high-rise buildings. They meet the Eco Design Directive and Lot 20 compliance, and come with features such as precise thermostats, open-window detection, programmable schedules and smart app control, allowing occupants to heat only the spaces they use. Together, these advancements make
electric radiators a flexible, efficient and future-ready solution for multi-dwelling residential developments. When paired with Solar PV or other
renewable energy sources, even greater energy efficiency and savings can be achieved from electric radiators.
Heating controls – small changes, big savings Basic control systems typically include a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs). When used effectively, these allow occupants to regulate heating according to time and temperature requirements, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. Smart controls, like electronic TRV heads
(e-TRVs), further enhance efficiency by allowing users to remotely programme heating schedules, monitor energy use and adjust temperatures. An e-TRV uses exact temperature to automatically regulate water flow. This precision helps prevent overheating and unnecessary energy consumption. Because they are wireless and easy to install, electronic thermostatic heads are suitable for both new build and retrofit projects, making them an accessible upgrade for improving energy efficiency.
Zone control for smarter heating Another effective approach is zone temperature control, where different areas of a building are heated independently, according to specific needs. Instead of relying on a single thermostat to control the entire home, multiple thermostats regulate individual rooms or zones. Simulations carried out by Myson show that introducing zone control can reduce typical heating costs by around 12%, while advanced electronic TRV heads can increase savings to up to 24% compared to basic control systems.
Renovation as an opportunity for efficiency Renovation projects provide a valuable opportunity to improve the energy performance of existing homes. Combining improved insulation, low-temperature heating and modern radiators can reduce energy consumption by 15-30% compared to older heating
systems, according to further simulations ordered by Myson. Replacing older radiators for modern
low-temperature models can be a quick and cost-effective upgrade, with minimal disruption. Research shows that simply installing thermostatic radiator valves can reduce fuel bills by around 18%*, while upgrading to more advanced electronic thermostats can increase savings even further.
Balancing comfort, cost and sustainability Energy efficiency is no longer just about reducing energy bills, it is also about creating comfortable living environments while contributing to climate goals. The most effective solutions take a holistic approach that considers the entire heating system, from insulation and heat generation to heat emitters and intelligent controls.
By combining modern heating
technologies, smart control systems and thoughtful heating design, specifiers and building professionals can create indoor environments that are both comfortable and sustainable. Investing in these technologies today not only reduces operating costs but also helps prepare homes for a more sustainable tomorrow. With Myson, you get the full range of indoor climate solutions from a single supplier, backed by manufacturing expertise, technical knowledge and system design solutions. Easier for you, better for your customers. *source: BEAMA
