Make every building part of the energy solution

Cut electricity use by up to 20% and decarbonise your buildings — with instant savings, no capex and full operational control.

Student accommodation is structurally difficult to manage. All-inclusive rents remove any incentive to heat efficiently. Heating runs continuously through winter, void periods go unmanaged. With no visibility at device or room level, energy inefficiency is significant and entirely invisible.

Voltalis connects your existing smart heating devices or installs new ones at no cost to our demand response platform.

Void periods automate and electric heating schedules optimise while students retain control – all at zero cost.

Our higher education and student accommodation solutions

FOR PANEL HEATING

For estates with panel radiators without smart capabilities, Voltalis connects your appliances via our proprietary hardware. Instant electricity and carbon savings, at no cost to you.

FOR SMART HEATING

Lot 20-compliant smart radiators already installed? Voltalis activates them via secure cloud integration the same day – no engineer, no hardware and no cost to you.

FOR LEGACY HEATING

Voltalis replaces non-compatible legacy heaters with Lot 20-compliant smart radiators at zero capital cost to you. Hardware, new warranties, installation and setup – all included.

Reduce electricity consumption & carbon emissions

Our Demand Response technology allows you to heat & cool your buildings with 20% less electricity and significantly fewer Scope 2 emissions.

Real-time visibility & control over your assets

Voltalis brings together real-time energy visibility, intelligent control and automated Demand Response without disruption – across individual devices or entire sites.

Automatic Optimisation

Voltalis actively optimises electricity use in real time, seamlessly activating Demand Response in an automated, transparent and carefully balanced way to protect comfort and operations, delivering measurable value without adding complexity.

Seamless integration, actionable data

Voltalis connects your electric heating & cooling infrastructure and turns operational data into clear insights, enabling smarter decisions, better performance and lower energy use.

Bringing clarity to complexity

From HVAC optimisation to carbon reporting and cross-site benchmarking, Voltalis brings intelligence, automation, and clarity to complex building infrastructure.

Capex & Opex Free

Remunerated by the electricity network for the flexibility we provide, our fully funded demand response model means organisations can decarbonise today, at no costs and disruption.

We’re already delivering savings across major universities & PBSAs in the UK for free.

HIGHER EDUCATION

13% less electricity consumption for a heritage estate.

HIGHER EDUCATION

14.8 % less electricity consumption and no discomfort.

Head of Sustainability, University of Wales Trinity Saint David

“ From day one, Voltalis began delivering savings — not just in energy and carbon, but in operational effort too. The university team gained greater control over their electric heating systems while benefiting from automatic demand-side support. What we value most is the simplicity. It makes traditional radiators smart and keeps them smart — without asking anything of our users.”

Deputy Director of Estates, University of Westminster
“Upgrading energy efficiency across a large portfolio usually means major capital expenditure and significant logistical headaches but not with Voltalis – quite the opposite.”
Estate Services Facilities Manager, University of Westminster

“We’ve achieved impressive reductions in our electricity consumption since activating the Voltalis system across our student housing. The install was frictionless, and it has been optimising our radiators seamlessly in the background, delivering energy efficiency, cost savings and sustainability without disrupting the student experience.”

    Any questions?

    We’ve got you covered.

    We’ve already helped thousands of organisations across Europe.

    How much does this cost Universities or PBSAs?

    Nothing. Voltalis is funded through the UK’s demand response markets, so there is no capital cost, no subscription and no hidden charge. You keep 100% of the electricity savings.

    Will students notice any difference?

    No. Adjustments to electric heating and cooling appliances are small, brief and automatic. At the University of Westminster, we managed 677 heating and cooling appliances across 13 blocks with zero student complaints.

    Does this work on older buildings?

    Yes. UWTSD is a heritage estate with listed buildings. Our approach adapts to the appliances you have rather than requiring new infrastructure.

    Who controls the system day to day?

    Your estates team keeps full visibility and control through a real-time dashboard. You can see every connected appliance and override at any time.

    How disruptive is installation?

    Minimal. Our engineers work around term dates and building access requirements, and installation does not require rewiring or replacing your existing appliances.

    What results can we expect?

    The University of Westminster reduced electricity consumption by 18% in its first season. UWTSD achieved 13% across a listed heritage estate. Results vary by building, and we model your estate before deployment.
