ThinkEco, Friedrich Partner For AC Energy Efficiency
Twice, January 27, 2014ThinkEco today announced a partnership with appliance supplier Friedrich to provide energy demand response (DR) monitoring of Friedrich’s Kuhl Wi-Fi-enabled room air conditioners.
Beginning this summer, utility companies will be able to use ThinkEco’s platform and turnkey demand response services to offer incentives and rebates for users based on energy-efficient use of their room air units. Kuhl owners can opt into available programs via a FriedrichLink Wi-Fi kit. Kuhl air conditioners allow consumers to remotely turn AC units on and off, set fan mode and create schedules, all via a smartphone, tablet or computer.
