Energy Efficiency & Tenant Comfort—All in One Platform
Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) like apartments, condos, and student housing demand more than just standard HVAC control—they require scalable, secure, and flexible solutions that balance tenant satisfaction with operational efficiency. Network Thermostat delivers powerful connected thermostat technology that makes it easy to manage energy usage across one building or an entire portfolio.

Why MDU's Choose NetX
Centralized Control for Distributed Units
With NetX cloud-connected thermostats and scheduling tools, property managers and facility operators can monitor and control multiple units from a single interface—no matter the location. Whether managing 10 units or 1,000, you can set schedules, push updates, and lock controls remotely.
Save Energy Without Sacrificing Comfort
Reduce energy waste with features like auto-recovery, intelligent setback, and real-time alerts for temperature anomalies, offline devices, or system inefficiencies. Our thermostats support occupancy detection, wired or wireless sensors, and full BACnet/IP and Modbus integration to align with your building systems.
Protect Your Valuable Assets
Avoid costly repairs and premature equipment wear. Monitor system performance and catch issues early with alerts for rapid temperature changes, short cycling, or excessive run times. Use water leak sensors under sinks, faucets, and appliances to monitor even unoccupied units. Ideal for preventing abuse in student housing, extended-stay, or vacation rentals.
Streamlined Installation and Scalable Deployment
MDU properties vary widely in size, age, and HVAC system complexity. That’s why our thermostats are engineered for flexibility—with support for both retrofit and new construction environments. Whether you're working with PTACs, fan coil units, or conventional split systems, NetX thermostats install quickly and scale effortlessly across multiple properties. With easy provisioning tools and configuration templates, contractors and integrators can deploy units faster and with fewer headaches.

Why Network Thermostat?
Edge Intelligence for Rapid Response
Network Thermostat processes data right at the device, sometimes called edge intelligence. By reducing reliance on external connectivity, you get real-time insights and immediate adjustments to temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality (IAQ), helping maintain ideal indoor conditions effortlessly.
Connectivity & Protocol Support
Seamlessly connect over Wi-Fi or Ethernet with optional cloud management and support for any existing building systems using industry-standard communication protocols (like BACnet and Modbus). NetX “speaks the same language” as your current network and equipment, maximizing compatibility and protecting your investments.
Scalability & Flexibility
From single-store boutiques to nationwide chains, retail spaces vary enormously in size and design. Network Thermostat adapts to different HVAC configurations, equipment, and building layouts with ease, ensuring you only pay for the features you need today and will grow with you into the future.
Sophisticated Control Strategies
Capabilities such as demand-based ventilation, optimal start/stop, and indoor air quality (IAQ) control allow you to fine-tune HVAC operations for both comfort and efficiency. These strategies automatically adjust system behavior and trigger real-time alerts via text and email for critical information.
Remote Monitoring & Management
Gain instant, secure access to your HVAC systems from anywhere. Our user-friendly interface makes it simple to view performance data, change setpoints, or troubleshoot issues off-site, ultimately reducing man-hours through fewer truck rolls and avoiding needless windshield time.
Easy Deployment & Seemless Retrofit
Deploy NetX thermostats in hours, not days. Our form factor covers common commercial backplate designs, allowing simple swap-outs with minimal rewiring. Optional factory pre-programming and coordinated IT support streamline rollouts at every scale so your stores stay open and comfortable throughout the installation.
