The Challenge

Geo Energy and Endurant Energy required a next-generation control and monitoring solution to maximise the efficiency and lifetime of the GSHP and ASHP systems. Critical drivers included the ability to prevent long-term ground heat exchanger temperature degradation, maintain optimal performance in real-time regardless of variable weather or building occupancy, and deliver a future-proof platform for ongoing energy analysis.

What We Delivered

Technical Scope:

• Provision and integration of hardware with predictive control algorithms (Niagara Tridium platform)
• Cloud-managed, centralised dashboard accessible from any device worldwide
• Integration of Smart Link Portal for full trend logging, alarms, and secure cloud control
• Secure 256-bit encryption, dual SSL certificates, and firewall protections for all site and cloud data
• Push Cloud Service providing continuous data uploads and remote commissioning
• User access tiers for operations staff, admins, and external technical support
• Energy Monitoring as a Service: dashboard, fault alerts, support, and continuous cyber-secure data hosting

Key Technical Points:

• Automated optimisation strategies for both GSHP and ASHP based on system conditions and predictive analytics
• Two separate control signals (4-20mA) for seamless integration to Building Automation System (BAS)
• All data encrypted and managed per best-practice cybersecurity protocols
• Open API and downloadable data for post-project analytics or transfer
