About Us

Insentiv: Pioneers in Energy Efficiency Solutions

About us

At InSentiv, we focus on one thing: making building heating smarter, more efficient, and better for both operators and residents. Through years of development, we’ve created a system that helps PBSA operators cut energy waste, improve resident comfort, and reduce heating bills — all without sacrificing control.

Our intelligent platform ensures rooms are heated only when needed — never overheating empty spaces — while giving operators real-time insight into usage, comfort levels, and building performance. Whether retrofitting older electric heaters or optimising modern systems, InSentiv adapts to the building and to the behaviour of the people living in it.

The result?

Lower costs. Lower carbon. Happier residents.

And a simple, scalable solution that works for both new build and existing stock.

At InSentiv, we believe efficient buildings should also be comfortable buildings — and we're here to help operators achieve both.
