White paper published by Guru Systems: 'Do ambient temperature heat networks or shared ground loop arrays have to comply with the Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations?' Guru Systems has published a white paper examining the different heat network systems and whether it is required to fit meters and [...]
Guru Systems are offering funded pilots of Guru Heat Smart to housing associations or local authorities looking to improve gas boiler efficiency ahead of the coming winter. Read more below, or watch our informational webinar from Tuesday 9 August to find out more: What is Guru Heat [...]
Data from one home on a cold winter’s day in January shows how and why inefficient gas boilers end up costing residents more. Guru Heat Smart allows property managers to monitor and remotely control individual gas boilers or heat pumps. It also captures ambient temperature and humidity data to [...]
Guru system has been offering remote HIU configuration for over a year. We teamed up with Altecnic to create the Guru Integrate SATK32 - a collaboration which allows network managers to remotely view and change HIU settings. It's difficult to overstate just how much of an impact remote HIU [...]
Guru Systems and FairHeat are delighted to announce that our collaborative product Guru Verify has been shortlisted for the ‘Heat and Efficiency – Digital Innovation’ category at this year’s Decentralised Energy Awards. Guru Verify is a mobile and web app for quicker, more cost effective acceptance testing. Deliver site-wide acceptance testing [...]
The price of gas is the most obvious driver of energy bills, but one driver that is often overlooked is boiler efficiency. Inefficient boilers can cost residents over £500 more per year. On paper, boilers perform at around 90-91% efficiency, but field trials repeatedly show that performance in the [...]
We all know that it’s best to design heat networks for the lowest whole-life cost - but sometimes project budgets are so constrained that CAPEX must be kept to an absolute minimum. Recognising this reality is what inspired us to create Guru Hub III Core - monitoring hardware for [...]
Wholesale gas prices have risen sharply this winter and the impact on energy bills has been considerable. The price cap which protects customers who heat their homes using gas boilers had already risen by 12% in October, and will rise again by an unprecedented 54% from April. Despite the [...]
From January 2022, Guru Systems will be offering the following CPD Seminar: Capturing and interpreting heat network performance data for designers and developers Summary: Despite good intentions; many UK heat networks do not perform anywhere near their intended efficiency; with network oversizing contributing to the problem. Measuring and reporting on [...]
There’s a general misconception that local authorities will always choose a pay-as-you-go billing system for their residents living on heat networks. In fact, many choose credit billing. Some customers prefer to pay for the heat they use at the end of month, and for local authorities, credit billing can [...]
