Thermal comfort and healthy air are brought by the new generation of Wavin Sentio zone control

Uncertainty in the energy market, along with the effort to fulfill ESG strategies, poses the question for companies of how to effectively reduce heating expenses while not compromising thermal comfort inside buildings. Modern control systems become a key element in this endeavor. A typical representative of an innovative solution that significantly reduces energy costs is the Wavin Sentio zoning regulation, which can achieve excellent results not only in residential or office buildings but also in industrial facilities where entirely different temperature conditions must be ensured in individual zones. The return on investment occurs within just two heating seasons.

The new generation of the Wavin Sentio system can not only regulate heating and cooling in individual zones of the building but also effectively control ventilation. Thus, it finds application not only in residential buildings but also in facilities where a higher number of people is present in a single room, such as schools, offices, cultural houses, shops, hospitals, or business offices. The system is also suitable for laboratories or industrial operations.

Energy savings and health protection

At the heart of the system is the central control unit (CCU), which turns on and regulates heating or cooling to ensure the highest thermal comfort in individual rooms or zones with the lowest possible energy consumption. It requires only input data about the temperatures outside and inside. Information about the outdoor temperature is provided by an outdoor temperature sensor, which must be installed on the northern side of the building and should be protected from sunlight. Data on room temperatures is obtained with the help of sensors distributed in individual rooms. Overall, it can work with up to 24 thermostats or sensors and control up to 16 thermo-electric drives for up to eight different zones. In addition to thermal comfort, Wavin Sentio in version 14 also allows users to maintain optimal humidity and healthy air quality. With modern control of heating, cooling, and ventilation according to daily and weekly schedules, every room in the building is always ready for use.

Easy installation, intuitive control

Wavin Sentio cooperates with various energy sources, such as heat pumps, condensing boilers, electric heating, and recuperation, as well as with others, such as gas heaters often used in industrial facilities. Installation can be done wired, wirelessly, or in a combination of both. This flexibility allows for the placement of Sentio in both new constructions and existing buildings. Wireless installations or their combinations do not require changes to the building plans, which speeds up installation and allows for changes even during the use of the building.

The control and settings of Wavin Sentio are intuitive for both users and professionals such as heating engineers or installers. Control options include PC, mobile phone, or touchscreen. The range of settings is fully tailored to the investor's needs, the specifications of the heating system, and the usage of the building. One significant advantage of the system is the possibility of remote access. This allows skilled technicians to check and adjust Wavin Sentio without the need for physical presence, which significantly reduces operational costs.

Return on investment within 2 seasons

According to the experiences of investors so far, the costs of acquiring the Wavin Sentio system typically pay off within just two heating seasons, regardless of the type of property. Wavin Sentio has seen the most success in family homes, but it is increasingly being installed in offices, hotels, or facilities that combine production or storage halls with commercial and office spaces. With the new feature, interest from hospitals or schools can be expected to grow.
