Intelligent control is no longer a luxury, but an essential part of the energy transition.
Efficient energy use is indispensable in sustainable building installations today. Heat pumps are a significant solution in this regard, but only with smart control can you truly optimize their capabilities.
Weishaupt heat pumps are renowned for their energy efficiency. By integrating with our Luqas module for smart energy management, they take it a step further: optimizing collaboration with solar panels and other installations to make consumption smarter and more profitable. Johan De Cuyper, managing director at Weishaupt Belux, shares in the autumn edition of the trade magazine Installation & Construction why Weishaupt partnered with Luqas.
This Aeroblock is one of the Weishaupt heat pumps whose efficiency is further enhanced thanks to Luqas.
Our heat pumps already excel in energy efficiency, but we believe it is only natural to offer additional technology that provides customers with even greater returns. Luqas stood out for us not only because of its performance, but also because of its ease of installation.
The Role of Smart Control
Heat pumps perform best when they are optimally matched to a building’s energy demand and production. By intelligently coordinating heat pumps, solar panels, charging stations, boilers, and batteries, you can:
- avoid peak consumption
- utilize more self-generated solar power
- save on energy costs
- benefit from dynamic energy tariffs
This is exactly what our Luqas module is designed for. The Luqas module is a smart energy manager that reads the digital meter and controls heavy consumers based on that data. It is a user-friendly system that optimizes energy flows in real-time.
Luqas is the brain of your energy ecosystem: it makes decisions based on current data, controls your heavy consumers, and ensures that energy in your home is used as efficiently as possible.
Simply put, Luqas helps homeowners and building owners reduce their energy bills.
This is how Luqas makes the difference
- Installation ease
The Luqas module is pre-configured to easily integrate Weishaupt heat pumps. Installers only need to set a few simple parameters.
- Future-proof
Luqas is an open system and works not only with new, but also with older installations. This makes it a flexible solution for both renovations and new constructions. Additionally, ongoing efforts are made to simplify installation and configuration.
- Insight via app
Users receive clear energy reports via an app, showing the consumption and performance of, for example, the Weishaupt heat pump.
The Luqas module elevates the efficiency of, among others, this Biblock heat pump from Weishaupt to a higher level.
In other words, Luqas is compatible with all kinds of specific installation models, including older ones. In fact, we intend to simplify the installation of the module even further in the future.
Not a Trend, but a Necessity
Intelligent control is no longer just an extra today, but an essential component of the energy transition. Energy management not only makes systems more efficient — it often also reduces the payback period of investments like heat pumps.
At Luqas, the average payback period is less than two years, making it an attractive solution for owners who value both comfort and cost optimization.
