Touch&Heat pilots electric radiators with NFC controls

 

Households in Germany, France and the UK are trialling NFC-enabled electric radiators that let users configure the daily heat settings on individual appliances.

The radiators have been developed by the Touch&Heat project in order to enable consumers to reduce their energy consumption and become more energy efficient by making it easier to configure energy-saving features.

Touch&Heat is a collaboration between French NFC technology provider IoTize, French electronic thermostatic control provider Cotherm and German heating appliance manufacturer Lucht LHZ, and aims to 'accelerate the development, testing and deployment of new NFC heating products'.
