27 The Whole House Monitoring Solution 2 nd Generation Whole House Monitoring Solution Whole House Assessment The PowerWise Whole House Dashboard Fully integrated and accessible within the emonitor dashboard Completely modular & upgradeable Designed as an complete easy to install plug & play solution Several solution (and custom) packages available for various budgets & requirements starting at $1,995 Official release at the Annual North American Passive House Conference September 27 th. Data monitoring available now!

28 Passive House Monitoring Solution Sensors connected to the emonitor Gateway

29 The Whole House Monitoring Solution Designed to Answer questions like: How much energy is each circuit using? How much energy is required to heat and cool the house? How uniform is the temperature throughout the house? How much energy is saved through the HRV system and what is the recovery efficiency of the HRV? How much energy does the ventilation system require to run? How much energy does the hot water system require? What percent is provided by solar? How is the air quality of the house throughout the year (indicated by CO2/VOC ppm)? What is the relative humidity level in the home? How much cooling/dehumidification and heating does the soil heat exchange system provide, net of the energy needed to run it?
