Find the HVAC energy waste hiding in your utility bills
A degrading rooftop unit works twice as hard for half the output, and the utility bill will never tell you which one it is. Elite Energy Management tracks what every unit costs to run and flags the equipment that is quietly burning money, across every location, with no meters required.
Energy waste you cannot see, cannot fix
HVAC is one of the largest controllable expenses in a commercial building, and the most opaque. The bill arrives a month late, covers the whole building, and says nothing about which unit, which behavior, or which hours are responsible.
The utility bill is a dead end
One number for the whole building, thirty days after the fact. You cannot manage a cost you cannot break down, and the bill will never name the unit that caused the spike.
Degrading equipment burns money silently
A unit losing capacity keeps the space comfortable by running longer and staging harder. Comfort stays fine while the energy cost of delivering it climbs month after month.
After-hours runtime adds up
Units cooling empty buildings at 2am, schedule overrides that never got reset, equipment that runs while the building sleeps: it is invisible unless something is watching around the clock.
Identical sites, different bills, no explanation
Two similar locations in similar weather can differ wildly in HVAC cost. Without unit-level tracking, nobody can say why, so nobody can fix it.
How the platform tracks energy cost and waste
Elite Energy Management collects runtime and staging data from every rooftop unit every 60 seconds through your existing thermostats, applies your utility rate per location, and turns raw runtime into cost and waste visibility your team can act on.
- Cost per unit, per day, per week, per month, calculated at each location's actual utility rate, so numbers match your bills.
- Inefficient units flagged: equipment that runs hard and produces little stands out immediately, with an estimated dollar figure on the waste.
- After-hours and overtime runtime surfaced, so schedule problems and override habits stop hiding in the dark.
What Elite Energy Management does differently
Cost visibility is most valuable when it points at a fix. Every flagged unit comes with context: what the unit is doing, how that compares to its healthy baseline, and what to do about it.
Set your rate, see real dollars
Enter each location's utility rate, flat or otherwise, and every runtime number becomes a cost number. Comparisons across sites use the same normalized basis.
Waste with a name on it
Instead of "energy is up 8%," you see which unit at which location is responsible, what behavior changed, and the estimated dollars involved.
Waste and health, one investigation
Energy waste is often the first symptom of a mechanical problem. Flagged units carry their full health picture, so fixing the waste frequently prevents the failure too.
Benchmarks that create accountability
Anonymized peer comparisons show which locations run efficiently and which lag, giving operations teams a defensible basis for targets.
Burning electricity, producing nothing
At a commercial site in Tucson, a rooftop unit was running at 99.6% second stage compressor while delivering 0.6 degrees of cooling output, pure energy waste with a mechanical cause. Elite Energy Management flagged it 9 days before a technician confirmed a loose compressor belt. A 15 minute fix ended the waste and prevented a compressor failure that could have cost $5,000 or more.
No new hardware. No installation visits.
We integrate with the equipment your locations already have, including eViewIoT, Pelican Wireless, Honeywell Resideo, ecobee, and Sensi. If you do not have an energy management system yet, we partner with eViewIoT to get you connected. Data starts flowing in hours, and the AI starts learning your equipment on day one.
- No energy meters required. Cost tracking works from the runtime and staging data your thermostats already report.
- Monitoring is read only. We never take control of your equipment or change your setpoints.
- Pricing starts at $5 per unit per month, typically a small fraction of the waste it finds.
Common questions about energy waste tracking
No. The platform calculates HVAC energy costs from unit runtime and compressor staging at your utility rate, using data your existing thermostats already report. No meters, no electricians, no hardware.
Costs are calculated from actual per-minute runtime data at the utility rate you set per location, which makes them consistent, comparable across sites, and directionally reliable for finding waste and outliers.
Degrading equipment that runs long for little output, second stage compressor overuse, after-hours runtime in empty buildings, schedule overrides that never got reset, and locations that consistently underperform their peers.
Yes. Flagged units carry an estimated dollar figure for the excess runtime involved, so you can rank fixes by financial impact instead of guessing.
An audit is a snapshot by a consultant. This is continuous: every unit, every location, every day, with waste flagged as it develops rather than discovered a year later.
