November Energy Efficiency: Seasonal Tips for Your Smart Thermostat

November Energy Efficiency: Seasonal Tips for Your Smart Thermostat

by ENA Team

 

As temperatures begin to drop and the holiday season approaches, it's essential for businesses to optimize their energy consumption. A smart thermostat can be a powerful tool in achieving this goal. Here are some seasonal tips tailored to businesses:

1. Leverage Peak and Off-Peak Rates

Identify Optimal Times: Collaborate with your energy provider to determine peak and off-peak hours. (We frequently work with utilities, so don’t be afraid to contact us to learn more.)

Schedule accordingly: Use your smart thermostat to program temperature adjustments during these times. For example, you might set a higher temperature during off-peak hours when energy costs are lower and a lower temperature during peak hours when costs are higher.

2. Optimize Heating Schedule

Consider Business Hours: Adjust your thermostat's schedule to align with your business' operating hours. For example, if your business closes early, you can program the thermostat to lower the temperature during non-business hours. ENASTAT’s Calendar 365 feature allows you to set schedules for exact calendar days.

Temperature Zoning: If your business has multiple floors or areas with different heating and cooling needs, consider using a smart thermostat with zoning capabilities. This allows you to control temperatures in specific areas, reducing energy waste.

3. Implement Occupancy Sensors

Automate Temperature Control: Integrate occupancy sensors with your smart thermostat. This will automatically adjust temperatures based on whether a space is occupied, ensuring that energy is not wasted heating or cooling empty areas.

4. Utilize Remote Monitoring and Control

Monitor Energy Usage: Use your smart thermostat's remote monitoring features to track your business' energy consumption, like the ENAlytics available via ENASTAT’s app or web dashboard. This can help you identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about energy usage.

Make Adjustments on the Go: If you notice that your business is using more energy than usual, you can make adjustments remotely to reduce consumption.

5. Consider Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Upgrade HVAC Systems: If your business' HVAC system is outdated, consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient model. A smart thermostat can help you get the most out of your new system.

Insulation and Sealing: Ensure that your building is well-insulated and properly sealed to prevent heat loss or gain.

By following these tips and leveraging the capabilities of your smart thermostat, businesses can significantly reduce their energy consumption and costs during the November season and beyond. Happy heating!
