Smart Heating

In a 300-square-meter office building owned by CURRENTA, the heating system was running at a high setting regardless of actual room usage or the outside temperature. This was due to a lack of transparency regarding room usage, air quality, and energy consumption.

• No demand-based control
  The heaters ran continuously at 22–24 °C—regardless of the time of day, the weather, or whether anyone was home.
• No indoor air quality monitoring
  Neither temperature trends nor CO₂ or particulate matter levels were recorded or analyzed.
• High energy consumption, no concern for CO₂ emissions
  Large amounts of heating energy each year resulted in several tons of CO₂—with no way to optimize or reduce it.
• Flat-rate billing
  Because of the flat-rate billing, more heat was used than necessary, and the potential for savings went unnoticed.

Achieve sustainability goals through heating optimization and air quality tracking in just two weeks.

• Retrofitting with smart heating actuators
  16 actuators regulate the heating according to demand—based on temperature, occupancy, and time profiles.
• Sensors for CO₂, temperature, and particulate matter
  Eight networked air quality sensors provide precise data for greater comfort, a better indoor climate, and targeted ventilation.
• Dashboard for Transparency and Control
  A central dashboard displays temperature trends, operating hours, energy consumption, and CO₂ levels for the 300-square-meter office space.
• Efficient data transmission via LoRaWAN
  The integration of existing infrastructure (Conneqtive) enables secure and scalable connectivity—even for future buildings.

• An average temperature drop of 3–4°C, from 23–24° to 20°
• Energy consumption is expected to be 30% lower thanks to intelligent control
• A measurable contribution to achieving ESG and sustainability goals
