How Vericon Systems is Helping Plus Dane Housing Combat Damp and Mould
Plus Dane Housing, a social housing group managing over 13,000 homes across Cheshire and Merseyside, has taken a significant step towards enhancing the living conditions of its tenants. Through a new collaboration with Vericon Systems, Plus Dane is leveraging intelligent remote monitoring and management technology to address and prevent the harmful effects of damp and mould in its estate.
A Partnership for Healthier Homes
Plus Dane Housing is not just about providing homes; it’s about creating supportive environments where residents can live comfortably. This mission has led to the installation of Vericon’s Surveyor Cube system, a cutting-edge solution designed specifically to identify and mitigate the root causes of damp and mould issues within properties.
The Surveyor Cube system integrates Vericon’s plug-and-play boiler control module (BCM) with MultiDOT temperature and humidity level sensors. These components can be swiftly and easily installed throughout each property in mere minutes, requiring no specialist knowledge or tools. This ease of installation ensures minimal disruption while providing maximum impact.
Real-Time Monitoring and Management
One of the standout features of the Vericon system is its dedicated online portal. This platform enables Plus Dane to monitor and manage the environmental conditions of every home remotely. By instantly viewing and analyzing data on temperature and humidity levels, Plus Dane can proactively address issues before they escalate into significant problems.
Chris Roberts, Sustainability Manager at Plus Dane Housing, highlights the immediate benefits of this technology:
“Although the Vericon system has only been live for a matter of months, we are already seeing positive results,” he says. “With the ability to proactively monitor, manage, and evaluate humidity levels within our properties, we can prevent the build-up of damp and mould and all of the problems they bring. Vericon’s ongoing service and support has been first class.”
Technology for Better Living
The collaboration between Plus Dane Housing and Vericon Systems exemplifies how the appropriate use of technology can significantly improve residents’ welfare.
Bernard Cook, Managing Director at Vericon Systems, underscores the importance of this integration:
“The integration of connected technology for detecting damp and mould can play a vital role in improving the living conditions of residents and in demonstrating a landlord’s commitment to best practice.”
The advantages of connected technology for social housing providers are manifold. From enhancing efficiency and achieving cost savings to ensuring the well-being of residents, the benefits are clear and compelling.
Plus Dane Housing’s partnership with Vericon Systems showcases a proactive approach to maintaining healthy living environments for social housing residents. By embracing intelligent remote monitoring and management technology, Plus Dane is setting a benchmark for other housing providers to follow, demonstrating that innovation and care can go hand in hand to create better living conditions for all.
