This guide explains how to use FlatPeak to reduce energy costs for Heat-Pumps, HVAC and Water Heating systems by optimising operation based on electricity prices.
Without optimisation: 40 kWh → €6.50. With cost/time optimisation: 38 kWh → €3.78
Find periods if high energy price
Program your system
Asset Type | High Cost | Low Cost |
---|---|---|
Space Heating / Heat-Pumps | Lower flow temperature Widen deadband range Lower set point temperature Turn off boost function Ensure correct weather compensation | Restore deadband range to normal Reset flow temperature Restore set point temperature Consider pre-heating before high cost periods |
Air Conditioning | Increase refrigerant temperature Widen deadband range Raise set point temperature Turn off boost function | Restore deadband range to normal Reset refrigerant temperature Restore set point temperature Consider pre-cooling before high cost periods |
Water Heating | Do not heat (ECO mode if must) Avoid automatically reheating after water use | Heat to target temperature Perform bacterial heating cycle (if due) |
