Multisite Thermal Comfort Reporting
Multisite Thermal Comfort Reporting
When you are managing a large portfolio there is an extensive amount of data from your buildings available to you. The challenge is creating something meaningful from this data to be able to make smarter decisions for your business.
Often hot and cold complaints can be logged and reactively managed through call outs as and when they happen, resolving the issue but after there has already been discomfort reported.
Through our predictive thermal comfort reporting, you can start to make proactive decisions around your estate based on each building’s performance against the outside temperature. Over time a profile is developed for each building, showing the average temperature performance against each external temperature.
An example of how this data is then displayed is below
Using a base temperature of 21 degrees (white), we display the temperatures above this on a sliding colour scale to red being the hottest, and similarly, we display the temperatures below this on a sliding scale to blue being the coldest.
As this profile builds, you can see which buildings consistently underperform against the 21-degree setpoint so you can start to look at weather forecasting, and seasonal changes to direct any investment and maintenance scheduling.
The sites highlighted within the black box below show that they don’t appear to have very much control over the internal temperature. The outside temperature and the internal temperature are pretty much moving together.
The sites highlighted within the below black box are able to heat effectively when the outside temperature gets colder but don’t appear to be able to cool effectively.
The below site can keep the building cool when the weather outside gets hotter, but can’t keep the building warm when the weather gets cooler.
We have a range of low-cost options to collect this data, usually, there are already sensors within your estate that we can pull this data from, however, where there aren’t, Thermatic can provide wireless temperature logging devices and utilise local weather station data for each site to provide a cost-effective data gathering solution to produce your thermal comfort report.
