 Project objective

Across the EU, there is a need to increase the energy efficiency of heating and cooling systems as 50% of all energy consumption across the EU is spent on heating and cooling. Underfloor heating systems can significantly contribute to this. However, currently, underfloor heating system have the following challenges: • Require invasive demolition works that can take up to several months • Lack leakage detection system • Results in increased floor thickness • Requires architectural changes • Higher energy bills due to high thermal inertia Heatile S.r.l has developed HEATILE, an innovative easy-to-install prefabricated underfloor heating system resolving the problem of invasive demolition works, high retrofitting costs, floor thickness and liveable heights and leakage detection. Our solution is simple to install in comparison to competitors’ products and does not require extensive labour. Our target users are the system installer (Architect, Designers and Contractors) and the end-Users, (Building Owners and Occupants). Our solution, provides the following: • Boost in productivity for installers: The easy to install modular solution cuts installation time by more than 90% thereby allowing more jobs to be done. • Reduction in installation costs for building owners: Installation costs are reduced by 15-25% as there is no need for demolition works during retrofitting. • Reduction in energy bills: HEATILE is a low thermal inertia system, heating a home in only an hour instead of the 12hrs. • Reduction in Carbon emissions: Our solution decreases household energy usage hence reducing CO2 emission. By the 5th year of commercialisation, we expect to sell about 160,000sqm generating a cumulative revenue of €26.60-m and cumulative EBIT of €2.545-m creating 22 jobs.
