Managing environmental control system efficiency

摘要

A method, system or computer usable program product for providing alerts of inefficiency of an environmental conditioning system including, responsive to a cycle initiation by the environmental conditioning system, measuring a difference between an intake temperature and an outlet temperature after a predetermined period of time, and responsive to the difference being below a minimum level, generating an alert.

1. A method for providing alerts of inefficiency of an environmental conditioning system comprising:
responsive to a cycle initiation by the environmental conditioning system, measuring a first difference between an intake temperature and an outlet temperature after a predetermined period of time and measuring an outlet temperature difference between multiple outlet locations of the environmental conditioning system; and determining whether the first difference is below a primary minimum level; determining whether the first difference is above the primary minimum level and below a secondary minimum level and exhibits a negative trend according to historical information of the environmental conditioning system; responsive to a positive determination, generating a user alert; and responsive to determining whether the outlet temperature difference is above a threshold, generating an alert.
