One of the current key challenges in the housing sector is how to tackle the move from traditional fossil fuel sources to new, renewable, and low carbon solutions such as air source heat pumps for heating residential homes. equipped training facility in Ireland, as well as at some distributor
With the demand for renewable technologies set to rise, it is crucial that there is an understanding at all
levels of available renewable and smart technologies and their strengths and weaknesses. This is also true when it comes to installation and servicing, as these systems will need annual maintenance checks and companies will need to know how to install and service correctly to maximise their own business potential, as well as ensuring that their customers benefit from maximum energy efficiencies. Fortunately, we are seeing an increase in many housing providers, consultants, distributors, and installers who recognise the importance of such proficiencies and are taking advantage of appropriate training from manufacturers. Most housing associations, housing developers and installers have found that attending centres equipped with fully functioning examples of the latest renewable heating technologies (such as air source heat pumps) can significantly improve skills, awareness, and competence. Furthermore, signing up for courses that use real-life renewable products seems to strike an even greater chord with attendees. As a manufacturer whose ethos is about
sustainability and the environment and invests heavily in R&D, Panasonic offers training to installers and housing providers regarding the use of IoT to help the longevity of its products, systems, and maintenance of its products. Housing providers can easily adjust the temperature and monitor units in several properties and view the current room temperature and energy performance in each of their properties. Remote access enables service-companies to offer ongoing maintenance contracts to housing providers from a remote location. Maintenance teams can be engaged in predictive fine-tuning, which keeps the heating and hot water system operating at its optimum level for longer. This minimises the likelihood of a system break-down by anticipating maintenance and means a longer lifespan for the system. Service-companies can respond more quickly to faults and issues, keeping the end-user completely satisfied with their heating systems.
