Conor Fahy, a new 2nd Bass has suggested that some of our members might be interested in trialling this ‘smart’ heating system free of charge. You get keep the monitor once the trial has ended.
I work in an Irish company that is trying to promote smarter home heat energy use in Ireland. We have agreed a trial study with the SEAI (sustainable energy authority of Ireland). We want to understand heating system effectiveness and user habits. In order to do this we will install a free smart thermostat in over 2k homes in Ireland. The household gets to keep the device forever but in exchange they must agree to share their heating data, on an anonymised basis, with our company, the SEAI and UCD. Only certain types of home will qualify for the trial. I thought that maybe some of our members in the choir would benefit. Here is the standard company marketing line to apply.
The Hub Controller is a smart thermostat that helps you reduce your home energy bills and works on all oil and gas heating systems. Our aim is simple. We want to help the environment by reducing energy wastage and reduce your energy bills. With this in mind, we are running a pilot campaign with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to prove that with a Hub Controller Smart Thermostat you can save up to 26.4% on your heating bill. But in order to prove this, we need to test it. That’s why we need your help. If you fit the criteria we’ll install a free Hub Controller Smart Thermostat, valued at €339, in your home.
