During the last 3 years PostNord Denmark managed to reduce the electricity and heating consumption per square meters by 33% in all its terminals.

ACTIVITIES

In the last three years PostNord has implemented online CTS (Heat Trace Electronic Thermostat) across all its 8 terminals. CTS is based on the use of AI for intelligent heating of larger facilities. This means that AI can predict the need for heating by accessing weather forecast data three days ahead.

Thanks to the sensors placed in the buildings, the solution can learn the pattern for each building and for example automatically turn off the heating if the sensors never detect people within certain time frames. Overall CTS and AI benefits include energy savings and better indoor climate management.

 

IMPACT

In 2021, the specific energy consumption (district heating and electricity) was 119,9 kWh/m2. In 2022 it was reduced to 99,1 kWh/m2. In 2023 the con- sumption decreased to 80,2 kWh/m2, due to the implementation of the solution on all terminals. The overall reduction between 2021 and 2023 was 33%.
