Gas Allocation System for Timing
ista introduces the wireless solution for multifamily resident gas energy allocation and billing. G.A.S.T®. Gas Allocation System for Timing™ monitors time with complete accuracy for furnaces and domestic hot water heaters.
Heat output from a forced hot air furnace is provided when the main gas valve is opened, allowing gas flow to the main furnace. The G.A.S.T device monitors this function of the furnace to determine relative use through timing data.
