Energy Consumption ... The Problem

• Energy prices have risen significantly the recent years and are likely to remain high
• Heating and cooling account for ~40% of energy costs in buildings energy consumption (source)
• Common misconceptions about the function of thermostats results in extreme settings (e.g., 28˚C in the winter or 18 ˚C in the summer)
• Raising the temperature by 1 ˚C during an 8-hour shift can lead to 10% higher energy consumption and CO2 emissions (source)
• Significant energy is also lost by forgetting to switch off heating/cooling when in unused spaces (insufficient building insulation)

Introducing EdgeBX-ACE ... The Solution

Take control of your heating and cooling with EdgeBX-ACE and save up to 50% on heating/cooling costs. These smart controllers plug into your existing power lines and connect to your electrical switchboard. Using real-time room temperature data and global settings from the EdgeBX cloud app, they automatically optimize your system, even overriding local adjustments.

• EdgeBX-ACE timers automatically switch off A/C systems when out of hours
• Temperature Settings Control allows setting the optimal temperature levels for heating (Winter) and cooling (Summer). The season is detected automatically
• EdgeBX-ACE controls the A/C units to ensure the temperature is within the specified limits.

EdgeBX-ACE Software - Remote Control Interface

The software allows easy access to individual locations and areas. Settings can be easily adjusted for each unique area;

• Store / Unit Selector
• Store / Unit hours of operation
• Temperature gauges
• A/C status
• Local Temperature
• Min - Max Temp control

EdgeBX-ACE - Local Control Interface

In the event where High (Winter) or Low (Summer) temperature was detected:

• The buzzer sounds for 5 seconds and the display indicates the area requiring attention and its current temperature
• After 5, 10 and15 minutes, the buzzer will sound again if the temperature is still out of limits
• After 16 minutes, the power to the responsible A/C unit responsible will be disconnected.
• The power will be restored automatically when the temperature is within limits. The unit has to be manually turned on

Hardware
