Sensi smart thermostat helps homeowners save
about 23 percent on HVAC energy consumption
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a leader in the thermostat and HVAC
controls industry, today announced its top-rated Sensi™ smart
thermostats have received the ENERGY STAR® certification, an
official endorsement of the products’ energy-saving and
cost-efficient benefits for consumers.
ENERGY STAR, a joint program between the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy, is a widely
recognized energy-savings certification based on real-world data
and user interaction with the product.
Both the Sensi™ Touch Wi-Fi® Thermostat and Sensi™ Wi-Fi®
Thermostat can save users about 23 percent of HVAC energy
consumption, by adjusting the temperature using flexible
scheduling, remote access and geofencing*. Many customers can also
enhance cost savings with rebates offered through utility and
energy companies, which may require a thermostat to be ENERGY STAR
certified.
“Comfort and energy efficiency are important topics for
homeowners, and the HVAC system plays a vital role in both,” said
Bob Sharp, executive president of Emerson Commercial &
Residential Solutions. “Up to half of a home energy bill can be
driven by heating and cooling, and factors such as temperature,
humidity and air movement are key elements for comfort. With our
new Sensi capabilities, including the ENERGY STAR certification,
we’re proud to play a role in helping customers realize significant
benefits in both areas.”
Sensi thermostat users have additional options to increase the
energy efficiency of their HVAC systems. Using the circulating fan
feature, customers can program the fan to move air even when the
system is not running, which helps improve air quality in homes and
enhances energy savings.
Sensi thermostats also provide seamless comfort and convenient
control to homes and families using mobile device apps and smart
home platforms such as Amazon Alexa, the Google Assistant, Apple
HomeKit™ and Wink. Users can receive up-to-date usage reports via
email to track their HVAC energy consumption – a new feature that
helps users design their ideal home comfort experience.
The Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat – named the “Best Smart Thermostat” by USA Today’s Reviewed.com two years
in a row – along with the Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat (twice named “Best
Value Smart Thermostat” by Reviewed.com) offer best-in-class
installation for homeowners and contractors through the Sensi
smartphone app. By empowering customers to choose between the
geofencing proximity detection feature or the flexible scheduling
options, Sensi thermostats can achieve energy savings without
compromising comfort.
Sensi smart thermostats are available at retail stores, online
marketplaces, through HVAC contractors and at
Sensi.Emerson.com.

*Energy savings calculated by comparing operation time for a
nationwide sample of Sensi users with temperature adjustments
averaging 4 degrees vs. users with no adjustments. Savings vary
based on equipment type/condition, insulation, climate and
temperature adjustment size/frequency.
