- Lead organisation: Passiv UK
- Heat Pump Ready grant value: £989,691
Project Overview
Consumers have currently limited access to optimised heat pump operation due to a lack of heat pump-specific smart-controls.
Passiv’s smart thermostat (PST) directly modulates flow temperatures based on weather conditions, set points, thermal inertia, and costs to improve heat pump efficiency. New functionality will offer standalone connectivity and integration with the smart meter infrastructure, ensuring that all customer groups can benefit from energy flexibility services. As a result, consumers will benefit from heat pumps that automatically optimise against their electricity tariff and provide a fully automated response to demand flexibility opportunities without the need for consumer intervention or any loss of comfort.
