Your Path to Better Performance
When your Verdant energy management system is connected, configured, and supported, your property runs smarter. Our data shows a clear performance gap between properties that actively manage their system and those that don’t.
Here’s what high-performing properties consistently do to make the most of the Verdant system:
Maximize Maintenace
Stay consistent with small upkeep to get big results.
Performing HVAC maintenance improves efficiency, extends equipment life, and lowers operational costs—helping you maintain the energy savings Verdant was designed to deliver.
✅ Change filters regularly
✅ Follow a preventative maintenance plan
✅ Use Verdant Plus alerts to stay on track
Minimize VIP Mode
Occupancy detection saves energy by adjusting temperatures when rooms are empty. VIP Mode is a setting that disables occupancy detection and keeps the thermostat at a fixed temperature, which can increase energy use and costs.
✅ Train staff to minimize VIP usage
✅ Encourage compliance with energy-saving settings
✅ Monitor usage and reset thermostats as needed
Analyze Energy Reports
Make data-driven decisions to take control of your savings. With Verdant Plus, our subscription-based reporting platform, you’ll receive reports that help you spot issues early, improve system performance, and maximize energy savings.
✅ Set clear energy targets
✅ Track performance consistently
✅ Act on diagnostic alerts
Customize Comfort Profiles
Find the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency. Tailoring Verdant’s profiles to your property reduces HVAC runtime while maintaining guest satisfaction and optimizing energy use.
✅ Use preset or custom profiles
✅ Adjust based on occupancy
✅ Control zones remotely
Stay in Touch with Verdant Support
Maintain peak performance with expert guidance every step of the way.
Proactively engaging with Verdant support helps you quickly identify and resolve issues before they escalate. This ensures your system operates at maximum efficiency, delivering consistent energy savings and comfort throughout the year.
✅ Reach out proactively for advice and troubleshooting
✅ Leverage Verdant Plus alerts to catch inefficiencies early
✅ Schedule regular check-ins to stay ahead of potential problems
Identifying Why Your Property Isn’t Seeing Full Results
Untrained Staff
Teams unfamiliar with settings, alerts, or best practices can unintentionally reduce energy savings.
NOTE: Make sure to train new team members and remove outdated user accounts to keep your system running efficiently.
Settings Not Tuned
Default or incorrect configurations prevent the system from reaching full potential.
NOTE: Make sure recovery times are accurate and temperature ranges are wide enough to deliver real savings — for example, a setback range of 72–70 won’t make a noticeable difference.
Widespread VIP Mode
Too many rooms in override mode weakens energy-saving performance.
Outdated Profiles
Using outdated or inactive energy profiles reduces system efficiency and savings.
Reactive Maintenance
Maintenance often reacts to issues instead of preventing them. A strategic approach delivers better system performance.
VTM Not In Use
Thermostats not actively connected to Verdant Thermostat Manager miss out on full data insights and performance benefits.
