Guard Street Smart
Keeping outdoor surfaces free of snow and ice requires reliable heating control, often with significant energy consumption and peak power demand.
Guard Street Smart uses weather forecasts, real-time data and a digital twin of the installation to predict heating requirements and optimise energy use before snow and ice accumulate.
Predictive heating control. By combining local weather forecasts with the installation's thermal characteristics, Guard Street Smart calculates when and how much heating is required. This enables preheating ahead of changing conditions rather than reacting after snow or ice has formed.
Adaptive optimisation. A digital twin models the installation's thermal response and continuously adapts the heating strategy to local conditions and seasonal variations.
Reduced energy and peak demand. Optimised heating schedules reduce unnecessary operation and power peaks. Documented performance includes up to 73% lower energy consumption compared with conventional control systems and up to 70% lower peak power demand compared with conventional advanced control systems.
Intelligent control without additional field instrumentation
Conventional snow-melting systems often depend on local weather stations, ground sensors and reactive control strategies.
Guard Street Smart instead combines weather data with a continuously updated thermal model. The cloud-based solution integrates with existing heating and automation systems, regardless of supplier, without requiring additional local sensors.
This reduces installation complexity and maintenance requirements while supporting reliable snow and ice control.
