Manufacturer of IAQ solutions for commercial buildings and homes, Airthings, has launched a new solution for HVAC professionals called the Energy Efficiency Toolkit.
The toolkit uses air quality data to balance health and energy-efficiency in any building, the dashboard feature provides customers with the data they need to identify unnecessary energy expenditure.
The HVAC industry can check out the new software feature in the Airthings for Business Dashboard.
Unnecessary heating and cooling is a massive source of wasted energy, especially in the hours when people are not present in buildings. In fact, buildings use 40 per cent of the world’s energy, and 30 per cent of that comes from heating, ventilation, cooling and lighting. Airthings’ Energy Efficiency Toolkit helps customers significantly reduce energy waste on ventilation, cooling, heating and lighting by providing them with actionable data & insights that can point to when and where HVAC systems are being overused.
An optimized HVAC schedule is created by analyzing the aggregated air quality data gathered through Airthings’ award-winning wireless sensors for every building in the customer’s portfolio.
Airthings CEO, Oyvind Birkenes, said customers that have used the solution over the past year have reduced energy costs, on average, by 20 per cent.
“Skyrocketing energy prices have a huge impact on the bottom line for businesses and building tenants everywhere. By expanding the energy-saving features in our commercial solution, we’re empowering our customers to make informed decisions that generate financial savings for their spaces and help them reach their goals - all while fostering a healthy indoor climate for occupants,” he said.
