CASE STUDY:
Public Healthcare Office in Hradec Králové, Czechia Retrofitted with a Smart Radiator Thermostat Solution
“With Vicki Radiator Thermostats and the Enterprise Platform, the building management gained full control over room heating—adjusting temperatures based on working hours schedule and lowering energy costs.”
Founded in 2011, Enerfis s.r.o. specializes in optimizing energy use, seeing efficiency as key to their customers' success. Their clients include developers, building owners, and companies in property, facility, and asset management, as well as businesses looking to reduce energy consumption in their operations.
Over time, Enerfis expanded its services to include building certifications (BREEAM, LEED, SBToolCZ), indoor climate improvement, and smart metering as well as provides Enectiva - tool for energy management. Using modern technologies, Enerfis meets the highest client expectations, seeing their satisfaction as the key to success.
The public healthcare administration building in Hradec Králové, Czechia faced multiple issues: outdated radiators without precise temperature control, poor insulation that made heating inefficient, and a lack of room-by-room management. This led to unnecessary energy waste—offices were often overheated during the day and underheated at night, while empty rooms remained needlessly heated. Without real-time data or individual control, energy costs remained high. There was an urgent need for a more efficient solution that would reduce the heating expenses without going into time-consuming and costly renovations.
Enerfis, our partner in smart building solutions, took on the challenge of improving energy efficiency in a public healthcare administration building. With a focus on providing long-term yet fast delivering results solutions they installed in all of the rooms in total of 132 Vicki LoRaWAN Thermostatic Radiator Valves within 24 hours and connecting them to the MClimate Enterprise platform. With the Vicki Thermostats, they were able to set and maintain precise temperature on a room-by-room basis and through the Enterprise to create schedules for the working times to maintain good temperature without overheating and outside of working times to maintain lower yet not too low temperature. On the platform, the management was able to track historical and real-life data of the measured and target temperature and humidity, update the devices with the FUOTA (Firmware Update Over the Air) function, and track battery life and valve opening among many other functionalities. Additionally, the MClimate Enterprise has a mold detection tab that provides valuable insights on parameters to prevent mold growth and alerts when the indicators are at a dangerous level. The thermostats are also able to detect the open windows in the room and lower the temperature to prevent energy waste.
The installation of MClimate Vicki Radiator Thermostats together with the Enterprise platform resulted in up to 30% savings from heating costs and improved the indoor environment for the whole staff. With an ROI of 18 months, Vicki Radiator Thermostat is a cost-effective yet powerful solution for retrofitting municipal buildings without going into major renovations. Dedicated to improving the CO2 footprint of old buildings in the long run, MClimate devices have a battery life of 10 years which is the longest-lasting on the market.
