HEAT CONTROL SYSTEM

Smart Heating, Smarter Buildings.

The Carbon Cap Heat Control System (HCS), powered by K3D technology, is a high-performance heating optimization platform designed to transform comfort, efficiency, and control in multi-residential and commercial buildings. Whether you’re operating legacy gas infrastructure or planning a full electrification path, the HCS is your future-ready control layer.

How It Works

Real-Time Data. Centralized Intelligence. Measurable Results.

Powered by an intelligent control panel, the HCS integrates indoor temperature sensors with real-time wind and weather data, using adaptive thermal algorithms to respond instantly to changing conditions, maximizing comfort and minimizing energy waste.

Core Features:

  • Dynamic duty-cycling of radiators based on live sensor feedback

  • Wind chill optimization for windward-facing units

  • Downwind overheating prevention for sunny exposures

  • Peak demand management for energy efficiency

  • Remote monitoring via secure cloud dashboard

Technology Information

Control radiator output with adjustable max temp limits.

Room-by-room temperature monitoring.

Capture wind speed, direction, temperature, and humidity.

Central logic system for thermal optimization.

Real-time visibility for building operators.

Redundant system for emergency operation.

Comfort Without Compromise

HCS is designed to ensure a balanced indoor environment across every floor and unit:

Windward Comfort

Keeps cooler, draft-prone units consistently warm.

Downwind Control

Prevents overheating in sunny or sheltered apartments.

Even Distribution

Eliminates hot/cold disparities across the building.

Custom Setpoint Limits

Optimize energy use while maintaining tenant comfort.

Future-Ready Integration

The HCS doesn’t just work today—it’s built for tomorrow.

  • Compatible with gas-fired, hybrid, or all-electric systems

  • Seamlessly integrates with other building controls (e.g., Runwise, BMS platforms)

  • Supports night setback, off-season heating prevention, and seasonal auto-adjustments

  • Fully scalable across portfolios and adaptable to phased electrification strategies

Peace of Mind, Built In

Every installation comes with full support, remote oversight, and built-in system redundancies.

  • Centralized configuration and updates

  • Redundant logic control for reliability

  • Manual fallback modes ensure heat remains operational in any condition

  • Remote alerts and performance reporting keep your team informed

Designed for Decarbonization

The Heat Control System is a core part of Carbon Cap’s mission to reduce energy consumption, improve operational efficiency, and support buildings on the path to net-zero. It’s a flexible, intelligent control solution that delivers real results without disrupting daily life.
