A recent test project in Ume\u00e5, Sweden, showed that replacing standard mixers with FM Mattsson intelligent energy-saving mixers reduces hot water consumption by 30% and cold water consumption<br \/>\nby 15%. The results show that there are big savings to be made.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>FM Mattsson conducted the project in collaboration with Ume\u00e5 University and AB\u00a0Bostaden. The tests were performed over approximately two years (October 2012 to\u00a0August 2014) in almost 100 apartments in AB Bostaden\u2019s newly built properties in the\u00a0\u00c5lidhem quarter of Ume\u00e5. An ecologger installed in each apartment registered indoor\u00a0temperature, electricity use and cold and hot water consumption.<\/p>\n<p>After a year, the standard FM Mattson 9000 mixers were replaced with FM Mattsson\u00a09000E mixers in a third of the apartments, and the other apartments were used as\u00a0reference. The test results and measurements showed that switching to energy-saving\u00a0mixers reduced the total hot water consumption by 30% compared to the reference\u00a0apartments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo my knowledge, this is the only full-scale test carried out on energy-saving mixers in\u00a0Sweden,\u201d says Staffan Andersson, a lecturer in energy technology at Ume\u00e5 University,\u00a0who supervised the tests and evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are two main routes to saving hot water: technical solutions and adopting new\u00a0habits. Our study shows that switching to energy-saving mixers is a simple way of\u00a0reducing energy consumption,\u201d says Staffan.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligent mixers have a Cold Start function, meaning that only cold water comes out\u00a0when the lever is pointing straight forwards. The hot water is only activated when the\u00a0lever is turned to the left. The mixers also have an integrated flow restricter.<\/p>\n<p>Energy costs are one of the biggest expenses for property owners. The energy\u00a0required to heat hot water is part of a building\u2019s total energy consumption, so\u00a0consumers\u2019 hot water habits also have a strong effect on energy savings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy costs are one of the biggest expenses for house owners as well as owners of large properties.
