Project

The town of Taunusstein has already tried out many systems in the town hall in order to optimally control the installed wood chip heating system – but the full savings potential could only be exploited with the intelligent individual room control system from vilisto. Thanks to the integrated sound, light and motion sensors, the digital radiator thermostats recognize when a room is actually occupied and only heat it fully automatically as required.

However, it was not only the innovative technology that convinced the city, but also the low-investment price model. Relying on the cost-benefit analysis prepared in advance by vilisto was the right decision: As the weather-adjusted savings result confirms, the investment pays off not only for climate protection, but also from a financial perspective. After just 2.6 years, equipping the town hall with the self-learning thermostats from vilisto has already paid for itself.

As the energy-saving solution impressed not only the building management team but also the staff at the town hall just a few weeks after installation, plans are already underway to equip other properties.

*Forecast values based on weather-adjusted heat metering in accordance with VDI 3807 & 4710 under constant framework conditions.

The quantitative calculation by vilisto was able to provide concrete figures to back up the results of our own energy management systems after just a short time: we have reduced consumption in the town hall by 17.3% without any loss of comfort for users. A great result that we are very proud of!
