The HouseHeat Door & Window
Sensor consists of a
transmitter and a separate magnetic contact. The HouseHeat Door
& Window
Sensor monitors when a door or a window is opened or closed and
transmits that
information to a HouseHeat Wireless Room Thermostat.
When integrated with a HouseHeat
Wireless Room Thermostat
and HouseHeat Wireless Valve Motors, the HouseHeat Door &
Window Sensor
enables the temperature in the room in which it is installed to be
automatically
reduced when a window or door is opened in order to save energy – for
example,
while the room is aired. When the door or window is closed, the Room
Thermostat
automatically increases the temperature back to the
original commanded
value.
The integrated receiver in the
HouseHeat Room Thermostat is
capable of receiving the status signals from up to four HouseHeat Door
&
Window Sensors indicating when doors and/or windows in the room or zone
have
been opened or closed. The HouseHeat Door & Window Sensors
transmit status
changes to the Thermostat in intervals of approximately one minute, and
the
Thermostat is thus able to react very quickly to the opening or closing
of a
door or window (on average within half a minute).
This item consists of one FHT 80TF
Door & Window Sensor.
Additional valves and thermostats can be bought separately.
Control the temperature of each room independently
Househeat is a fantastic new set of products that allow you to control
the temperature of each room in your school independently to save you
money. As long as you have Thermostatic Radiator Valves on your
radiators you can fit Househeat in minutes and begin cutting
your heating bill straight away. The equipment is modular so you can
start by installing it in one room to try it out and then expand it to
control the radiators in each room of your home.
At its simplest, the HouseHeat system consists of a thermostat unit
that you mount
on the wall of your classroom or studyroom, which communicates
wirelessly with a
motorised valve that you install on your radiator. When the temperature
of the room reaches the level you have set, the valve will turn the
radiator off, and when the temperature of the room starts to drop
again, the valve turns the radiator back on.
If you have more than one radiator in a room, you can buy additional
valves, and the thermostat will talk wirelessly to all of them. You can
then repeat this setup (one wireless thermostat and one or more
radiator valves) in each room of your school or college and they will
all work
independently. The thermostat units contain digital clocks, which allow
you to
set each room to have different temperatures at different
times of the day.
The valve motors are designed to fit nearly all thermostatic
radiator valves. The process of removing the top of the existing
radiator valve and screwing on the new motorised valve is simple,
quick, and needs no plumbing skills. If your radiators do not have
thermostatic radiator valves then you will need to install these first
(which is a short job for a plumber).
HouseHeat can cut your heating bill substantially
The benefit of HouseHeat is that it will control the temperature of
each room in which it is installed without any intervention by you. Ask
yourself how often you adjust the settings on your radiator. Do you
turn down the temperature settings in each room at night or when the
classroom is no longer used, and then turn
them back up again in the morning? With the built in timer the
HouseHeat can allow the temperature of the room to fall to a lower
level at night (saving you money) and then bring it back up again in
the morning. The system could be set so you have warmth in the
classrooms all day, but warm up the dining hall only for lunch time.
All of these changes reduce the amount of time that your boiler is
burning fuel to heat parts of your school unnecessarily.
Thermostatic Radiator Valves were a big step forward from manual (tap
style) radiator valves, but they have some big flaws.
- Firstly, they measure the temperature right next to the
radiator. This measurement is influenced by the heat of the radiator,
and it may be very different from the temperature of the room where you
are sitting or sleeping.
- The second problem is that thermostatic radiator valves
still need to be adjusted manually. Can you tell what temperature your
room will be at if you set your thermostatic radiator valves at setting
"3"?
- If you have more than one radiator in the room it is
difficult to know how to adjust them best to give you the right room
temperature.
- How many of us turn down the radiators before leaving a
room in the afternoon in order to save energy and then back up
again in the morning?
The HouseHeat products solve all of these problems with a
simple and quick replacement of the thermostatic radiator valve head
with a motorised valve head and a separate wall mounted thermostat
unit.
