It might seem
surprising, but heating thermostats control up to half of our monthly energy bill.
With energy prices continually rising, shouldn’t we look for more effective
ways to reduce our energy consumption? The “Nest” intelligent thermostat might
be a good solution for all of us! Nest claims that it can cut home heating
costs by more than 30% compared to a classic thermostat, by making the temperature
in the room exactly fit to our preferences. Once installed, the intelligent
thermostat just asks a few questions about your heating preferences, after
which one can start using the thermostat as he would do normally: turning it on
when coming in, turning it off when going out. The longer you use the
thermostat, the more it will learn from your preferences and behaviors. As a
result, the Nest thermostat will create an adapted heating schedule, which fits
perfectly to the users’ preferences and habits, and it continues to learn over
time. On top of that, some intelligent sensors are integrated in the
thermostat. Those are able to detect whether somebody is in the room or not.
Thanks to the energy history-feature, users can see how much energy they have
consumed over a certain period. So no
more bleeding hot rooms wasting tons of energy, but an intelligent and green way of heating,
providing the exact temperature when and where you need it!
