Our case studies

At Echo Court, London, Origin Housing and Hill Group worked with I-MEX and FairHeat to design and build a heat network which would operate at 60°C flow / 30°C return once residents moved in and beyond. Guru Hub 2 was installed across the development and performance data, displayed via Guru Pinpoint, was used ahead of handover to ensure good performance.

Network flow temperature reduced from 80°C to 65°C, resulting in much lower heat losses, as well as a 75% reduction in primary flow rate across the network, and a 90% reduction in pump energy consumption.

Octavia Housing has Guru Hub 2 installed across a number of sites. They recently decided to swap metering and billing provider on two of those sites. On the day of the change, the handover process took less than fifteen minutes.

At Quayside, Totnes, The Guinness Partnership decided to use our data analytics platform Guru Pinpoint to spot problems early and ensure the network remained at 60°C flow / 30°C return once residents moved in and beyond.

Data collected and analysed by Guru Systems prompted interventions that saw a 68% reduction in network heat loss and an 80% cost saving in pump room energy.

Guru Systems uncovered network losses of 3,350 kWh per dwelling per year leading to interventions that reduced heat network losses by 53% and saved residents £140 per year.

Guru Hub 2 was installed across the site, including in the commercial spaces, meaning that accurate bills could be calculated for the first time.

Using data collected by Guru Systems, Places for People were able to deliver a low temperature heat networks as per the design, and pass on cost savings to residents.
