TORONTO — ecobee Inc., makers of the Smart and Smart Si thermostats, has announced the beta launch of Home IQ™, a value-added service that provides customers with personalized insights into their home’s energy efficiency.

“ecobee’s Home IQ takes thousands of data points, automatically collected through a customer’s ecobee thermostat, and uses advanced math and physics to create a model that learns about our customers’ home, and provides them with insights into their home’s energy performance,” said Stuart Lombard, ecobee’s president and CEO. “Over the last three years, ecobee has collaborated with some of the brightest scientists in the field of energy conservation. We’re delighted to announce the beta launch of this unique and innovative ecobee service.”

ecobee’s Home IQ is integrated into the customer’s ecobee Web Portal. Home IQ displays the customer’s ecobee rating (a relative assessment of a home’s energy performance), estimated monthly energy savings, monthly heating and cooling summaries, details on performance influencing factors such as the weather and average set point, HVAC runtime reports, and more.
