About Efficiency Technologies, Inc.
Chillers are the single largest energy consumer in most business facilities and can account for up to 40% of a facility's electrical usage. Chillers can waste up to 30% in additional energy through inefficiency. A 15% chiller energy savings could equal a 6% reduction of the energy bill. EffTrack collects accurate hourly chiller operating data, performs complex engineering analysis and trends chiller performance. It diagnoses causes of inefficiency, notifies plant operators and facility managers when problems occur and recommends corrective action. By following the EffTrack recommendations for improvement, plant operators can significantly lower the chiller plan energy consumption. These savings are identified and measured in the EffTrack reports, which can be accessed from any computer with internet access. EffTec is an ENERGY STAR partner.
