Egain forecasting
Egain forecasting is a method of controlling building
The starting point for developing the method of eGain forecasting was the ENLOSS mathematical energy balance model developed by Prof. Roger Taesler [1] from Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute in cooperation with Thorbjörn Geiser (member of the board) and Stefan Berglund,[2] who are currently both employed at eGain Sweden AB. Forecasting method began to be introduced to use in the late 1980s.
Until 2017 inclusive, forecasting method has been introduced in nearly 16 million square metres of floorage of
eGain Forecasting in practice
As far as practical use of this forecasting method is concerned, remote control forecasting receivers are typically used to send and receive data by means of a GPRS or GSM network. The forecasting receivers then manage the operation of control panels installed in the buildings, which adjust distribution of heat energy in the heating system of a given property.
Recently, special remote control weather loggers have been introduced, and are used in combination with the forecasting receivers. The weather loggers accurately measure
