In an extraordinary partnership aimed at supporting the UK government’s ambitious goal of delivering 600,000 heat pumps annually, Wondrwall and Daikin are leading the way in the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero Heat Pump Ready Stream 2 project
This strategic collaboration not only seeks to revolutionise how homes are powered and heated but also shines as a beacon of hope in achieving the nation’s sustainability objectives.
Rising to the challenge: Heat pumps and the grid load dilemma
The United Kingdom’s commitment to transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable heating solutions faces a formidable challenge – the capacity of the electricity grid. Heat pumps, reliant on electricity, present the potential to strain this crucial infrastructure.
Furthermore, the shift from conventional gas heating to electric heat pumps has not consistently resulted in significant reductions in homeowners’ energy bills. This can be attributed primarily to the relatively higher cost of electricity compared with gas.
The Wondrwall/Daikin synergy
The partnership between Wondrwall and Daikin represents a watershed moment in addressing these pressing challenges.
At its core, this collaboration revolves around alleviating the stress on the energy grid caused by the electrification of domestic heating by empowering households to autonomously control heating functions, generate their own electricity and optimise energy consumption. This innovative approach is closely aligned with the objective of minimising energy costs for homeowners.
Easing the grid load and unveiling savings potential
Wondrwall’s Home Energy Management System is made up with three integrated hardware modules – Home Automation, Gas-Free Heating and Hot Water & Net Zero Energy, along with Wondrwall’s cloud-based, AI Energy Management System.
At the heart of every Wondrwall Intelligent Home is the Wondrwall Light Switch. Each Wondrwall Light Switch has 13 built-in sensors, which when installed throughout the home form a multi-sensory network capable of capturing habitational data – including motion, luminosity, humidity and temperature. This will expand over time with future revisions of the Wondrwall Light Switch.
As part of the Heat Pump Ready programme, air source heat pump technology from Daikin will be fully integrated within the Wondrwall system. This will enable occupants to gain a significant degree of self-sufficiency, helping to reduce the cost of energy imports. This not only bolsters the economic attractiveness of heat pumps but also champions the broader cause of energy efficiency and sustainability.
Embrace the transformation: Your opportunity awaits
As part of this groundbreaking initiative, we are thrilled to extend an exclusive invitation to a limited number of housebuilders.
This invitation offers them the unique opportunity to install and test the Wondrwall/Daikin solution at a subsidised rate.
If you are passionate about becoming a part of this transformative journey towards net zero living and aspire to be at the forefront of delivering the future of sustainable, cost-effective homeownership, we wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out to us.
In conclusion, the collaborative effort between Wondrwall and Daikin epitomises an extraordinary leap forward in the pursuit of sustainable, energy-efficient and intelligent homes.
By recognising and surmounting the challenges that come with the adoption of heat pumps and by introducing innovative solutions to diminish grid load and energy expenses, this partnership occupies a pivotal role in the realisation of the UK’s audacious energy and sustainability targets for new build housing.
Do not miss the opportunity to be part of this transformative journey towards a brighter, more sustainable future, one that benefits all. Together, we can shape a world where sustainable living is not only possible but also economically advantageous and environmentally responsible.
