Paying close attention to your HVAC system can have a big payoff. Commercial real estate owners tracking HVAC consumption can better plan capital expenditures and maintenance budgets. Motili recently launched a carbon calculator that allows owners to look at their HVAC data at a glance, and the benefits of this data are significant.

"With the combination of the data available in MACI from the asset tag process and the calculator tool, Motili customers have clear visibility into the condition of their HVAC assets—something most of our customers have never had before.

One major advantage of having access to this information is it allows customers to accurately plan capital expenditure and maintenance budgets whereas—in the past—this was often somewhat of a guessing game," Maria Agazio, sustainability and energy efficiency lead of the inside sales team at Motili, tells GlobeSt.com. "Accurately planning budgets means less potential for a budget surplus, or worse, an unexpected deficit when units fail during the hot summer or cold winter seasons."
