Bromford Flagship has won Aico’s Smart Social Spaces competition, winning the installation of Aico’s award-winning home life safety systems in ten of its properties. The prize includes Aico’s gateway, 3000 Series alarms and environmental sensors.
The competition was open to members of Aico’s Social Housing Professionals Network, with Bromford Flagship’s winning entry focused on the safety and energy efficiency of its properties. The housing provider also wanted to use Aico’s technology to tackle asset management, compliance, disrepair, fuel poverty and improving residents’ wellbeing.
Bromford Flagship plans to use the pilot installations to target properties with electric heating systems, with the aim of reducing the frequency of annual visits to residents by enabling remote monitoring through the Aico gateway.
Paul House, M&E programme manager, Bromford, said, “We’re thrilled to have won this competition and to partner with Aico on this project because this initiative aligns perfectly with our ‘customer obsession’ goals.”
Aico’s HomeLink environmental sensors connect to the gateway, providing real-time data on temperature, humidity and air quality to identify properties with an increased risk of developing damp and mould.
Importantly, the HomeLink technology can differentiate between environmental and structural causes of damp and mould through its ‘signature of mould’ functionality. This distinction enables targeted solutions, whether addressing ventilation problems or underlying structural problems.
