Sept. 18, 2013: ecobee Partners with Electricity Maine and Thayer for Efficiency Project
Pilot Project Provides Maine Businesses with Latest Wi-Fi Connected Thermostats
TORONTO and AUGUSTA, Maine — ecobee has announced a new partnership with Electricity Maine and Thayer Corp. to conduct a pilot project as part of the Efficiency Maine Innovation Program. For this project, select small- to medium-size businesses (SMB) in Maine will be provided with ecobee’s Wi-Fi connected Energy Management System Si (EMS Si) thermostat, at no cost, so they can better manage their energy consumption, which in turn will reduce costs.
Electricity Maine will select Maine businesses to participate in the pilot project and Thayer will install the EMS Si. Using ecobee’s proprietary DataRhythm Technology™, the thermostat will track real-time information related to occupancy schedules, building performance, HVAC system run times, and local weather conditions in order to optimize for energy efficiency. The companies will also be able to view energy usage data and reports to better understand and manage their organization’s energy consumption.
