Energy Management
When looking to make a building, either domestic or commercial, as efficient as possible, installing renewable technologies is only the first step in maximising the efficiency of that property. Energy Management has an essential role not only in reducing your energy usage, but optimising the energy you do use.
When we talk about buildings with solar PV and batteries using and storing energy around tariff prices, it is the Energy Management System that can drive this for you. By monitoring external factors such as grid prices along side the daily patterns and requirements of your home, your EMS works around the clock to optimise your energy usage and minimise costs, so you don’t have to.
Our partners
At PBT Installations we typically recommend and install either the SOLARWATT Manager system, or LOXONE.
SOLARWATT is a leading brand of solar panel which it describes as ‘the beating heart’ of an energy system. SOLARWATT Manager is ‘the brain and nervous system’, keeping track of all components and energy consumers. Happily, it has been designed in collaboration with another of our preferred manufacturers, STIEBEL ELTRON, whose heat pumps are synonymous with efficiency and reliability. It therefore has the capabilities to manage all of your requirements for energy generation and storage, as well as optimising your heat and hot water generation.
LOXONE bills itself as a 360° solution, fulfilling your energy management requirements but coordinating them with smart living such as automated shading, sound, lighting and security. It achieves your exact needs by understanding, reacting and even predicting them, providing you with an unmatched living experience.
timing is key
In a world where energy independence is becoming more and more important, it is our view that your management of that energy should be everybody’s priority. If you are a self builder looking to create your own home, the design of your energy system should be given as much consideration as your architecture.
If you are looking to start incorporating some renewable technologies into your existing set up, then view the outlay as an investment and get some professional advise on where to start.
It is only if we start to look at our use of energy right now, and how we can optimise it, that we can start to achieve protection from spiralling energy costs and even start making a return on our investments.
