CASE STUDY INTEGRATED SETUP
Smart heating is growing in popularity amid the tide of rising utility bills. As well as allowing you to keep a close eye on energy usage, an intelligent, internet-enabled setup allows you to manage the temperature and timings of radiators/underfloor heating areas remotely, offering both comfort and convenience. Some can even be integrated with mechanical and natural ventilation systems for total climate control. “With a smart system, you can incorporate individual zone control. This means each room can have its own temperature setting and schedule,” says Dan Milne, managing director at Wiise.
You can take this a step further with the most powerful solutions, which can learn your daily routine and even check what the weather is doing, adjusting the settings automatically to save energy by only warming rooms to the desired level. “Plus, if your smart thermostat has Geolocation alerts, it can recognize when you’re home and when you’re away,” says Gavin Murray from British Gas. “So, you can set your thermostat to turn the heating on when you’re on your way home from work.”
