- Grid operators [for consumption elasticity]
How much does Remap reduce HVAC costs?
With DMS-adjusted integration, HVAC costs can be reduced by approximately 40%.
Our automation is from from [......] and our DMS from [......], does Remap work with these?
We aim to help every dealership – not to be selective. In 99% of cases, the answer is yes.
If you fall into the dreaded 1%, you might need to replace your automation system anyway – and we can assist with that too!
Pricing starts at €22,500. Aren't you just going to press "Enter"?
Unfortunately, achieving these results requires more than a simple click. Here’s what the process involves:
- Several on-site visits
- Equipment installation
- System integrations
- Initial coding
- Manual HVAC performance optimization four times during the first operational year [during temperature extremes and seasonal changes] to help the system adapt quickly.
Does Remap have a monthly fee?
Yes, and we understand that subscription-based services can be frustrating. However, integrations require maintenance, and the people providing this service need their salaries too.
That said, your current monthly spending on brand awareness email services is likely higher than what Remap costs per month.
A 40% reduction? Sounds too good to be true.
Check out our case studies. Many of our clients were skeptical at first too.
Personal question: Why are you doing this?
I hate plastic, waste, and sh**ty solutions.
Renewables are a huge step forward, but they create massive amounts of waste at the end of their lifecycle. They also don’t significantly impact heating [fossil fuel consumption] and often have a long payback period.
What if, instead of creating oversized solar parks and pointlessly burning energy, we minimized dealership energy consumption? What if we used the harvested energy more wisely and designed optimally sized solar parks? In the end, this would mean less waste, and less emissions.
Also, I like winters.
I’ve been snowboarding all my life, and sometimes the whole KUTUN team likes to hit the ice track with our cars.
In 2024, I spent some time in Italy while working with local customers. During the winter, we crossed the Alps a few times, and what I saw from the plane window was really disturbing – we’ve got to stop this.
What’s your excuse for not helping the environment while also creating real savings?
Ok, I'm in! What do I do next?
