With more than 200,000 m2 of surface, heating is one of the biggest sources of energy use. PostNord had already initiated a 2 million DKK project to implement online CTS (Heat Trace Electronic Thermostat) across its terminals. The CTS is based on use of AI for intelligent heating of larger facilities. Benefits include energy savings and better indoor climate management.
This year, an additional 2 million DKK will be invested to implement CTS on the last 2 terminals out of 11, namely Terminal Taulov and Sonderborg distribution hub. The latest CTS developments will allow for forecasts in the near future and therefore to adjust heating according to requirements.
PostNord’s commercial partner CLAVERION has been involved in detecting any mistakes and ensure an optimal deployment of the solution.
The most recently installed CTS devices have shown a 20% reduction (March 2021-March 2022) in electricity use in the buildings. However, several factors can impact the solution’s performance, such as the weather and the package volumes. Forecasts for Terminal Taulov indicate a 50% reduction in energy consumption.
