Challenge
The challenge of the Clapham Quarter project, involving 36 smart apartments, centres around the integration and control of fan coil units (FCUs) with heat pumps, a solution not readily available on the market. The use of FCUs to disperse heating or cooling can be noisy, which may disrupt residents. Additionally, the project demands a system that can monitor and adapt its efficiency to ensure optimal performance while maintaining comfort. Residents need the ability to set specific budgets for their heating and cooling expenses, with the system managing energy use to maintain comfort while keeping costs down. Furthermore, it's crucial to have a mechanism for detecting energy inefficiencies, such as when a room fails to reach the desired temperature promptly, possibly due to an open window, thus alerting the resident immediately.Solution
To address these challenges, the Clapham Quarter project implements the Loxone App, providing advanced control and monitoring capabilities for FCUs integrated with heat pumps. This App enables residents to adjust fan speeds from their smartphones to reduce noise, especially at night, and monitors system performance to adjust operations for optimal comfort and energy efficiency. By setting their heating and cooling budgets through the App, residents can trust the system to manage resources intelligently. The system also alerts residents to potential energy losses when temperatures in a room do not reach set thresholds in a timely manner. Once the client recognized the necessity for the Loxone system to manage these aspects, it was a logical step to integrate access control for all apartments and lighting controls for the premium apartments, thereby enhancing the property sellability, security and environmental comfort through a single unified system. Through clever design and technology, an e-concierge was also introduced to remove the need for a physical concierge, accepting parcels on behalf of residents in their absence, much like an Amazon locker but at the residents home.For the Clapham Quarter project, once the necessity of integrating the Loxone App was realised, it made complete sense to expand its application to include Access Control and Lighting for the premium apartments. This integration not only streamlines the management of environmental conditions and energy efficiency but also enhances the overall security and living experience for residents. The Loxone App has proven to be the only solution capable of offering such comprehensive control and integration, meeting our high standards for innovation and resident-focused living. This project was delivered through collaborative efforts with Miron Efficiency and JSJ Smart Homes.
