Commercial smart thermostats help business owners spend less on energy by giving them increased control over HVAC usage. They aren’t just programmable thermostats; smart thermostats store performance data, are remotely operable and can even learn your business’ comfort needs to provide a consistent environment more efficiently.
With very little effort, businesses can lower utility costs and improve the efficiency of their HVAC by upgrading to a commercial smart thermostat. Here’s why your business should make the switch:
Smart thermostats save businesses money
Because commercial smart thermostats operate on a set schedule, they help businesses reduce off-hour energy usage. As commercial smart thermostats pick up on your business’ schedule and temperature preferences, they make automatic adjustments to optimize HVAC performance. Without having to adjust your thermostat’s settings manually, your business will consume less energy, helping you save on utility costs.
Tracking HVAC usage helps businesses find areas for improvement
Commercial smart thermostats help businesses operate more efficiently by illustrating how much energy is being used through monthly energy usage reports. You can use these reports to compare HVAC performance over time and identify patterns that are impacting energy usage. You can make data-driven decisions using the information in these reports to further reduce energy use and maximize your bill savings.
Remote thermostat controls provide an added layer of convenience
The ability to adjust temperatures from anywhere is especially useful if your business has multiple locations or varying operating hours. As an example, if one location closes early one day, you can adjust the temperature of that building on your phone and not worry about it changing the thermostat’s settings. It will revert to its set schedule the next day.
