Save Energy with the MyTemp™ System
You can save energy by setting the thermostat higher in the
summer and lower in the winter, but this will make you and your
family uncomfortable. Now, there is a way to save energy while still
keeping everyone comfortable – all of the time and in every room.
Using your existing heating and cooling equipment, the MyTemp™
Temperature Control and Energy Management system provides
independent temperature control for every room, even bathrooms.
You can automatically control the temperature in each room based
on when and how it is used. Rooms receive just the right amount of
conditioning when used and less conditioning when not in use.
Independent studies have found that for larger homes with smaller
families, heating and cooling costs can be reduced by up to 40%
when using the MyTemp system.
Five ways the MyTemp system can help you reduce your energy
costs while improving the comfort of your home:
REDUCE OVERCONDITIONING
Your central thermostat controls the average temperature in your home. As some rooms warm up, other rooms are cooled down to keep the average the same. In the summer, homeowners set the thermostat an average of 3 degrees lower than their true “comfort temperature” to keep their warm rooms
comfortably cool; therefore, other rooms in the house receive more
cooling than needed. In the winter, the reverse situation (3 degrees
higher) keeps cool rooms comfortably warm, while other rooms
receive more heating than needed. Thus, conditioning individual
rooms with the MyTemp system is equivalent to reducing overall
conditioning by 3 degrees, thus saving about 10% in energy costs.
Reduce Your Energy Costs
with the MyTemp™ System
1. Reduce Overconditioning
2. Reduce Conditioning in Unused Rooms
3. Use The AWAY Mode When Your
Home Is Empty
4. Smart Circulation™ Balances Temperatures
Without Using Heating or Cooling
5. Information on Energy Usage Helps You
Make Smart Decisions
REDUCE CONDITIONING IN UNUSED ROOMS
A family of four typically occupies less than half the
square footage of the average house, and none of it
when away. With the MyTemp system, you can easily
set temperature schedules that match your family’s daily living
pattern, and rooms will automatically be conditioned less when
not in use. For rooms like a home office and guest bedrooms that
are not routinely used, the SAVER mode reduces conditioning
when unoccupied. When in use, you can reactivate normally
scheduled conditioning. A typical family of four in a 3000 sq ft
home can save 10% – 20% in energy costs by using temperature
schedules and the SAVER mode of the MyTemp system.
With a MyTemp™ system,
reducing the conditioning
in unused rooms is as easy
as pressing a button.
USE THE AWAY MODE WHEN YOUR HOME IS EMPTY
The AWAY feature of the MyTemp system reduces conditioning when your home is unoccupied for longer periods of time, such as a vacation or weekend getaway> You can set the time and date of your return, so the system will ensure that your home will be comfortable when you walk in. Dependingf on your family”s lifestyle, use of the AWAY mode can save you up to 5% in energy costs.
SMART CIRCULATION BALANCES TEMPERATURES WITHOUT USING HEATING OR COOLING
Heat sources (sunshine, people. electrical equipment, fireplace, etc.) can make a single room too warm while other rooms are too cool. If the house as a whole does not need heating or cooling, the MYTEMP system will use circulation to mix air from the warm rooms with air from the cool rooms. Meanwhile, rooms at the right temperature receive no circulation at all. Especially in multi-story homes, this significantly improves your comfort level while saving you 5% – 10% in energy costs.
INFORMATION ON ENERGY USAGE HELPS YOU MAKE SMART DECISIONS
The MyTemp system details the cost for heating and cooling your entire home as well as each individual room during the past 24 hours. With this information, you know exactly how much you spent and what setting changes you could make to save energy. It also will predict how each setting change Will affect your annual heating and cooling costs, Thus allowing you to make smarter decisions and save money.
