There are two potential pricing models. First, this could be sold as a normal consumer good that requires the user to install and setup Microclimate Control (MCC). I think the price of the MCC main controller, 5 vents, and micro controllers would be around a thousand dollars. The second pricing model is to have a rev share setup. For sharing revenue, or more accurately cost savings, all that is required is the previous year’s energy bill. Any money that MCC saves would be split between MCC and the customer. If the customer lives in an area that gets hourly summaries of energy usage, it could be possible to calibrate the system to be even more accurate than just looking at previous costs. I expect that MCC could save the average household $25 - $200 per month (some houses in the north-east have $400 heating bills per month in the winter).
