Rheem, Powerhouse Dynamics
Partner for Online HVAC Management.
SiteSage
cloud-based integration with Rheem HVAC equipment offers
unprecedented remote visibility and management through the IoT.
Powerhouse Dynamics, creator of the award-winning SiteSage®
enterprise asset and energy management system, and Rheem®, producer
of water heaters, boilers, and HVAC equipment today announced a new
partnership. The two companies have teamed to install SiteSage
sensors on Rheem’s innovative and award-winning H2AC TM Rooftop
Unit, the first and only integrated air and water system designed
specifically for full-service restaurants and other commercial
applications with high hot water demand.
By integrating their rooftop units with SiteSage, Rheem is able to
provide their customers with enterprise-wide remote control and
access to advanced diagnostic data, which to date has only been
retrievable at the equipment site. The cloud-based SiteSage software
delivers visibility into system performance on all Rheem units
installed across all of a customer’s locations. A complete SiteSage
system can control and analyze all key facility equipment in real
time to improve operational efficiency.
Rheem H2AC units are high-performance hybrid heating,
air-conditioning and water heating systems that deliver a
comfortable store environment and substantially reduced hot water
costs at very high efficiency. The ClearControl™ running Rheem
rooftop unit collects a broad range of data on the system’s
operation, which can be used to ensure the units are operating at
peak performance and can help technicians diagnose any issues.”

Through SiteSage,
facilities personnel can now receive alerts generated by the
Rheem units, notifying them of developing issues. Before they
roll a truck to the location, HVAC technicians can use SiteSage
to access detailed operating information, diagnosing a problem
remotely and ensuring that they arrive onsite with the correct
parts.
Bobby Seals, Senior Commercial Manager for Rheem, says, “Before
SiteSage integration, the Clear Control data was stranded on the
rooftop unit. With SiteSage integration, the data can be
accessed remotely to help ensure all Rheem units are operating
at peak performance. Repair personnel can even resolve issues
remotely, saving our customers money. SiteSage is a game-changer
for our customers and for us.”
“Rheem is an innovator in offering highly efficient HVAC
technology to their customers, reducing operating costs while
keeping guests and employees comfortable. We are proud to
partner with Rheem to bring that innovation to the next level,
making actionable information available to restaurants, hotels,
and other businesses, and their service providers, on demand in
real time”, said Jay Fiske, Vice President of Business
Development for Powerhouse Dynamics.
