Real savings don’t start with one light switched off. They start with knowing when the house uses energy, and with automation that steps in before anything goes to waste. BARAQ brings consumption, lighting, heating and shading under one control.
What you don’t measure, you can’t manage
A consumption overview helps reveal when and where energy disappears. You see how the house behaves over time and can decide better which scenarios or rules make the most sense.
- Electricity: lights and equipment that shouldn’t run for nothing.
- Heating: a steady temperature without overheating.
- Water: spotting unusual consumption or a leak sooner.
Indicative savings potential
Public sources suggest roughly 5–10% for well-set heating control with setbacks, and about 10–20% on lighting operation. Automatic shading mainly affects the thermal load of rooms. These are indicative ranges, not a guaranteed saving for every house. The real result depends on the building envelope, the heat source, which way the windows face and how the household lives.
Automatic shading helps the climate indoors
Blinds and shutters can respond to the sun, the temperature and the time of day. In summer they help keep the interior from overheating; in winter they let the house make use of natural solar gain when it makes sense.
Lighting and heating have to work together
Automatic switch-off, night mode and scenes cut down on lights running for nothing. The heating plan, in turn, makes sure nothing is needlessly overheated: it controls each room separately and lowers the temperature during the day or at night wherever it can. The best result comes when the rules don’t meet by accident but are designed as a whole.
The goal isn’t just lower consumption. It’s steady comfort with less fiddling by hand.
A practical example
In the morning the house wakes up with soft light and opens the shading to suit the weather. During the day it keeps the interior from overheating. In the evening it sets a scene for the living room and, once you’ve left a room, switches off the lights where nobody is. You can always step in by hand, but the everyday running happens on its own.
