Save your housing company’s heating costs with smart optimisation
Optimal Heating is our new, innovative heating solution for apartment buildings and row houses. With Optimal Heating, the buildings owned by our customers consume heating energy more smartly and at the most affordable hours, fully automatically and without affecting the daily life of the residents.
The housing company reaps the full benefits of Optimal Heating
- The energy price is €1.25 per MWh (incl. VAT 25.5%) lower than in the current Monthly Heating Property basic product.
- Compared to the Monthly Heating Property product, the housing company saves on average 4–5% in heating costs, as Optimal Heating’s learning algorithm proactively controls the housing company’s energy consumption based on the weather at that moment and weather forecasts.
- The housing company’s energy usage is optimised to times when more affordable, renewable energy is available. In this way, your housing company can contribute to the green transition. In addition, the temporal optimisation of energy usage and production will reduce heating production costs for all Helsinki residents.
How does Optimal Heating work?
In Optimal Heating, the housing company’s heating energy consumption is directed to hours that are more affordable for the customer and when there is a large supply of heating energy available. This control is carried out by a connection device which is installed in the housing company’s existing heating system and uses a learning algorithm. The unit controls the heating proactively, interpreting the properties’ characteristics and taking into account the outdoor temperature, local weather conditions and weather forecasts. This allows us to reduce the overheating of buildings, especially in the spring and autumn. The average annual energy savings is 5%.
In the daily life of the housing company’s residents, optimisation can be seen as the elimination of unnecessary overheating, resulting in more comfortable living conditions and lower heating costs.
How does Helen benefit from the optimisation service?
As a company, we are committed to making our energy production carbon neutral by 2030. By preventing overheating and optimising production and consumption, we can reduce the need for energy production and schedule the production of thermal energy so that it uses renewable forms of energy more. Overall, we reduce both our own and our customers’ CO2 emissions, which contributes to achieving our carbon neutrality goal.
