by providing useful performance data to remote PCs, tablets and smartphones that can access, control and maintain heating and
which keeps the heating and cooling system operating at its optimum level for longer. Maintenance professionals can respond more quickly to faults and issues, keeping the end user completely satisfied with their heating and hot water systems. CONCLUSION We are only beginning to see what is possible with innovative heating and cooling solutions. The aim is to provide end-users with a comfortable, simple, productive heating and cooling solutions with minimal impact to the environment to help lower emissions and the future impact on the environment.
cooling systems remotely. This data can be stored in the cloud and made readily available for analysis to improve energy management. The increased accessibility of the system can improve maintenance and repair regimes, as well as helping end-users reduce their costs and energy consumption.
