Where is digital heat suited?

Digital heat is a functional heating method with thousands of operating hours demonstrated in a variety of environments. There are a few considerations when thinking of whether digital heat could help you save money on your heating. Let's break this down.

What are the potential limitations?

Firstly let's look at the limitations. If there is already a heating method that is helping to save on energy spend and heating costs, such as geothermal energy or a heat pump, then most likely digital heat is not able to bring further savings. Also, industrial buildings that utilise waste heat produced from an industrial process might not be able to attain savings either.

When it comes to size of the area that needs to be heated, our solution is currently aimed for buildings that have at minimum an annual heating need of ca. 500 mWh. This might translate to a ca. 2,000m² residential building or a 4,000m² industrial building, dependant on the building's technical details.

Building type suitability

We have clients across multiple building types such as residential, industrial and service sector. Digital heat has overall been shown to achieve savings alongside district heat, gas, oil and electricity as methods of heating.

Digital heat is especially good in environments where heat is needed during summer as well e.g. in the form of domestic hot water. Such buildings could be hotels, gyms or other sport facilities, spas and swimming halls.
