Ecohouse - metering and controls

6/12/2023

 
I had previously intended to install electronic controls on all the radiators to allow for zonal heating, but after some research opted for a single Vaillant control system instead, which works well.
The installation also included a Sontex Supercal Heat Meter to measure the heat delivered by the heat pump.

An Eastron electricity meter measures the electricity to the heat pump Along with the heat meter, this has allowed accurate monitoring of heat pump performance and Seasonal Coefficient of Performance,
COP = 2.5 for hot water and 3.5 overall.
The Passivliving data gateway sent energy data to BEIS as part of the project for two years.

    As a sustainability professional, I wanted to improve my 70-year-old detached home's energy performance certificate (EPC) to an A rating.
