EcoSync offers Smart Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) that are battery-free and maintenance-free, designed for commercial buildings. Founded by Oxford University Engineers, our PropTech business delivers dynamic energy management solutions, aimed at reducing energy waste by halting heating in unoccupied rooms. Our technology, which collects data every 5 minutes during heating periods, adapts temperature based on occupancy and need, achieving 25-50% energy savings. This frequent data collection is vital for long-term sustainability planning.
Central to EcoSync's system is a centrally controlled management platform, allowing building managers to oversee and adjust heating settings remotely. Each TRV can be individually controlled via QR codes, providing flexibility and ease of use. Additionally, the system includes a carbon meter, enabling users to monitor and manage their carbon footprint actively.
A study at Oxford University showed that up to 40% of heating energy is wasted in empty rooms. With less than 1% of commercial buildings equipped with smart heating controls, and the rise of hybrid work patterns, this issue is worsening.
Smart technology, common in domestic settings, faces scalability challenges in commercial buildings. EcoSync offers a high-impact, low-cost solution for energy managers to reduce carbon emissions and costs, and gain valuable data for decarbonisation projects.
Battery-dependent products, requiring frequent maintenance, are not ideal for large-scale commercial use. EcoSync's TRVs, installable in just 60 seconds and maintenance-free, overcome these challenges, making them suitable for extensive facilities like student accommodations.
