Energy Management for Small Business

Your security system can do much more than protect your facilities, employees and assets. It can also help you lower costs by more efficiently managing your energy costs.

According to energystar.gov, 30 percent of the energy consumed in by business is wasted. That's why energy efficiency is the single largest way to eliminate this waste, reduce emissions, and save money.

You can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs by adding an easy-to-install Z-Wave thermostat. Once installed, you can control your heating and cooling system from your security system keypad. You can also adjust heating and cooling settings from your smartphone, table or computer. Or program your thermostat to adjust automatically each day with unique settings for hours the business is open and closed.

A real advantage of integrating your thermostat with your security system is that the temperature can automatically adjust based on arming status. Arm the system at the end of the day and the security system tells the thermostat to set back to a money-saving temperature.

If you have to go in on a day you're normally closed, you can remotely adjust the temperature so it will be comfortable when you arrive. And it gets better. You don't even have to remember to adjust the thermostat. You can program the temperature setting to occur on a schedule. Whether you want the thermostat to turn up at 7 am or turn down at 7 pm automatically, you can easily program these adjustment from the app or from myvirtualkeypad.com, so you can focus on more important things.
