The first in a new generation of smarter heating controls, the Passiv Smart Thermostat can reduce heating bills by 30% and increase the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of a heat pump by 17% as verified by Energy Saving Trust. It can also optimise to time-of-use tariffs and rooftop solar generation.
Once installed, it learns how a home heats up and cools down and how a heating system behaves. It then uses local weather forecasts to calculate the optimal way to meet a homeowner’s comfort requirements while optimising the heat pump’s flow temperature. This removes the need for an installer to set a weather compensation curve, taking the guesswork out of heat pump installation.
Users can also participate in Greener Grid Payments, the UK’s first automated Demand Side Response service for heat pump owners, allowing them to get paid up to £100 a year for using their heat pumps.
