Note: Costs are indicative and include materials, labour, and commissioning. Final pricing depends on site conditions, installer rates, and regional variations.
At the heart of every system sits the ILC: a software-defined orchestration layer that dynamically routes energy based on Agile pricing, weather forecasts, and real-time demand.

Thermal storage
Smart scheduling
Import grid power during off-peak hours (23:30-05:30) and discharge during peak pricing windows.
Machine learning algorithms forecast consumption patterns and pre-heat thermal mass during cheap periods.
Participate in demand flexibility schemes and earn payments for reducing consumption during peak events.
In a Passive House, the building fabric itself becomes a thermal battery. By pre-heating the structure during off-peak hours, we can coast through expensive peak periods without activating the heat pump.
The ILC monitors Agile pricing forecasts and weather predictions to determine optimal pre-heating windows. During negative pricing events, we can even get paid to heat the home.
