Everybody is experiencing the pain of rising energy prices. According to the DOE Office of Electricity, “Demand Response provides an opportunity for consumers to play a significant role in the operation of the electric grid by reducing or shifting their electricity usage during peak periods in response to time-based rates or other forms of financial incentives.” Electric providers reward consumers using Demand Response with energy credits or cash rebates that reduce their overall utility costs. One challenge is the limited time window available to react to utility demand response notifications. Learn how Network Thermostat lets you take advantage of these rebates simply and efficiently.

To support the learning needs of an ever-growing student population, thousands of schools across the nation use portable classrooms as a lower cost alternative to new building projects.  Little more than poorly insulated, open-spaced trailers, these mobile facilities are energy leeches that eat into a school’s already slim budget.  Highly inefficient, overused, and undermanaged HVAC is the largest abuser of energy use in these facilities. It’s common for these units to be controlled with simple programmable thermostats that teachers and staff can leave running continuously at occupied setpoints, further exacerbating the energy usage in these buildings.
