Where do EcoSmart systems work most effectively?

A highly specialized but easily adaptable & scalable solution, EcoSmart Energy Management can be applied to help clients across a vast array of vertical markets. EcoSmart is highly effective as a standalone solution or can be integrated into any number of systems for more advanced capabilities. Ideal building attributes for an EcoSmart system include...

  • Spaces with intermittent occupancy that cannot be easily scheduled such as hotel rooms, residence halls, assisted or independent living retirement communities, school classrooms, multifamily mid- and high-rises, medical facilities, and public housing.
  • Places where energy can be saved when controlled based on occupancy such as conference areas, laundry facilities, and workout rooms.
  • Properties without control of terminal HVAC units and other in-room energy loads, including those with a robust Building Automation System controlling the central plant.
  • Buildings in which HVAC and lighting control would normally be cost-prohibitive due to wiring and installation expenses.
  • Buildings with numerous terminal units or other unitary equipment.

Runtime Reduction

Much of the savings found in EcoSmart Intelligent Automation systems is through the recognition of reduced runtime from setback during periods of non-occupancy which would be difficult or impossible to capture with standard scheduling. Below are typical reductions in runtime across various industries and building types.

All values shown as a percentage of typical run hours.
