STRATIS Estimator App, STRATIS Sphere, now Live!
PHILADELPHIA, PA — August 29, 2014 — STRATIS, LLC — creator of the award-winning STRATIS wireless energy and access management and control platform, announced its release of the STRATIS Sphere Estimator, an iOS App designed to simplify exploring and executing a rapid return-on-investment energy management and control system, by providing real-time, low to no contact estimates, on buildings in their portfolio, either one at a time, or portfolio-wide.
“STRATIS has participated in three million square feet of implementations of its system, and by far the most painful part of the process is getting all of the decision makers and stakeholders in the room and on the same page as all of the experts involved in a system installation. Few who participate in the painstaking process are eager to do it again. The STRATIS Sphere App eliminates those pain points and fast forwards the process to get you immediate information -in the comfort of your office, with your iPad, without pressure or a multitude of divergent expert opinions,” said Felicite Moorman, CEO of STRATIS. “And with STRATIS at one-fifth the cost of comparable systems in the market place, we’ve found that eliminating this initial obstacle is often all a Portfolio Manager needs to garner serious internal momentum for energy efficiency initiatives.”
Using basic building or portfolio information readily available to building managers, the STRATIS Sphere Estimator App uses assumptions based on years of prior installations to produce a baseline price for all of the hardware, software, and commissioning costs for the project. Each question has detailed explanations for each answer, in plain language, eliminating the need for onsite experts prior to understanding costs and timelines for return on investment. Multiple options are easy to estimate, swiping back and forth for major or minor iterations to projects with App-oriented ease and immediate cost-benefit analysis capabilities. All estimates are then available to email to pertinent parties, and Company contact information is available throughout to answer questions, should they arise. The STRATIS Sphere Estimator App also serves as a competitive comparative analysis tool for Portfolio Managers already in receipt of estimates.
All STRATIS devices come pre-commissioned in project packs, labeled per device and unit. Specialized installation is rarely required, relying instead on in-house maintenance and often eliminating the need for outside contractors. Installation is not, therefore, included in the estimate.
The STRATIS Sphere App is available for free in the iTunes App Store. The next version will include cost and carbon savings estimates. Current full version includes remote management of all devices in the energy and access management and control ecosystem.
