Abstract

Abstract An intelligent control system has been developed in the form of a smart thermostat that takes into account the expected occupancy. The use of the smart thermostat allows to save energy without jeopardizing the user's comfort requirements. The goal of this paper is to estimate the required minimal energy saving to achieve environmental and economic benefits by using the intelligent control system for residential heating in Flanders. To this end both Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) methods are applied to provide insight in, and quantify the potential cost savings and environmental avoided burdens.
