Energy efficiency programs – Efficient equipment for businesses
Grant for a smart thermostat for your business
A smart thermostat is designed to maximize your comfort and peace of mind, offering you an effective way to better regulate your energy consumption.
Advantages of a smart thermostat
The main advantage of a smart thermostat is that it’s connected to a wireless Internet network, allowing you to control your business’s heating or cooling system remotely. The mobile app used to control your thermostat lets you do things like set the temperature in your premises, even when you’re away.
The mobile app also makes programming your thermostat a breeze. Once you put in the occupancy and set temperatures, the thermostat will adjust and provide personalized recommendations to improve your energy performance.
