  • “I didn’t know what a difference my electric plug-in heaters were making. I didn’t realise how bad they could be for energy usage, and I was just so unaware of how much electricity they used. Now I know, it’s easier to make changes.“

  • “To me, the Utopi App is a great way to keep track of both my energy usage but also the environment in my room, so for example I can check on my way home how cold my room got during the day.”

  • “Utopi helps you be more aware of your energy use to enable you to make a conscious effort to reduce it.”

  • "Love it, such a great idea, more accommodations should use it!!"

  • "If I was offered prizes as for living more sustainably it would definitely motivate me, depending on what it was and what steps I had to take. I already try to act sustainably through purchases and the food I eat, but there’s some things that I would struggle to adapt."

Real Residents. Real Impact.

Hear from a resident who used Utopi data and tips from her site team to help reduce and control her energy usage. Read her story, her top tips for reducing energy consumption, and what she learned from making small changes to her heating behaviour.

“I really don’t like the cold, so I was aware my overuse would be in the winter... So, I approached change in a few ways:

  • Reducing the use of my electric heaters – this was my main issue. I reduced using them all day to only using for 1 hour after my showers, when I was the coldest.

  • I then concentrated on using the studio heating, and not plug in electric heaters.

  • I started using hot water bottles – to heat myself and not the space.”

Our Drivers for Change.

The Energy Saving Trust recommends heating a home to between 18 to 21°C during winter. Despite this, Utopi has uncovered a pattern of overheating in Student and Managed Accommodation that we aim to address, to create more comfortable and more sustainable living environments for residents.

27%

of PBSA Residents leave their heating on when they’re away for the weekend.

26°C

is the avg. temperature of the 90th percentile for PBSA Residents in the UK.

25°C

is the avg. temperature of the 90th percentile for PBSA Residents during the Christmas period.

22.5°C

is the avg. PBSA space temperature when unoccupied.

These numbers are more than just data, they’re key drivers behind our mission to create better living conditions and a more sustainable future. Every metric reflects the positive changes happening in real homes, from improved comfort and efficiency to smarter, greener choices. At Utopi, we use these insights to keep moving forward, so residents like you can live better, every day.
