About Inscio Roofs

Smarter, more sustainable, better

Imagine this: you bring a car to the garage for maintenance. The mechanic stares worriedly at the shiny paint, runs his hands over the surface and takes some pictures of it. Then he walks back excitedly and concludes that the engine is broken and needs to be replaced.  

That sounds absurd, doesn't it? And yet that's pretty much what happens on the roof. We think it can and should be different.

Inscio Roofs instruments roofs with IoT sensors. This allows us to monitor the condition of roofs better than with periodic inspections and also manage them more cost-effectively. 

Inscio leverages KPN's reliable and flexibly scalable LoRA infrastructure.

Innovative rooftop sensors and data

Inscio provides a software suite, completely web-based so can be used anywhere, to look at the condition of the roof in real time. Does that mean someone always has to log in to look at the problems? No! We have smart signaling based on roof algorithms, automatically Inscio users are informed about possible anomalies and risks.  

Property owners, as well as roofers and manufacturers, obviously do not want leaks and damage during the warranty period. Yet differences in temperature and humidity can lead to surprises after only a few years. Inscio ensures that you can intervene exactly in time, neither too early nor too late, through virtually real-time sensor data and signaling on deviations and problems

Property owners perform condition measurements to determine the condition of maintenance-sensitive elements. So too for the roof. This inspection process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and only marginally objective. 

Inscio sensors provide objective readings, i.e. an actual picture, of the roof remotely. There is no, or much less, need to inspect roofs and therefore delivers a huge reduction in movements and thus emissions. 

We see from the data whether moisture is accumulating in the roof, whether the roof on top is dirty but also what the thermal resistance is in the roof. Based on that data, we alert our customers to risks before damage occurs. We enable our customers to intervene before things go wrong.  

Our customers say

 "Until last fall, we informed clients and partners about expected roof behavior based on practical experience. Now we provide objective measurement data"

 

Laurens van Wylick - Isomix insulating mortars

"The data we collect and analyze with Inscio Roofs' sensors helps us get all stakeholders to look at construction in a more sustainable way. But also better calculate the life-cycle costs of alternative roof structures for clients and consultants."

Eduard Beekhuizen - Babylon

"We offer insight in places where there never was insight."

'Roofs are increasingly being used as living space (roof gardens), the installation of PV panels and the collection and gradual discharge of rainwater (retention roofs). The roof is found space. But that also leads to enormous risks.'Â
