Sept. 7, 2012: Energy Management System Offers HVAC Cost of Cooling Reporting for Commercial Buildings
AUSTIN, Texas — Incenergy has announced availability of a new Cost of Cooling Reports software feature as part of its wireless energy management system. According to the company, these reports allow calculation of HVAC-specific energy use for the commercial buildings market, which previously did not have access to this data.
Isolating the energy costs associated with HVAC use has previously presented a problem for commercial building facility managers, said the company. HVAC units often don’t have a dedicated electricity meter, but instead share meters with a wide variety of other equipment. Without the ability to separate the cost of cooling from other parts of their utility bill, most facility managers have been unable to quantify HVAC-related energy use and savings.
