Electric heating management for the accommodation owner
-
- The heating diary can be separately set for each apartment with heating patterns reflecting the occupants lifestyle, choosing different temperatures at different times of the day.
- Total minute-by-minute electricity consumption in kWh’s for each apartment separating total consumption from the power used to heat the apartment is displayed within the electric heating management system dashboard.
- The accommodation owner can set a monthly kWh allowance for each apartment, over and above that used for the heating. The tenant can go on-line to review their current kWh balance, and determine whether they are on-target for the month. This induces in the tenant a behavioural change and attitude to energy consumption.
- The accommodation owner can charge overage for tenants who go over their allotted limits by using the FairUsage billing system.
- Accurate hourly, daily, monthly, quarterly and annual electricity consumption reporting including costs and CO2 produced using the Carbon Trust’s own conversion factors.

- Display to the tenant the energy used by their apartment as a comparison to other apartment owners to aid them to be more energy efficient.
- Display to the tenant the energy used by their block of apartments as a comparison to other blocks to aid them to be more energy efficient.
- Run a competition to reward the most energy tenant with a prize.
