Heatmap Analysis

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This is an article I wrote for Verv during their Seedrs fundraising campaign in March 2024. Link to article.

This January, we finished the installation of the first Verv Smart Isolator with our partner Nido, a Spanish heat pump provider. A Verv Smart Isolator was attached to an air-to-water heat pump and in less than a week, we provided actionable insights for the customer.

One of the tools that helps us understand the energy usage patterns is the energy-utilization heatmap. The heatmap visualizes the hourly energy consumption over different days (vertical axis) and times of day (horizontal axis). The intensity of colour - marked in the legend - represents the energy expenditure during each hour, with darker colours indicating higher usage.

Using Smart Isolators

This is an article I wrote for Verv in the August / September 2023 edition of the ACR Journal. Link to publication.

Having faced a winter of record-high energy prices and soaring inflation, minimizing energy bills is front of mind for many businesses around the UK. Energy monitoring and management is crucial in the fight against these high energy costs—by understanding how much energy your business uses, you can make informed decisions about how to reduce your energy consumption and save money on your utility bills.
