Whitepaper - Connected heating to help the social housing sector fulfil its social mission

Social housing organisations have a social mission to provide affordable housing to those in needs. This can include:

• Helping to increase the purchasing power of their tenants by providing lower rents and lower energy bills
• Playing a leadership role in the energy transition, particularly in the decarbonisation of buildings and their maintenance
• Optimising the operating costs of their housing stocks can play a key role in creating savings. This can be reinvested constructions of more affordable homes.

Connectivity can be a driver to achieve this social mission:

• Connected heating controls have been proving to reduce the energy consumption by 10% on average across Europe. This therefore contributes to the purchasing power of tenants and to the energy transition.
• Connectivity in heating systems can help service companies better manage their repair and maintenance operations for heating systems.

This can allow a better performance of heating systems and a better longevity of the system and even of the building, but mostly this could allow social housing companies to avoid unnecessary costs and therefore reinvest these savings into the construction of affordable housing.
