Thermostat Is Integrated into Cloud Platform

ThinkEco and Carrier have integrated the Carrier ComfortChoice Touch thermostat with ThinkEco’s modlet cloud platform.

ThinkEco, a developer of cloud-based energy-efficiency and demand-response solutions, and Carrier, a provider of high-technology heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions, have partnered to integrate the Carrier ComfortChoice Touch thermostat with ThinkEco’s modlet cloud platform. This integration now enables ThinkEco’s utility customers to enroll central and window air conditioners into the same energy-efficiency or demand-response program via ThinkEco’s modlet cloud platform.

The ThinkEco platform operates without the need for smart meters to give utilities access to real-time load data for window air conditioners and targeted, real-time demand-response control capabilities for all air-conditioning loads. ThinkEco’s demand-response offering has received multiple awards during the past two years for its customer attractiveness, pricing competitiveness and overall program design.

For end users, the ComfortChoice Touch thermostat features an easy-to-use color touch screen with precise temperature control. Its integration with the ThinkEco modlet platform gives customers easy access to their central air-conditioning systems from any web browser or iOS or Android device, allowing them to preset or adjust temperature settings as necessary.
