Many utility companies use peak-demand based pricing model. They charge you for total amount of electricity used plus the peak demand your facility requires. Motison CyberStats are in a unique position to help lower your facility's peak demand and uitility bills. All CyberStats within the facility work together as a team to negotiate a turn-on slot for themselves. These turn-on slots are spread evenly over time to flaten the demand curve. It doesn't reduce your overall electricity use or your comfort but it reduces the peak electricty requirements.

In this chart, you can track the peak demand reduction performance. The ideal scenario would be when the peak-demand curve exactly follows the average curve. You are not going to get that. That would require cycling the thermostats too often. However, the more CyberStats you have in the facility the closer you will get to the ideal curve. Also, keep in mind that this data only represents demand generated by HVAC units under CyberStats' control. It doesn't include demand coming from other appliances in your facility.

To evaluate the peak demand reduction you can turn off the feature in your property settings and see normally what is the peak deviation from average.

In this chart, you can track how many thermostats are running in an energy-saving mode. Light green bars represent the sensor-detected unoccupied rooms where the thermostat is running in standby mode. In standby mode, temperature setting is lowered by 10°F, lowering the HVAC power consumption by 30%. Dark green bars represent the rooms where the thermostat has been turned off by the user, desktop app or a program. HVAC power consumption is reduced by 100% when the thermostat is off. While turning off the thermostat gives you the most energy savings, care must be taken to not discomfort your guests and to prevent damage caused by extreme weather.

CyberStat uses a proprietary sensing technology to determine when a room is unoccupied. This technology combines the magnetic door sensor and Passive Infra Red (PIR) motion sensor into a small module installed on the door frame. An onboard computer constantly monitors the activity on user interface, door movement and human motion near entrance to determine the room occupancy with 99% accuracy. It works way better than systems that consider human motion alone.

You can save even more energy by lowering or turning off the thermostats from your desktop app or using a program. Create and save up to five different programs for your property, and choose a program based on the use case. For example, apply different programs for breakfast area and guest rooms.
