6. Product-Market Fit
Our disaggregation algorithms enable non-intrusive data acquisition and deliver timely &
scalable results to maximize clients energy efficiency
EQuota Advantage Market Standard
Minimal Hardware
1 Smart meter
No need to retrofit equipment
Substantial Hardware Investment
Most require hardware retrofit
(up to 100 sub-meter sensors)
Savings often depend on equipment upgrade
Fast Ramp-up
1 week installation + testing per building
Minimal demand on building engineering staff
Long Installation Period
3-6 months installation & testing
High demand on building engineering staff
Quick Result
Actionable operational recommendations start from
Week 2
Savings visible after only 1 month
Delayed Payback
Recommendations only available after installation
& testing is complete
Savings visible after 6-12 months
7. Result from Pilot Project
In the pilot with a high-end hotel, EQuota delivered 8% energy saving without any retrofit,
which is equivalent to 75.12 kg CO2 per room

| Major Findings
Major Problems Identified Recommendations
Technical: Mismatched
operational frequency
between compressor &
pump
- Modify real-time operations for compressor and cooling
pumps: up to 15% load reduction for base load;
- Allocate partially some of peak-time consumption to base
time
Non-technical energy loss - Connect front-desk check-in data into internal network;
- Establish annual agreement for current building audit
system
- Adopt real-time maintenance team dispatch & tracking
1. Kwh Reduction/month: 58,000 kWh (Sept 2015 vs Sept 2014) *
2. CO2 Reduction/room: 75,12 Kg CO2 (Sept 2015 vs Sept 2014) **
3. Electricity Bill Reduction/month: ¥82,000 (Sept 2015 vs Sept 2014)
4. Total annualized energy saving potential: 8% +
*Electricity bill % reduction higher than kWh reduction due to change in peak/off peak mix of electricity usage. No change in unit price of electricity
** 1Kwh of electricity = 0.522 kg CO2, total 386 rooms
8. At EQuota, we are building the next-generation of energy data services that delivers energy optimization,
cost saving and business intelligence for heavy industry, commercial buildings, and distributed utilities
specifically tailored for the Chinese market.
