Heat network designers, developers, consultants, and operators are invited to a series of webinars that will demonstrate the use of smart Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in driving higher efficiency for major cost and carbon savings.
Heat network specialist - Switch2 Energy is hosting the free 30-minute ‘bitesize’ webinars to introduce the latest innovation in connected heat interface unit (HIU) technology. Delegates can learn more about specifying, installing, commissioning, and operating connected electronic HIUs, which are helping to relieve the impact of higher gas prices, while driving carbon reduction.
open protocol and IoT technology
Switch2’s new connected ICON HIU uses an open protocol and IoT technology to provide full connectivity
Switch2’s new connected ICON HIU uses an open protocol and IoT technology to provide full connectivity, to benefit the energy center and wider heat network. This technology is already being used across 15 schemes, where it is helping to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40% and improve energy efficiency by up to 35%.
Ian Allan, the Head of Market Strategy for Switch2 Energy, said “Connected HIUs offer significant benefits over traditional mechanical versions, and advances in digital technology mean they are price competitive."
Net zero transition
Ian Allan adds, "Connected HIUs have a critical role to play in the transition to net zero also helping heat network operators to reduce energy & operational costs, improve maintenance and provide better customer service. Join our webinars to find out more about this revolution in communal heat network control and performance.”
The webinar series includes:
- Wednesday, 2 March (noon) 2022: Specifying an HIU.
- Wednesday, 16 March (noon) 2022: Key features of an HIU to look out for during specification.
- Tuesday, 29th March (noon): Installation and commissioning of electronic connected HIUs.
- Wednesday, 13th April (noon): Features of HIUs that bring down the cost of operating heat networks.
