HeatAdapt takes into account the building's and heat pump's parameters, electricity market prices, and weather forecasts to automatically determine the optimal heating schedule for each day. The goal is to maximize savings from price fluctuations without compromising comfort.
When creating heating schedules, HeatAdapt reduces consumption during peak electricity prices and schedules the heat pump to work more during favorable hours. The number of high-cost hours, during which heating is reduced, depends on the weather forecast. During very cold weather, the capacity cannot be reduced for extended periods due to the building's thermal demand. Depending on the heat pump model, HeatAdapt may also perform preheating of rooms and/or domestic hot water during the most favorable hours, before electricity prices rise.
The greater the fluctuations in the electricity market prices for a specific day, the higher the savings from price-based control.
