Heating and cooling plants

Heating plant and circuits in one view

Econex gives a full overview of heat production and distribution – from heat pumps and boiler to every circuit – and points out the deviations that cost energy. Cooling systems are shown and operated in the same model.

The heating and cooling modules

From production to distribution and insight.

    Heating plant

    A full overview of the heating plant with heat pumps, boiler, buffer tank and energy use.

    • Heat pump and electric boiler with run signal, alarm and working setpoint
    • Boiler and buffer tank with temperatures
    • Distribution circuits with flow, return, valve position and an energy meter per circuit
    • Linked to energy monitoring to see what the heat costs

    Heating circuits

    Every heating circuit with flow and return temperature, valve position and outdoor compensation curve.

    • Flow temperature against setpoint per circuit
    • Valve position and pump status
    • Outdoor compensation with night setback and weather-based start-up

    Heating insight

    Econex links heat production and distribution with energy data, and points out deviations such as high return temperatures or unnecessary boiler starts.

    • Heat energy per day, week and year
    • Output and energy per heating circuit over time
    • Deviations shown with an explanation and suggested action
    • Linked to energy monitoring in Econex EOS
