WARMTH it is a project that involved three Lombard SMEs e four departments of the Politecnico di Milano (Design, Energia, ABC, DEIB), funded by Smart Living call for the Lombardy Region. The project carried out R&D and innovation activities on a range of products for monitoring, analysis and optimization of the operation of air conditioning systems and room comfort. The energy management system aimed at the residential market (Home Energy Management System) is connected via a cloud platform, which houses the control intelligence and is able to optimize the operation of centralized winter air conditioning systems.
The role of REHOM
As part of the Tepore project, Rehom revised the system architecture of the apartment by introducing a new component: the Webserver e’ l’elemento innovativo che si occupa della visualizzazione dell’Interfaccia Utente e dell’interazione con l’algoritmo predittivo che puo’ risiedere localmente al Webserver oppure essere richiamato remotamente sulla piattaforma cloud. Le funzioni messe a disposizione dell’utente consentono, oltre alle classiche funzioni di regolazione e di controllo dei consumi, di impostare una delle modalita’ di funzionamento del clima (Antigelo, Risparmio, Eco Comfort, Comfort, Manuale); nelle modalita’ Risparmio e Eco Comfort e’ attivo l’algoritmo in grado di calcolare quando attivare/disattivare il riscaldamento/raffrescamento per ottenere le temperature programmate negli orari desiderati e ottimizzando i consumi. Per l’interfaccia utente e’ stata implementata la grafica ideata dal Dipartimento di Design del Politecnico
The advantages of this project
The Tepore project has made it possible to improve Rehom's RMZ + product with innovative and unprecedented features such as predictive programming of apartment temperatures, making the product competitive on the Italian market and, in perspective, on the foreign one. It also made it possible to improve the dehumidifier product by improving the assembly phase of the various components, reducing the sound emission of the fan and compressor and improving the efficiency of the recuperator.
