Mixergy and Daikin have announced their new joint offering to social housing providers and new build developers.
According to a company statement, by combining a Daikin Altherma heat pump with a Mixergy smart hot-water cylinder, social housing providers and new build developers can boost EPC scores while enhancing living standards for their tenants.
Mixergy’s smart hot water cylinder range has been proven to reduce hot water energy consumption significantly, it noted. Daikin stated that it has enabled Mixergy to optimise the heat pump settings, resulting in better system efficiency and reduction in primary energy, as recognised in the building regulations.
Pete Armstrong, CEO and co-founder of Mixergy, said: “We’re thrilled to announce our new sales and technology partnership with Daikin. They are the first heat-pump manufacturer in the UK to fully understand the potential of our technology and we are very happy to be working together.
“Our grid connectivity and smart controls working in tandem with Daikin heat-pumps translate directly into higher EPC scores for the social housing provider, reducing costs for the housing developer, with lower running costs and more comfort for tenants and homeowners.”
Mixergy’s connectivity gives social housing providers access to a unique welfare dashboard that checks hot water temperatures and monitors tenant activity usage of the domestic hot water, the statement added. This enhanced monitoring allows for health and checks of the tenants and ensures compliance with Legionella requirements, it cited.
