Innovative Design
The SuperStat is a one-piece leading digital thermostat and load management communications console. It provides the consumer with the capability to reduce kWh usage by user-defined time and temperature setbacks and/or price signal responses. Flexible control strategies allow the utility to deploy the thermostat initially using traditional load control strategies and migrate to Price-Responsive programs at a later time.

Adaptive Algorithm
The SuperStat monitors HVAC operation and control cycles using percentage-based commands. This helps to eliminate “freeriders” and enables greater control of oversized systems and more equitable load reduction across customers.

ComforTemp
The SuperStat monitors the room temperature rise during a cycling control event and reduces the cycling percentage once the room temperature reaches the setback value. This helps to reduce customer discomfort during long control periods or in poorly insulated homes.

Flexible Control Strategies
The SuperStat can be configured for a variety of control strategies – cycling, cycling with Adaptive Algorithm, temperature setback, temperature setpoint, Price-Response Operation based on tier, or Price-Response Operation based on price level.
