Customized heating to suit different needs 

Toddlers attend our day nursery, where rooms are spread over two floors in the old building. These rooms need to be warm by 8 am, and the bathrooms must be at a suitable temperature for diaper changing.

By contrast, the rooms we use for our after-school club can stay cooler until the start of homework supervision at 11 am. Meanwhile, our kindergarten kids enjoy a constant temperature, as they sometimes spend the whole day in their group room during colder times of the year.

None of our facilities are in use after 5 pm, so we lower the temperature in the evenings as well as on the weekends and when we’re closed – which is also good for the environment.

Scheduled heating patterns

If you opt for the remote-control convenience with HomePod mini, HomePod or Apple TV as a home hub, you’ll be just as impressed as we were, once everything’s up and running. With Apple ID authentication and remote access via iCloud and Apple TV, the smart radiator valves can be controlled in groups from anywhere. Then, all it takes to allow other family members, or in our case specific team members, to control the radiators is to send an invite via the Home app.

What we really like is the smart use of schedules. We’ve set different heating patterns for our regular working days, vacation care in the after-school club and for when our facilities are closed – and we can populate everything via a dedicated calendar in our iOS device. As an example, all our radiators stop heating at 5 pm, on weekends, on public holidays and when we’re otherwise closed. It’s simply ingenious! And best of all, as there’s never any let up in our workload. Eve Thermo can finally relieve us of certain tasks – which takes a load off our mind, is great for the initiative’s coffers and good for the environment. Thanks, Eve!
