The system has operated without interruption from the start and our total energy consumption has decreased by 14 per cent after its deployment. Currently, we are using waste heat to heat our Lemp\u00e4\u00e4l\u00e4 production plant and its domestic water. A similar amount of energy would be sufficient to heat almost 180 detached houses.
