| 14 | GBI Required Max Demand Limit Control Management | Requires third-party solutions or integrations. | Built-in features to manage and optimize max demand limits, complying with GBI requirements. |
| 15 | Rainwater and Grey Water Harvesting Data | Limited support; relies on custom modules. | Integrated data analytics for rainwater and grey water harvesting, providing actionable insights. |
| 16 | Advanced Solar Generated Electricity Dashboard | Custom dashboards possible with additional development. | Integrated data analytics for rainwater and grey water harvesting, providing actionable insights. |
| 17 | Solar Panel Efficiency and Health Analytics | Not natively supported; requires external tools. | Health analytics for solar panels (kWp/m²) based on solar radiation and temperature data, enabling smarter preventive maintenance. |
| 18 | Smart Air Conditioner Split Unit Control Management | Limited support with third-party integrations required. | Supports 90% of split unit air conditioner control management with smarter scheduler and smart energy-saving control. Compatible with brands like Daikin, York, Mitsubishi, Gree, Haier, Midea, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and more. |
| 19 | Proven Performance and Scalability | Closed system platform using proprietary brand specific DDC & Controller with Licensing. Using Legacy Architecture Platform with expensive licensing for each module or add-on both hardware & software making it difficult to upgrade. | EasiHVAC Lite Robust System Architecture & Platform is trusted by many Fortune 500 companies. It supports 100% open & hardware brand independent system architecture, ensuring future-proof scalability to upgrade to NEXTGEN CMMS, predictive maintenance, and AIoT digitalization aspirations. Support remote OTA upgrade |
EasiHVAC Lite is the ideal lightweight EMS with simplified advanced data analytics and expandable to full suite of NEXT-GEN Building Automation System for businesses prioritizing cost efficiency, real-time alerts, and simple yet effective energy monitoring and control. Niagara, while robust, may be overkill for straightforward setups and involves significantly higher long-term costs.
With the upcoming enforcement of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) in 2025, office buildings of 8,000 m² or larger must limit their Building Energy Intensity (BEI) to a maximum of 250 kWh/m²/year. This regulatory mandate places significant pressure on Registered Electrical Energy Managers (REEMs) and building owners to optimize energy consumption and maintain compliance through regular audits and reporting.
2. Automated Energy Analysis and Reporting:
EasiHVAC Lite empowers REEMs and building owners with an integrated digital solution to manage, optimize, and report energy performance seamlessly.
By leveraging real-time monitoring, AI-driven optimization, and automated reporting, the platform reduces the complexity of energy audits and ensures EECA compliance. This results in cost savings, enhanced operational efficiency, and a sustainable pathway toward achieving a BEI of ≤250 kWh/m²/year.
Tanand Technology Data Centre Monitoring System had greatly benefited the IT team by allowing monitoring the condition of our campus server rooms, anytime, anywhere. They had shown differences from the traditional solution provider by using the latest technology such as Internet of Things, Cloud Computing and Mobile Apps solution Cost of Ownership is much economical compare to other solution providers too.
