Intelligent zone-specific control of underfloor heating systems (UFH)
with electric valves
Hotels, hospitals, historical buildings, and other non-residential facilities with underfloor heating face a growing challenge: how to improve energy efficiency without undertaking costly, time-consuming renovations that disrupt operations or compromise architectural heritage.
Beyond comfort and control, facility managers also require accurate energy data to measure, report, and demonstrate efficiency improvements as part of their sustainability goals. The pressure is mounting, under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), by 2030, non-residential buildings must perform better than the worst 16% of the national building stock, and by 2033 better than the worst 26%. This applies to countries like Germany as well.
With rising energy costs and tightening regulations, building managers are under increasing pressure to upgrade existing systems with smart, data-driven technologies.
Partner solution: Efficient energy management with the
MClimate 16A Switch & Power Meter LoRaWAN
The MClimate 16A Switch & Power Meter LoRaWAN® (16ASPM) is a compact yet powerful 16A relay and energy meter, designed to bring efficiency to underfloor heating and/or other electrical appliances. With dimensions of just 32 × 36 × 18 mm and a weight of only 24.5 grams, the device fits within underfloor heating installations, making it ideal for retrofit projects where space and accessibility are limited.
By enabling remote measuring and control of the electricity used by Underfloor Heating (UFH) system with Electric Valves, the 16ASPM allows facility managers to optimize consumption, reduce costs, and monitor performance in real time. The device provides both real-time and historical data, enabling users to make data-driven decisions and configure custom automations, timers, and schedules that directly improve their energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
The device features four terminals (L, N, N, Lout), operating by connecting or disconnecting Lout from L, ensuring reliable control and measurement.
Built on LoRaWAN® Class C and with an open protocol with no vendor lock-in, the 16ASPM integrates with a wide range of IoT platforms. This interoperability has made it a preferred choice for IoT integrators and solution providers looking for a flexible device.
Like all MClimate devices, the 16ASPM supports FUOTA (Firmware Upgrades Over the Air), allowing for remote firmware updates that improve performance, fix bugs, and keep the device up to date, without physical intervention or costly replacements.
With users’ safety in mind, the MClimate 16A Switch & Power Meter LoRaWAN® has built-in multiple protection mechanisms in case requirements of the installation process are not fulfilled - including an internal temperature sensor to identify loose cable connections and prevent overheating. The device also features overvoltage and overcurrent protection to avoid unexpected faults and maximize the users' protection.
Simple retrofit: comfort and efficiency without renovation
The MClimate 16A Switch & Power Meter LoRaWAN® is particularly effective for optimizing underfloor heating (UFH) systems with electric valves in hotels and other non-residential buildings. These facilities often require a solution that is quick and easy to deploy, does not involve major renovations, and provides maximum flexibility in managing building operations.
Here’s why the 16ASPM is a perfect choice for retrofitting older buildings in need of a fast yet efficient upgrade:
Zone-by-zone remote control: Enables precise management of heating across individual rooms or areas. In hotels and offices, this means heating only occupied spaces instead of entire floors, significantly reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
Custom heating schedules: Allows users to automate heating based on occupancy patterns, working hours, or opening times, ensuring comfort when needed and efficiency when not.
Accurate energy monitoring: Provides real-time and historical data on electricity consumption, helping facility managers track performance and optimize usage.
Safety-first design: Built with protection against overheating, overcurrent, and overvoltage, making it highly reliable for underfloor heating systems.
Simple retrofitting: Compact in size and easy to install, requiring no renovation or changes to the existing infrastructure.
FUOTA: Enables Firmware Upgrades Over the Air, keeping devices updated, secure, and future-ready without on-site intervention.
Open protocol: No vendor lock-in. The 16ASPM integrates seamlessly with any IoT platform, offering full flexibility for system integrators and building managers.
With the MClimate 16A Switch & Power Meter LoRaWAN®, any building can take a smart step toward greater comfort, lower energy costs, and full compliance with tomorrow’s sustainability requirements.
