MILL wifi Heaters with Advanced PID Technology: A simulation-based test

In Norway, buildings sector accounts for 34% of the total energy consumption [1]. Where, over 84% of residential building’s energy consumption has been covered by direct/indirect electricity (i.e., electric heaters / heat pumps). According to the EN ISO 52120-1 Standard [2], Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) can significantly impact on energy use of buildings and their occupants. In recognition to this fact, the Norwegian Wi-Fi heaters developer (Mill International AS) developing new generations of Wi-Fi heaters that can reducing the heating demands by re-setting the heating temperature setpoint whenever possible. In this report, NTNU tests the potential of energy saving that can be achieved by the third generation of Mill Wi-Fi heaters with their advanced PID technology.
