Save energy with artificial intelligence
Traditional heating systems fail to adjust to changing weather or the thermodynamic properties of the building. This results in overheating and poor indoor conditions. At the same time, heating systems are inadequately balanced in up to 75% of multifamily buildings.
You can save 10–20% of a typical building’s energy cost. Sensors installed in apartments enable Leanheat’s artificial intelligence to learn the building’s thermodynamic behaviour and to optimally control the HVAC system. Heating is always optimized regardless of changes in weather or in the building’s properties, which change as it ages. Together with proactive fine-tunings Leanheat provides permanent energy efficiency to all multifamily buildings.
Lower energy costs by avoiding power peaks
Often consuming less is not the only way to cut energy costs. The capacitive properties of buildings can be exploited to use them as energy batteries. Leanheat shifts your consumption of energy to periods when it is the most economical to use.
Leanheat can reduce the maximum power usage by 10–30% without compromising living comfort. Experience from Finland shows that a 20% cut in the peak power requirement typically means 3–10% savings in addition to savings in energy consumption. Our artificial intelligence learns the domestic consumption profile of hot domestic water and adjusts the heating to charge and discharge energy accordingly. This balances the building’s power usage and also contributes to a greener world.
Savings in maintenance costs
Humidity problems in apartments may result in structural damage that is expensive to repair. Likewise, malfunctions of the heating system should be fixed before anything actually breaks down.
Leanheat creates up to 30% savings in technical maintenance costs for buildings by providing accurate predictive problem detection. The AI-based control automates technical maintenance tasks while minimizing failures, repair times and site visits. With Leanheat, you can send the right team with the right tools to fix a specific problem with no need for extra measurements or analysis.
Better indoor climate for residents
Fluctuating indoor temperatures and humidity problems are often reasons for uncomfortable living conditions and may even be a threat to the residents’ health.
Unlike many competing energy efficiency systems that simply lower temperatures, Leanheat proactively maintains the desired indoor conditions. Humidity data from the apartment sensors is used to ensure sufficient ventilation and to proactively report potential risks and malfunctions. When Leanheat delivers the optimal temperature and humidity levels, your residents’ satisfaction is improved.
