Room-Level Heating Control.
For Any System.
Heating Is One of The Largest Controllable Costs in Residential Accommodation. And One of the Hardest to Manage.
Residents arrive with different habits. Systems run on schedules regardless of occupancy. Energy prices fluctuate. And without room-level control, operators have no way to identify which spaces are overheating, which residents are driving above-average consumption, or where waste is accumulating. The result: energy spend that is higher than it needs to be and difficult to justify or reduce at portfolio scale.
Utopi Smart Energy Control devices give operators the tools to set boundaries, detect waste, reduce consumption, and manage behaviour – all from The Utopi Platform, without disrupting residents.
Four Devices. Every Heating System Covered.
One device for every building type – wet systems, electric, retrofit, and fan coil. All centrally managed from The Utopi Platform.

Measurable Savings. Validated in Deployment.
Smart Panel Heater proof of concept: 5.3kWh/bed/day reduction in one month
Utopi deployed Smart Panel Heaters across 10 spaces in an overheated PBSA asset for a one-month proof of concept, setting a maximum temperature of 22°C via the platform. The results were clear within four November weeks. Mean room temperature dropped from 25.3°C to 22.8°C against a near-identical external temperature (6.2°C vs 6.6°C). Mean electricity consumption per room per day fell from 11.2kWh to 5.9kWh – a reduction of 5.3kWh/bed/day. The proportion of rooms above 24°C dropped from 36% to 8%. Extrapolated across a full asset and heating season, the estimated saving is £120–200 per bed.
