Inside Motili’s New Carbon Calculator

Real estate technology company Motili has launched a new carbon calculator that will give real estate owners a insight into their HVAC system environmental impact. The calculator will provide data on carbon emissions associated with HVAC systems. With the tool, owners can anticipate HVAC repair and replacement needs.

“The Motili Carbon Calculator uses real HVAC data from a customer’s property or portfolio of properties to provide an accurate estimate of both financial savings—by cutting energy costs –and the environmental benefits of energy reduction such as decreased carbon emissions,” Maria Agazio, sustainability and energy efficiency lead of the inside sales team at Motili, tells GlobeSt.com. “This allows them to make strategic sustainability decisions that will increase their NOI in the long run.”

The calculator launch follows the introduction of the Motili Asset Condition Index earlier this year, and it leverages this tool’s technology. “Over the past year, Motili significantly ramped up efforts in the multifamily and commercial space by collecting data about thousands of HVAC units across the country. To leverage the data we have in our platform, Motili rolled out a tool called the Motili Asset Condition Index,” says Agazio. “In essence, MACI provides Motili customers with a 360-degree view of their HVAC assets, that can be examined at the property level or as an entire portfolio overview. The advantage of this robust tool is that it provides customers with the condition and efficiency of all HVAC units on their properties.”

The calculator is on the company’s website, and can be used by any owner. The Motili Carbon Calculator benefits property owners and operators who are not yet Motili customers, as well, as long as they have a grasp of the efficiency of the HVAC units on their properties,” says Agazio. “The way the tool works is fairly straight-forward. A customer plugs in the average SEER, tonnage, and age of the existing units at their property, then they plug in the SEER and tonnage of the units they would like to upgrade to and the number of units they would like to upgrade.”

The overall goal, of course is focused on energy savings for commercial owners. “Naturally, this lead to the development of the Motili Carbon Calculator which uses MACI data to provide a clear picture of both financial savings, energy savings and the carbon reduction customers can achieve by updating older HVAC systems to newer, higher efficiency systems,” says Agazio.
