An Ecobee thermostat set to 72 degrees

Full featured building automation for smaller, stand-alone buildings.

The Ecobee Energy Management System (EMS) is perfect for applications where a simple thermostat is not enough and a full-scale building automation system is too complex and expensive.

The Ecobee Energy Management System (EMS) is the newest technology designed for the commercial market. It is perfect for situations where a simple thermostat is not enough and a full-scale building automation system is too complex and expensive, including:

  • Commercial Office Buildings
  • Car Dealerships
  • Retail
  • Schools
  • Banks
  • Multi-family dwellings
  • Religious congregations

Ecobee EMS has an average payback of less than two years.

The Ecobee’s intelligent algorithms use thousands of data points to optimize for comfort when a building is occupied, and save energy when it’s not.

  • Administrators have complete control of thermostat settings and can establish different permissions for building managers and other employees. Additionally, administrators can limit employee access or lock out thermostats to minimize energy waste.
  • With Ecobee EMS, you can automate ancillary devices to further maximize savings. Additional sensors can send an automatic alert when a door is left open, or automatically turns off the lights when the building is unoccupied.
  • The Ecobee’s remote diagnostics and reporting tools provide insight to help you remotely identify and assess problems, reducing administration time and HVAC service costs.
  • With Ecobee EMS, you can easily apply standardized operating procedures across all locations so that you’re always running the right schedule in the right place at the right time, maximizing efficiency.
  • Avoid costly downtime and unplanned service calls with EMS alerts and reminders
  • Manage an unlimited number of thermostats and users across multiple locations.
