Join us for a site visit to Passiv UK to see how smart heat pump controls can reduce heat pump installation cost and complexity for housebuilders needing to comply with the Future Homes Standard.

Understand how the latest smart home controls can cut customer bills, make heat pumps easier to control and better integrate rooftop solar PV - removing the need to install costly alternatives like solar diverters.

Hear how smart heat pump controls can provide remote access to household temperature, humidity and heating data, helping housebuilders and registered providers navigate complex legislation aimed at protecting tenants.

The visit will include a tour of the Passiv facility, showcasing a wide array of heat pump technologies and a demonstration of the Passiv Smart Thermostat and Passiv Portal.
