ecoTrend
The more you learn, the more you realize what you didn't know.
ecoTrend is a charting application that allows chain operators to analyze cost & performance trends of individual or groups of sites. The unique value of ecoTrend lies in identifying those sites whose performance falls outside of target efficiency zones.
- Establish Usage Standards
During the pre-activation monitoring phase, compare electricity consumption among similar size sites, and establish standards for usage & peak demand.
- Analyze Consumption Change
Observe the impact of automating HVAC systems to reduce runtime & operating cycles coordinated with occupied hours.
- Evaluate Compliance
Evaluate compliance with industry & agency regulations & establish measures to minimize exposure to violations.
- Monitor Asset Efficiency
Measure the impact of asset repair including reduced energy consumption, daily peak electricity demand, extended useful life & improved customer comfort.
- Test New Product Claims
Research potential asset upgrades by installing trial units in test sites. Observe electricity consumption to validate whether the manufacturer's suggested usage is accurate in your site environment.
Facility Reports
- Asset Efficiency Rankings prioritize equipment for maintenance attention
- Indoor Climate Reports identify sites with sub-standard comfort conditions
(temp. humidity, pressure)
- Asset Recovery Reports detail outages per period by asset type & resolution
- Notification & Alert Reports indicate the frequency & severity of asset malfunction
- HVAC Temperature Override Reports indicate the frequency of customer comfort
