Room Alert Drives Facilities’ Energy Efficiency

Escalating energy costs, substantiated by data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), are a significant concern for businesses of all sizes. Proactive energy management is the superior strategy for eliminating waste and optimizing consumption.

The Economic Reality of Energy Costs

Inflationary pressures and global supply chain disruptions have created a perfect storm for rising energy expenses. Businesses can no longer afford reactive approaches to energy management. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports significant variations in electricity prices across states, highlighting the complex economic challenge facing commercial enterprises.

HVAC systems alone account for nearly 40% of commercial energy consumption in the United States, presenting a massive opportunity for optimization. This staggering statistic underscores the critical need for proactive energy management solutions that can provide critical insights and actionable recommendations.

Room Alert: A Proactive Solution for Energy Management

Room Alert offers a game-changing approach to energy efficiency through advanced environment monitoring. Our solution provides businesses with real-time data and insights to optimize energy usage and reduce waste. By deploying Room Alert hardware throughout critical areas of a facility, businesses gain precise visibility into environment factors that directly influence energy consumption.

This granular data empowers facility managers to make informed decisions and take immediate action to address potential inefficiencies.

Energy Savings Through Precise Monitoring

1. HVAC Optimization:

• HVAC optimization represents a valuable area of potential energy savings. Our wide variety of temperature and humidity sensors enable businesses to identify and correct HVAC inefficiencies. Real-time data reveals areas of overcooling or overheating, allowing for precise thermostat adjustments and optimized HVAC performance.
• Maintaining optimal humidity levels reduces strain on HVAC systems, resulting in significant energy savings. For example, if a business is unoccupied every weekday from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am and all weekend, setting thermostats 10 degrees lower during unoccupied times could result in 20% to 40% energy savings.

2. Data Center Efficiency:

• Data centers are significant energy consumers, with cooling systems comprising a large portion of operational costs. Room Alert’s environment monitoring is essential for data center operators seeking to optimize their energy consumption.
• By monitoring temperature and airflow within server racks, facilities can optimize cooling efficiency and prevents hot spots, reducing excessive cooling requirements. This proactive approach not only saves energy but also extends the lifespan of critical equipment and reduces the risk of costly outages.
• Additionally, our power monitoring capabilities provide rack-level energy usage insights, enabling businesses to identify and address inefficient servers. The critical sensor data provided by Room Alert can then be used to optimize power distribution and reduce overall energy consumption.
