Eco-BOOSTTM – THE EFFICIENT WAY TO RUN HVAC EQUIPMENT

Eco-BOOSTTM is a simple to use and patented1 control system for the efficient operation of the heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. The system offers an appropriate measure of
human comfort in any conditioned space while minimizing energy costs. The control system is tested,
proven, and adaptable for use in any Smart Thermostats.

Eco-BOOSTTM is intuitive and simple to use:


• A user-friendly (UI/UX) control interface.
• Select a comfort level once, and no further adjustments are required for the conditioned space.
• Option to select a proper balance between a desired comfort and energy savings level.
• It can be configured from the simplest easy to use thermostat visual user-interface on the
market (utilizing a simple comfort/energy economy slider) to the most sophisticated user-
interface currently found in many smart thermostats.

Eco-BOOSTTM is efficient as it offers:


• An optimized conditioned space comfort attainable in either heating or cooling situations.
• As compared to existing control algorithm in smart thermostats, Eco-BOOST will yield significant
cost savings at comparable comfort level.
• Proper and correct automatic switchover between heating and cooling modes.

Eco-BOOSTTM is adaptable:
• Eco-BOOST can be incorporated into any brands of Smart Thermostats as a retrofit or new
installation.

Beneficial environmental impact:


Eco-BOOST will have a significant beneficial environmental impact especially when the HVAC system is
set to operate at the edge of comfort level to maximize energy savings.

APPLICATIONS
• All central, split and window HVAC equipment that do not use humidifiers or dehumidifiers
(over 95% of HVACs worldwide).
• Homes and public places such as hotel rooms, cinemas, convention centers and office buildings.

Eco-BOOSTTM for HVACs -2- November 2022
© 2022 FrontierTech International Inc., Pasadena, CA, United States.
U.S. Patents No. 11,029,056 & 11,428,434; Canadian Patent No. 3,115,446; Chinese Patent No. ZL201880079797.5; Korean
Patent No. 10-2369914; and additional patents pending.

HOW DOES IT WORK?


• Eco-BOOSTTM uses a patented optimized automatic switchover algorithm between the HVAC
cooling and heating modes based on the conditioned (indoor) space apparent temperature,
which is a measure of human comfort, to optimize comfort levels while minimizing energy use.
• This automatic switchover is based on the apparent temperature, a measure of human comfort
which is dependent on a combination of air temperature and relative humidity of the
conditioned space. Control algorithms employed in existing thermostats are based solely on the
air temperature.
• For more technical information, refer to our patents and additional literature.

Eco-BOOSTTM ADVANTAGES
1. Maximize energy savings.
2. Able to maintain selected comfort level without the need for the user to make manual
adjustments of thermostat temperature settings.
3. Able to switch over between cooling and heating modes automatically and correctly while
maintaining prescribed comfort levels.
4. Provide a simple user link to the importance of space comfort.

Eco-BOOSTTM OPERATION
Smart thermostats in the market today do not offer the features outlined above. Yes, those thermostats
have sleek designs and offer learning functions but are not designed to maximize energy conservation or
user comfort. In contrast, by incorporating Eco-BOOSTTM into any of the smart thermostats in the
market today or to introduce a new thermostat with this control feature would represent a quantum
leap in satisfying the consumers’ desire for maximum comfort at minimum energy costs.

As stated earlier, none of the smart thermostats in the market today has simplified the human comfort
equation to the level that the user can easily and correctly set a desired comfort level in a conditioned
space just once and not having to adjust it again. The current smart thermostats also fail at providing a
correct automatic switchover mechanism between the heating and cooling modes and are not simple to
operate2. Eco-BOOSTTM is a breakthrough, in that (1) it is simple to operate, (2) it maintains the desired
comfort level in heating, cooling, and non-operation modes and (3) maximize HVAC energy savings.

Eco-BOOSTTM, is designed to be incorporated either into a new thermostat design with all the bells and
whistles of Smart Thermostats or can be downloaded into smart thermostats already in homes. As a
download, the software will maintain the same smart thermostat’s initial interface and options but will
over-ride the existing HVAC control operation with the control algorithm of Eco-BOOST. In short, it
offers the best of both worlds.

Many studies have shown that users are unable to properly set comfort levels resulting in excess energy losses.
