Description

Runwise's smart boiler controls use indoor temperature sensors, outdoor weather data, and software algorithms to automatically adjust boiler operation in real time. This enables more precise control of centralized heating systems, reduces energy use, improves indoor temperature regulation, and provides visibility into system performance and fuel usage. The system also detects issues such as leaks or failures early, allowing building teams to anticipate and address problems before they escalate.

Key Differentiators

  • Ease of integration - Runwise's Smart Boiler Controls update outdated boiler controls without requiring full HVAC or system replacement. Minimal system modifications and installation scope beyond the new Runwise control system

  • Minimally disruptive, quick installation - Fully wireless installation completed in one day or less

  • Easy to access insights - The system combines sensors, software, controls, and analytics into a single integrated platform, providing real-time monitoring and remote control, as well as real-time utility usage and system performance data

  • Real-time optimization - The system uses indoor temperature feedback and weather forecasting to dynamically optimize heating performance. Detects system issues instantly and sends automated alerts for faster response

  • Dedicated support - Includes ongoing professional monitoring and support to help ensure continued savings year over year

Use Cases

  • Reduce building energy/utility costs

  • Optimize the usage of HVAC equipment

  • Better visibility into real-time gas use

  • Regulate indoor temperature

  • Improve control over a centralized HVAC system

  • Improve/replace HVAC system

  • Use existing HVAC equipment more efficiently

  • Anticipate issues to equipment (e.g. HVAC) before they happen

Cost Savings

The system delivers approximately 20–25% heating energy cost savings through dynamic optimization using indoor temperature feedback and weather forecasting. It also reduces long-term operations and maintenance costs through remote system visibility, fewer boiler room visits, and early detection of system issues and alerts.
