Use existing accounts

Microsoft 365 or Google

Sinc Energy lets staff sign in with their existing Microsoft or Google accounts.

Always in control.

The school console

  1. Every room, live.

    Zones shows each room’s temperature against its target, with its valve’s signal and battery. Change a setpoint and it goes straight to the valve.

  2. Events and closures, set once.

    Schedules follow the timetable and its term dates. Add an INSET day and no room is heated; add an evening event and its rooms are heated on top.

  3. Every hour saved, counted.

    Heating saved counts the hours saved against the old boiler timer, and the gas saved with them, week by week.

Teachers get a say.

The teacher app

  1. Scan QR Poster

    Point your phone’s camera at the QR code on the classroom poster. The teacher app opens in the browser, with nothing to install.

  2. Sign in with existing accounts

    Use the Microsoft or Google account you already have at school. No new password to remember.

  3. Manage schedules

    See the room’s timetable and your own. Book a free period when you need the room warm, and it’s heated once the school office approves it.

The hardware

Three devices. No building works.

A smart valve on every radiator, a switch at the boiler and one gateway that links them to Sinc. No plumbing, no cables through the building, nothing on the school’s network.

On every radiator

Replaces the radiator’s thermostatic head in minutes, with no plumbing, then reads the room and opens the valve only when Sinc’s plan says so.

A small relay wired into the boiler’s controls, so the boiler runs only while rooms need heat.

Security without compromise.

We don’t just sync your school’s data; we protect it. We’re working towards three recognised standards, each to be verified independently:

ISO/IEC 27001

The internationally recognised standard for keeping information secure. Our certification is pending.

Cyber Essentials Plus

The government-backed scheme for protection against cyber threats, tested hands-on by an external assessor. Our certification is pending.

UK GDPR

Built to align fully with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our independent review is pending.

Goal 4: Quality education Target 4.a: learning environments

Warm for the first lesson

Thirty times fewer cold first lessons than a fixed 30‑minute pre-heat, in our simulation.2

Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy Target 7.3: energy efficiency

Less heating gas

Each room heated for its lessons and turned down when it is empty: up to 33% less term-time heating gas for a whole school, in our simulation.3

Goal 13: Climate action Goal 13: climate action

Less carbon

Gas not burnt is carbon not emitted: up to 33% less from a school’s heating in term time, in our simulation.3

The SDG logo and icons are the United Nations’, used as its guidelines for their use (the UN’s PDF, 5.7 MB) set out. Their use does not imply the United Nations’ endorsement of Sinc Energy, its products or its services.
