Home / How Vicki - MClimate’s Smart Thermostatic Valve Increases Comfort And Lowers Energy Bills In Several Schools in Denmark

Our client

Building type: Schools

Client Name: CLIMIFY

Location: Høje-Taastrup, Denmark

Building parameters: 3 buildings from the early 1900s

Challenges

One of CLIMIFY's customer, the Høje-Taastrup Minicipality needed support with three old school buildings from the early 1900s. Despite some renovations on the rooftop, the buildings lacked wall insulation and control over open windows and doors during ventilation resulting in a considerable amount of energy waste and higher utility costs. Adding to the challenge was the fact that there were multiple types of radiators installed in different periods.

Solution

CLIMIFY provided a solution by installing MClimate's Vicki LoRaWAN® Smart Radiator Thermostats, along with sensors from other providers for CO2 monitoring and open/close window detection. Vicki LoRaWAN® Smart Radiator Thermostats allowed the school's staff to set individual heating schedules for each room based on occupancy and historical data. The heating system was operated remotely adding MClimate Vicki Anti-vandal protective case, ensuring that the manual control of valves was kept secure and inaccessible to students, which had been a primary concern of the school's management staff. With the implementation of MClimate's TRVs and protective cases, Høje-Taastrup Municipality was able to achieve up to 20% reduction in heating costs and gain real-life data on the consumption patterns to further improve upon. Regulating the temperature based on the individual needs of the rooms made the occupants environment more comfortable while in the same time reduced the carbon foot print of the buildings.
