Loxone Delivers Unrivalled Efficiency at Energy House 2.0

The University of Salford’s Energy House 2.0 project has highlighted Loxone as a leader in energy-efficient and intelligent building automation, demonstrating its value for sustainable construction.

Loxone’s advanced automation technology excelled in the Energy House 2.0 testing facility, delivering high levels of precision and adaptability. The system maintained indoor temperatures of 21°C in average winter conditions and 20°C in extreme cold (-5°C) while achieving exceptional energy efficiency and minimising waste.

Located in Manchester, Energy House 2.0 features two state-of-the-art climatic chambers, making it a world-class facility for evaluating building technologies. These chambers replicate typical UK winter conditions (5°C) and more extreme weather (-5°C), providing a realistic environment for testing construction solutions. Since January 2023, the university has released several reports, including the latest, Energy House 2.0 Study on Future Homes Standard Heating Systems, which underscores Loxone’s BMS as a standout performer in both maintaining target temperatures and optimising energy usage.

“We’re thrilled to see Loxone’s system perform at such a high level in one of the most realistic testing environments available,” said Tyron Cosway, Branch Manager Loxone UK. “Our mission has always been to set new standards in building automation, and the Energy House 2.0 results underline our commitment to creating intelligent systems that minimise energy waste while delivering unparalleled comfort. The findings of this report further emphasise Loxone as a proven option for developers and home builders alike needing to adapt to the Future Homes Standard expected to come into effect in 2025.”

Integrated Solutions for Sustainable Living

Within the climatic chamber, a three-bedroom house named eHome2 was built in partnership with Barratt Developments and Saint-Gobain. Here, Loxone’s automation system integrated seamlessly with Thermaskirt heating panels and an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP), enabling tailored temperature management with maximum efficiency.

When tested against another leading heating control system, Loxone demonstrated its ability to deliver consistent indoor temperatures across all zones, even under varying conditions. Its intuitive adaptation to environmental changes and user preferences ensures precise and efficient climate control, reducing energy use and enhancing comfort.

Setting New Standards for Sustainability

The Energy House 2.0 results position Loxone as an ideal choice for developers, self-builders, and housebuilders seeking sustainable solutions. By intelligently managing heat distribution and reducing energy consumption, Loxone supports the transition to eco-friendly, cost-effective building practices.

As an innovator in sustainable building automation, Loxone’s achievements at Energy House 2.0 highlight its capability to integrate seamlessly with diverse systems and deliver exceptional performance. Its BMS represents a forward-thinking solution for those aiming to build or retrofit homes for a sustainable future.
