Next-generation smart metering puts heat network residents in control


S


witch2 Energy, has launched the G10 Smart Metering Hub – its most advanced smart metering system yet – designed to improve effi ciency, transparency, and cost savings for UK heat networks. The next-generation device introduces a new standard in heat network technology, giving residents greater convenience and control over their energy use while providing landlords and operators with powerful tools to optimise heat network performance. It is designed to give customers on residential heat networks the equivalent experience to those with direct gas and electricity.


Featuring real-time monitoring, improved data accuracy, and fl exible payment options, the G10 ensures fair and transparent billing, helping to reduce waste and drive cost savings.


With an intuitive touchscreen display, residents can easily navigate their energy usage, check their balance, and access smart budgeting tools to help them stay in control of their heating costs.


The patent-pending smart metering hub also introduces a contactless top-up via NFC, allowing payments through Apple Pay and Google Pay, alongside multiple other payment options and includes real-time tariff and credit management, all remotely controlled. Richard Harrison, CEO of Switch2 Energy, said: “The G10 puts power back into the hands of residents and landlords – giving them real-time visibility of their energy use. At the same time, it enables heat network operators to drive effi ciency, access real world data, reduce waste, and improve overall system performance.”

Low carbon-emissions recycled & renewably produced steel


N


uaire has announced that its Magnelis® steel-based ventilations systems are now being made from XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel. Nuaire is the fi rst UK ventilation


manufacturer to switch to this innovative steel, which will result in a 64% reduction in CO2 emissions on these products within the fi rst year alone, compared with the same steel manufactured via the conventional steelmaking route. Products to benefi t from the transition to XCarb® steel include Nuaire’s industry leading BPS air handling units and XBOXER XBC packaged heat recovery systems.


For customers, this transition to a lower carbon-emissions steel has only positive benefi ts; the quality of Nuaire’s products will remain as before, with the additional benefi t of helping to reduce embodied carbon within buildings. Embodied carbon - the carbon emissions associated with the material extraction and manufacture, construction, maintenance, refurbishment, and demolition of a building - makes up 20% of the UK built environment’s emissions. To reduce this, we need to use less materials in building design, and those materials that are required should be low carbon wherever possible. Magnelis made with XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel has an embodied carbon footprint of just 0.898 tCO2e/t of material, which is considerably lower than the 2.51tCO2e/t of material of the steel previously used, meaning Nuaire’s ventilation systems manufactured with this innovative steel help reduce a building’s embodied carbon. https://www.nuaire.co.uk/about/xcarb
