EcoDash
Turning CHPWH data into actionable insights for performance, reliability, and market transformation
EcoDash, an online data viewer created by Ecotope, provides comprehensive insights into system performance for commercial heat pump water heaters (CHPWH). Designed to support the adoption of this emerging technology, the platform enables detailed monitoring to ensure system reliability and actualized savings.
CHPWHs are the solution for energy efficient water heating, but require robust monitoring to facilitate their integration into mainstream use. EcoDash helps researchers, building owners, and utilities to maintain system performance, diagnose issues, and advance the adoption of sustainable water heating technologies.
Key Features:
- Raw Data Timeseries: Visualize or download timeseries data for any duration over the
monitoring period - Summary Plots: Visualize key performance metrics through clear, interactive plots that highlight system behavior and trends
- Event Logs: Track maintenance, equipment malfunctions, and other system anomalies
- Automatic Flags: Track hot water outages
Field demonstrations of new and emerging technologies are essential for bringing optimized products to market. EcoDash enables continuous performance monitoring, providing timely data insights that allow for system fine-tuning, remote troubleshooting, and performance optimization. These findings contribute to industry-wide design guidance and best practices.
As CHPWHs become more widespread, ensuring reliable performance is critical. EcoDash provides ongoing tracking, verifying that systems continue to operate efficiently over time. This validation gives building owners and utility programs confidence in their investments and incentive programs.
Unexpected failures can turn an efficient system into an expensive electric resistance water heater. EcoDash helps identify maintenance needs before they become costly issues by supporting field technicians—especially those new to CHPWHs—with actionable insights.
Beyond optimizing individual domestic hot water systems, EcoDash supports the transformation of high-efficiency water heating. By aligning with industry standards such as the AWHS M&V Appendix M, EcoDash ensures consistent performance tracking and reporting, helping establish a common language for CHPWH performance and advancing market adoption. With EcoDash, building owners, engineers, and operators gain the data-driven insights needed to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure long-term success.
