How Do We Calculate Your Energy Savings
How air conditioners consume energy
- Air conditioners (AC) use energy based on how much cooling they need to provide.
- The bigger the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, the harder the AC works to reach the desired level.
- This is why hotels use more energy when the outdoor temperature is hotter, even if the AC runs for the same amount of time.
SensorFlow saves energy by adjusting the setpoint
SensorFlow automatically adjusts AC settings to higher temperatures or turns off cooling when rooms are empty. It also limits the lowest setpoint to prevent overcooling, saving energy without sacrificing comfort.
Good to know: A setpoint is the temperature that is selected on the thermostat
