Abstract: A method for determining an energy efficiency of a piece of real estate, which includes: determining a volume flow and a first temperature of a heat transfer medium, which flows from at least one heating device to at least one heat transfer device; determining at least one second temperature in the piece of real estate with the aid of at least one temperature sensor; and calculating an energy efficiency of the piece of real estate based on the volume flow, the first temperature and the second temperature.

Abstract: A method for detecting a leak, having at least the following steps: a) capturing a flow volume of a liquid through a liquid line during a multiplicity of liquid removal processes; b) comparing the flow volumes of the liquid in the respective liquid removal processes with an alarm value; c) outputting an alarm signal if the flow volume of the liquid in a liquid removal process exceeds the alarm value; d) adapting the alarm value on the basis of a frequency of the occurrence of the flow volumes of the liquid in the liquid removal processes above an adaptation value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting users of a sanitary installation, with which at least one sanitary sensor system is associable. At least one use profile is detected for at least one user of the sanitary installation via the at least one sanitary sensor system in a first timeframe. The specified use profile is associated with at least one specified user in a database. The use profile of the sanitary installation is monitored by the at least one sanitary sensor system in a second timeframe. A specific use profile of at least one specified user is identified from the use profile of the sanitary installation, an individual use of at least one specified user is ascertained from the use profile of the sanitary installation, and/or an ascertained individual use of at least one specified user is stored in the database.

Abstract: A method of locating a leak on at least one liquid line having at least the following steps: closing the at least one liquid line with a first valve; opening a second valve so that a signal gas flows from a signal gas source via the second valve into the at least one liquid line, and from the at least one liquid line out of the leak. A device for locating a leak on at least one liquid line is also provided.
