How Much Energy? Who is Redshift Wireless and why should I spend money with them? • www.redshiftwireless.com
Disclaimer • Giving exact numbers for savings is very hard, as every user is different. • What we do is assist you to save energy. How much energy you save depends on how you use our technology and how much you use at the moment • Understand the concepts within this document to determine if this solution is right for you.
What Usage Patterns Mean • There are about 8760 hours per year. Every hour that the Air Conditioner is turned off saves money • An Air Conditioner running ONLY school hours runs 1260 hours/year • Even if it costs $0.58/hour to run this, it is still expensive
This makes assumptions such as • The same heating or cooling is needed on weekends • Heating and cooling energy use at night is similar to during the day
Some Assumptions • This means Split System HVAC units cost between $0.24 and $0.48/hour to run depending on tariff • Split Systems HVAC conservatively consume an average of about 15A, or 3600W on maximum • Assume that on average they will consume 1/3rd of this averaged over each hour • Electricity is commonly $0.20 to $0.40 per kWh
Filters • Dirty filters can increase energy consumption by 10-15% • During Q4 2014 we will be implementing an intelligent algorithm advising when filters should be cleaned • This will take into account the fan settings and the number of hours the unit is operating • Our aim is to prompt you to clean filters when they are about to start costing you money
Lost Remotes • Each lost remote control is commonly worth between $20 and $50 • Batteries also need to be replaced • Batteries are cheap, but they take valuable time to replace • Getting rid of remotes not only saves the cost of replacement, but batteries and the cost of staff time replacing remotes.
Accidental Usage • Think about this: • How many times have you come in the next day or after a weekend and found the heating and cooling on? • Redshift Wireless can automate turning Air Conditioners on and Off, saving your business real money!
