Genius Hub: zoned smart heating for large properties and businesses

Genius Hub is a UK-based company dedicated to the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of a patented, award-winning zoned smart heating system. The company concentrates product design, manufacturing, customer support and software engineering in Birmingham, and has its own engineering team and a local support centre. For commercial installations, it offers full project management.

How the system works

The system optimises energy consumption by only heating the parts of the building that are in use. To do this, it combines zoned heating, intelligent scheduling, occupancy detection and remote control and monitoring. These features tailor heating to the needs of each area, reducing energy waste and improving comfort.

In office buildings, hotels, care homes or private homes, Genius Hub provides centralised control, demand-based heating, customisable scheduling and remote management. This allows temperature regulation across multiple zones and units, minimising consumption and achieving significant savings on heating bills for both commercial and large residential property owners.

Control from a single app

The Genius Hub app is available for mobile and web and allows you to control every room in the property. It is distributed via the Apple Store, Google Play and web browser.
