Local authorities and housing associations tasked with reducing fuel poverty among their tenants can also benefit. There are an estimated 2.35 million households in England alone classed as living in fuel poverty*, with the majority of households finding themselves in this situation due to inefficient heat networks. Minibems offers a convenient retrofit solution to improve the efficiency of existing heat networks, reducing the burden on tenants and housing associations alike.

Minibems is a cloud-based platform that allows the configuration of software modules to hardware controllers. The environment comprises manufactured products, hardware controllers, devices, Minibems controllers and user interfaces.
Minibems enables the top level visibility of the status of all heat networks, as well as the in-depth monitoring of all heating appliances and devices on each heat network.
Online visualisation and data logging of key points on the heat network provides built-in metering and remote fault diagnosis functionality, reducing the need for site visits and their associated costs.
Minibems control technology comes pre-coded with the specific ideal operating conditions for each manufactured product, and can adapt usage according to the requirements of the heat network and environment.
Minbems cloud-based monitoring functionality provides instant access to heat network efficiency reports, enabling consumers to see how efficiently their system is running, and make changes to their heat consumption in order to maximise cost savings.
