A cost-of-cooling-reports software feature is now available as part of the Building Portfolio wireless energy-management system. These reports allow calculation of HVAC-specific energy use to a market segment that previously did not have access to this data. The cost-of-cooling reports feature is designed to give facility managers the tools to reduce their energy use and the visibility to make informed decisions. The Building Portfolio energy-management system is designed to be easy to install, making it affordable for existing low-rise commercial building retrofits. It controls smart thermostats and lighting, offers submeter electricity monitoring, and produces cost-of-cooling reports based on thermostats alone, all done remotely through a computer, iPad, or smartphone. —Incenergy
