Manage everyday HVAC operation

  • Maintain operating schedules, night setbacks, and temperature thresholds remotely.
  • Plan thermostat and sensor placement around rooftop unit operation.
  • Receive alerts about potential HVAC equipment issues, including fans and compressors.
  • Configure custom control strategies with no-code logic programming.

Account for the cost and timing of energy use

Control strategies can incorporate time-of-use tariffs, solar production, distributed resources, and demand response programs. These strategies connect building operation with the requirements of utilities, energy markets, and DERMS deployments.

Project-specific control strategies include:

  • Time-of-use and tariff-integrated schedules.
  • Day-ahead and real-time energy arbitrage.
  • Solar and distributed-energy-optimized scheduling.
  • Utility, investor-owned utility (IOU), and independent system operator (ISO) demand response programs.
  • Retail power supply integration and custom revenue streams.
  • Direct integration with energy markets, IOU platforms, and DERMS.

Applicable markets, program eligibility, equipment compatibility, and commercial arrangements are established for each deployment.

Existing equipment and new systems

An upgrade starts with the equipment already in place. We review the control requirements and communication needs of your site to define an integration approach.
