Optit is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Danfoss Leanheat® Building to develop innovative energy optimization solutions for district heating utilities in Italy.
By combining our expertise in Decision Support Systems (DSS) with the expertise of Danfoss Leanheat® Building, we aim to reduce power peaks and optimize energy use for the benefit of local communities. This collaboration is based on shared values of efficiency, sustainability and innovation and follows previous agreements involving the Leanheat® Network.
“I am extremely proud to have signed this agreement with Danfoss. We believe that the Leanheat® Building solution represents the effective answer to the demand management challenges that many Italian district heating utilities are facing.” – Matteo Pozzi, General Manager, Optit.
Following successful pilot projects in Northern Italy, where our combined efforts resulted in a reduction of over 30% in peak energy demand and a decrease in consumption, the Leanheat® Building solution has proven effective not only in reducing power requirements and reducing flow rates, but also in reducing the return water temperature. These improvements ensure stable internal conditions with optimized energy use.
“This new agreement is a natural evolution of our previous collaborations with the Leanheat® Network, and will enable Danfoss and Optit to respond more effectively and synergistically to the needs of the district heating market.” – Luca Biliero, Vertical Sales Manager, Danfoss Climate Solutions.
