LightingGlobal Warming Starts at HomeLights emit CO2, which is the main greenhouse gas involved in Global Warming. By monitoring, scheduling, and controlling when lights are on, Cortexa can help decrease energy costs by optimizing light usage to reduce your home’s use of electricity, as well as decreasing your impact on the environment through lower production of CO2. Cortexa can be setup for many different energy management settings. With Cortexa lighting management, you can assure your home is not wasting electricity from excessive lighting and still create beautiful interior lighting effects. |  |
TemperatureLive a Sustainable LifestyleBy managing and controlling your heating and air conditioning, Cortexa can decrease a home’s electrical consumption by scheduling and controlling the temperature in your home. Merely raising the thermostat 2 degrees during the summer months can save 15% on your energy bill and lowering the temperature 2 degrees in the winter can save 6% or more. Cortexa can schedule and control temperature changes to ensure you have a comfortable environment while you are home as well as reduce the energy consumed while you are away with reasonable setting changes – these changes can be setup to reflect different dates, times, and even seasons. Cortexa also enables you to easily change the schedule or temperature whether you are at home or remotely if you are away using the Internet or your iPhone. In each case your home’s impact on the environment is reduced. |  |

ShadesShady SavingsMotorized shades and awnings are great for reducing glare and blocking out or letting in sunlight’s Ultra Violet (UV) rays, which makes it easier to cool or heat your home. The Cortexa can help reduce your impact on the environment by scheduling your motorized window shades and awnings to individually or collectively raise or lower depending on the weather, time of day, season, and / or the indoor or outdoor temperature. |  |

IrrigationSmart Water ConservationWater conservation is a global issue. Cortexa can help make sure you aren’t wasting water with excessive watering or watering at the wrong time. One example of Smart Irrigation is that Cortexa can control your sprinklers to activate or deactivate based on the time of day, current, forecasted weather conditions or vegetation type. For example, if the temperature is below 40°, the wind exceeds 10 MPH and / or it has recently rained more than .5 inches, it is probably best not to water that day at all or maybe just for selected zones using bubblers for specific vegetation. As with all events, changing the settings can be quickly and simply done at home or away using the Internet or your iPhone. Another Smart Irrigation function of the Cortexa is to monitor flow sensors and control water shut off valves throughout your sprinkler system. If excessive water flow is detected or a zone fails to shut off, Cortexa can be set to “sense” it and automatically shut off the zone as well as email you and / or your service provider of the problem. |  |
