This report aims to investigate the possibility of making roof gutter heating systems more energy efficient while maintaining their performance. With a societal target of becoming climate-neutral, all energy use needs to be minimized and without previous research on the subject, real estate owners may have overused electricity in their efforts. The report assesses available conventional systems, how they work, and their composition. With the help of meteorological data a new system was created that would reduce energy use drastically. The findings state that depending on the earlier system installed by companies the new improved system would only use between 2.5-52% of the energy used by the conventional systems. This is largely because the conventional systems are primitive and has not been updated to a central and internet-connected control system. It is this implementation of online meteorological data and using that data in developed dynamic controlling systems that has led to a decrease in energy use for roof gutter heating systems.
