The rule they were rewriting

Traditional thermostats were blunt tools that ignored occupancy and wasted energy. They measured temperature in a single room and treated every space the same. Your HVAC ran whether you were home or not, heating empty rooms and driving up energy costs.

The rule we rewrote together

We helped ecobee shift the thermostat from passive utility to intelligent ally, conserving energy without sacrificing comfort. We rewrote home comfort to respond to real life, heating and cooling the rooms you use only when you use them.
