SiMAP OptiControl

Room-by-room control of heating provides comfort, reduces the carbon footprint, and simplifies maintenance.

SiMAP OptiControl™

Our latest duplex radio system provides entirely new opportunities for heating buildings equipped with water-circulating central heating, as well as for maintenance.

OptiControl consists of a wireless duplex measurement and control system, which is installed in the building to allow the indoor conditions to be controlled in every room. Installation is quick and does not require any expensive cabling or network construction. The system costs very little to maintain over the building’s life cycle.

 

The solution can provide unparalleled comfort, as it keeps room temperatures steady, with the desired warmth. Elimination overheating leads to energy savings and a smaller carbon footprint. The maintenance of the building’s heating system will be based on data and targeted actions, thanks to the data collected by the solution.

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is underpinned by new technological solutions. SiMAP’s technology meets the requirements set for smart systems in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and delivers the needs of tomorrow today.

The user interface shows the real-time status of the single room. Based on the data, targeted measures can be taken.

CLOSED; the radiator thermostat has closed the radiator valve after the room temperature has reached the set point value for some time.

CONTROLLED; the radiator thermostat is in the control range to reach the set point temperature

OPEN; the radiator thermostat has been fully open for some time to reach the set point temperature

UNKNOWN; the radiator valve has a malfunction and probably requires a service

CROSS; the radiators in same room don’t work in sync
