Carbon Savings.

Using data to find residents with overheated rooms, can lead to cost savings and carbon savings.

See above for a table comparing electricity usage and temperature over a Heating Season, and the clear carbon savings made.

Scenario.

Based on real customer data in the UK on electricity usage, and a scenario of:

  • 290 bedrooms heated over 200 days/annum.

  • £0.39 per kWh cost and an extra 1.5 kWh per hour consumed for each degree over 22°C.

Utopi Multisensor data alongside the heatmap in the Utopi platform helped a client see their average site temperature was 24.5°C, due to residents overheating their rooms.

Lack of heating control mean’t that residents were excessively heating their rooms, hence the reason for such high electricity usage.

Carbon Savings.

Upon informing site teams, they were able to install smart panel heaters and start to reduce the overall site temperature. In doing so:

The potential cost saving across a 200 day heating season was:

£84,000.

The potential carbon savings across a 200 day heating season:

85,000kg.
