Scenario.
Following a battery refresh of Utopi Multisensors at an electrically heated PBSA site, the Utopi Impact Team noticed two unoccupied studios were consistently the warmest spaces in the building. The Utopi Heatmap clearly highlighted these anomalies, indicating unnecessary heating while the rooms were empty.
Results.
Armed with Utopi Data, the site team visited both studios and switched off the heating. Immediate results were observed:
- Studio 1: Temperature dropped from 28.7 °C to 22.9 °C
- Studio 2: Temperature dropped from 32.3 °C to 23.7 °C
The impact was considerable, and over a 200-day heating season, could equate to:
