Reduce energy consumption from central HVAC systems in a Senior Care Facility while maintaining or even improving occupant comfort. KPI’s to be reduced are GHG’s (greenhouse gasses) and utility consumption quantity and cost of electricity (kWh’s) and natural gas (GJ).

Ecopilot software is an add-on to an existing Building Automation System (BAS) that uses real-time data, indoor wireless temperature sensors, 5-day weather forecasts to exploit the building thermal mass to provide heating and maintain cooling within higher mass concrete building structures. The technology consists of hardware and software containing real time AI (artificial intelligence) algorithm that sends temperature setpoint offsets to central HVAC systems and creates dynamic scheduling of start and stop times of central HVAC equipment, such as boilers, chillers or AHU’s (air handling units).

“Ecopilot’s iBOS software harnesses the existing thermal mass of a building, incorporates weather forecasting and optimizes for occupant comfort and energy savings using AI algorithms. SSRIA’s Innovation Fund is supporting the first Senior Care pilot project in Alberta in an effort to avoid unnecessary energy consumption costs and reduce environmental impact.”
