This paper investigates the impacts of a wireless heatingmanagement system for electrical baseboard heaters in twobulk-metered apartment buildings located in Ottawa, Canada.A tenant survey was conducted one year after the initial installationto study the thermal comfort impact of this system.Meanwhile, energy and economic analyses were performedwith two years of post-retrofit data. Overall, this system hasproduced promising energy and cost reductions as much as33% with little negative impact on tenants’ overall thermalcomfort during the heating seasons. However, the authors stillcaution the installation of similar systems until feasibility studiesare performed to determine the suitability of such systems.
