Problem
Non-residential buildings are often heated constantly, even when unoccupied, leading to significant energy waste. Traditional heating systems lack the responsiveness to adapt to fluctuating occupancy patterns, such as weekends, holidays, remote work, or variable work schedules. This results in unnecessary heating costs and hinders efforts to achieve sustainability goals.
Solution
Heatmanager offers a smart heating management platform that optimizes heating systems in non-residential buildings based on actual usage. The platform uses occupancy detection and user-defined heating plans to ensure spaces are only heated when occupied. By centrally controlling and evaluating heating across all buildings and rooms, Heatmanager reduces energy waste and heating costs. The system integrates various thermostats and sensors, providing a tailored solution for different room types and usage scenarios, including offices, classrooms, and common areas.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes managers of office buildings, administrative buildings, schools, kindergartens, and other non-residential properties seeking to reduce heating costs and improve energy efficiency.
