Thermal Comfort and Energy Efficiency in Large-scale Residential Buildings
In large residential buildings and modern condominiums, heating and cooling systems represent one of the main energy cost factors. However, climate control is not just about expenses—it is the key element for indoor quality of life.
Thanks to technological advancements, it is now possible to adopt Emmeti solutions, designed to deliver high standards of comfort and outstanding energy efficiency performance.
Growing awareness of environmental sustainability and the need to reduce utility bills are driving residents and property managers toward systems that cut CO₂ emissions without compromising thermal comfort.
As well as this, residents are keen to minimize their household budget and make their homes more efficient and less expensive to run.
Residential Climate Systems: Trends and Benefits
Each person is looking for the comfort that best suits their needs and that best fits their lifestyle habits. But In big apartment buildings, there is a need for some synergy between the different apartments when it comes to heating installations. This increases efficiency not only during the building process but also in the user phase. That's why planners need to think thoroughly about one system for the entire building that could meet all needs.
To optimize investment, it is essential to adopt integrated systems that ensure maximum efficiency during installation and daily use.
Current market demands find concrete and innovative answers in Emmeti technologies:
Healthy and Comfortable Spaces: Guaranteed thermal well-being and improved air quality, thanks to solutions that operate without creating strong air movements.
Energy-Efficient Systems: Innovative technologies that drastically reduce energy bills and minimize waste.
Low Environmental Impact: Solutions compatible with renewable energy sources to limit CO₂ emissions and contribute to building sustainability.
Smart and Intuitive Solutions: Advanced systems enabling remote management and greater user autonomy.
Emmeti Solutions for Residential Buildings
Emmeti’s wide product range meets the diverse needs of this market, from centralized generation and management systems to autonomous solutions, including both convective and radiant emission systems.
Among the eco-friendly products in the range are heat pumps, suitable for both autonomous and centralized systems. By adopting this technology, CO₂ emissions can be reduced by over 30% compared to traditional systems, while also lowering overall energy costs.
Usage patterns vary, and so do heat emission systems:
For apartments with constant heating needs, the most efficient solution for optimal comfort is likely a radiant system.
For buildings with intermittent use, such as vacation homes, the ideal choice may be a system that offers rapid response, such as fan coil units.
Heat Metering and Privacy
In centralized systems, heat metering is essential. This system allows each resident to monitor their actual consumption transparently and accurately. Emmeti pays close attention to user privacy, providing certified measurement systems that ensure only the user and the building manager can access consumption data, in compliance with current regulations.
To guarantee maximum comfort and efficiency, Emmeti integrates its solutions with smart thermostatic control and home automation systems. These allow users to manage thermal zones, schedule on/off times, and monitor consumption—all conveniently via a remote app. This real-time climate adjustment further optimizes energy savings and maximizes user autonomy.
Interview with an expert
Cristiano Montagner, technical sales manager, Italy
In recent years, the Italian regulatory landscape has changed significantly, paying great attention to buildings' consumption, insulation, and systems. As all these elements are defined in the designing and planning phase, choices made during this part of the building process are decisive.
What changes are taking place in the market thanks to the new rules?
If in the past the user evaluated a building only for its position and type, today, the user who approaches the purchase of a building is also attentive to the Energy Performance Certificate (EPA). This requires that from the design phase to the construction phase, there is more and more attention to the choices made to make the house more efficient both in its construction and in the adopted systems.
What has changed in the choice of implants?
In recent years we have seen, for example, heat emission systems change. There is an increasing demand for fast-reacting radiant systems as they allow great environmental comfort and adapt better to temperature changes. In the generation, the adoption of heat pumps, certainly among the most efficient systems, has made it possible to lower the environmental footprint of buildings significantly. Also, the increasing adoption of photovoltaic production systems enable, for example, in the case of radiant systems, a reduction of energy costs.
Maximum comfort in a healthy and pleasant living environment
Our goal is to deliver the highest level of comfort in healthy, welcoming, and sustainable environments. To achieve this, we offer technologically advanced systems that are easy to use and designed to combine energy efficiency with environmental responsibility.
A concrete example of this philosophy is the renovation of a villa, where a complete underfloor heating and cooling system was installed, powered by a MIRAI SMI heat pump integrated with the FEBOS HP management system and an Eco Hot Water heat pump for domestic hot water production.
To meet the needs of heating, cooling, and dehumidification, next-generation fan coil units were installed, combining high performance with silent operation.
Thanks to continuous technological evolution and meticulous design, these terminals integrate seamlessly into any architectural setting, offering aesthetic appeal and precise, constant temperature control.
Silence That Enhances Comfort
In modern living spaces, where indoor well-being is increasingly central, the need to heat, cool, and dehumidify rooms finds an effective and technologically advanced answer in state-of-the-art fan coil units.
Through ongoing technological progress and careful design focused on both functionality and aesthetics, these terminals have become the ideal solution for any environment—residential or commercial.
Their versatility ensures harmonious integration into spaces, while delivering high performance, quiet operation, and precise temperature control.
Emmeti fan coil units are engineered to provide maximum thermal comfort with minimal acoustic impact. Their extremely silent operation makes them perfect for spaces where tranquility is essential, such as bedrooms, offices, meeting rooms, or relaxation areas.
