NEXUS iQ: ENERGY

Where the hours go.

HVAC energy and runtime monitoring

Nexus iQ counts every zone-hour, every compressor start and every hour of out-of-hours running, straight from the units. Add a site meter and it turns that into kWh, dollars and peak demand.

RUNTIME FIRST

Runtime is the number you can act on.

Most HVAC energy waste is time, not temperature: zones running outside hours, plant that never satisfies, compressors that start and stop all day. Nexus iQ measures those directly from the units, so you get the answer without waiting for a bill.

Running out of hoursThe share of zone-hours outside 7:00 to 19:00, fleet-wide and per site

Zone-hours by modeHeat, cool, fan, auto and dry, counted at 30-second resolution

Load profileMeasured compressor duty by hour of day, weekday against weekend, over the last 28 days

Compressor behaviourStarts per unit per day and median run length, so short cycling shows up

WITH A METER

kWh, dollars and peak demand.

With a site meter connected, the Energy tab shows total energy, cost at your tariff, peak demand, outdoor-unit runtime and estimated COP, by day, week or month, with hourly consumption underneath.
