What the Project Is
Vilisto – Digital Heat Management transforms the way energy is consumed in non-residential buildings by automating and optimizing heating. With up to 32% savings on heating costs and CO2 emissions, this innovative system is designed to bring real-time intelligence into building operations. By combining self-learning digital radiator thermostats, an online energy controlling platform, and adaptive hydraulic balancing, the system automatically adjusts heating based on room usage. It’s a digital, fully automated heat management solution that not only ensures maximum energy efficiency but also preserves user comfort… truly paving the way for a smarter, more sustainable future.
Main Benefit
- Digital, fully automated heat management: Save up to 32% on heating costs by leveraging intelligent thermostats, real-time monitoring of heat consumption, and adaptive hydraulic balancing.
- Low-investment measure with short amortization period: The system pays off within a few years, with rising CO2 prices and government subsidies further shortening the payback time.
- Immediate and sustainable climate protection effect: Cut down CO2 emissions without any structural modifications, delivering instant energy savings and long-term environmental benefits.
Digital Automation & Self-Learning Systems
The heart of this project lies in its intelligent self-learning and digital thermostats. These devices come equipped with a patented presence detection system that senses when and how individual rooms are used… triggering heating only when necessary. The sensors and integrated algorithms learn from building usage patterns over time, ensuring that every room reaches its optimal temperature without wasting energy. This dynamic approach adds an engaging, almost conversational ease to managing a building’s climate, making the technology feel both adaptive and surprisingly intuitive.
Adaptive Hydraulic Balancing
An equally compelling feature is the adaptive hydraulic balancing. The self-learning control system detects over- and under-supply at individual radiators and harmonizes the heating speeds throughout the building—all without the need for manual adjustments. This refined balancing act ensures that each radiator receives just the right amount of heat, promoting balanced energy consumption in every corner of the building… a subtle yet powerful tool in achieving an efficient and comfortable indoor climate.
Digital Energy Controlling and Data Protection
Complementing the intelligent heating controls is a robust digital energy controlling system based on the consumption and savings monitor (VEM). By connecting to digital heat meters, the system offers transparency through real-time evaluation of heating energy consumption, turning data into actionable insights. In addition, the entire network adheres to TÜV-certified data protection practices following the “Privacy by Design” principle. This means that all data is managed in a GDPR-compliant manner, ensuring secure and reliable operation while offering users a high level of trust and accountability.
