Having sold several of the Honeywell E3 point systems in the past I find this toxic/combustible gas monitor is one of the most versatile systems in the industry.
Sarah Connor here, and it’s a Chronicles entry that I like to call “WOW on Wednesday,” featuring a new product or a new perspective. During last week’s Event, Dave Molin, VP General Manager of Honeywell Building Controls Systems, revealed current trends and future outlooks in energy. Seeing that I am Sarah Connor, sent to save the world from the predicted invasion of Energy Inefficient Machines, I listened attentively.
U.S. Energy consumption can be divided into three categories; 32% industrial, 28% transportation, 40% buildings. Yes! The largest category of energy consumption is spent on buildings. And what part of that consumption can we control? HVAC and lighting! In the past, spikes in energy pricing due to natural disasters and supply limitations have caused ripples in our economy. Generally, these interruptions are considered “episodes” from which we recover without lasting impact. But in the future, this will be completely different. Real-time pricing and demand-response implementation is here to stay. There is new awareness in energy conservation. Legislative mandates and elevated social awareness are at an all-time high. At Honeywell, 60% of their products are related to energy efficiency and conservation, so the tools are available. Your goal, as you partner with Sarah Connor to save the planet, is to understand those tools, and to effectively communicate solutions to those energy-hungry facilities managers. Read More
It’s getting cold outside, so we want to be sure to stay warm when we’re inside. With a wide range of infrared radiant heating options, Space-Ray makes it easy and affordable to heat up unheated indoor spaces like warehouses, plant spaces or garages. Read More
In addition to improving control strategies and adding energy efficient product solutions it is also important to improve a Buildings Envelope. Thanks to Honeywell’s Steve Tratt and Slide Share for this informative presentation. Read More
Created by Tony Fadell, who designed the hardware for the Apple IPOD, the Nest energy saving thermostat ( yes I realize that it is technically not a programmable thermostat ) could completely change the residential thermostat market forever.
As you can see in this video, the NEST is absolutely gorgeous! With it’s unique energy saving artificial intelligence a home owner does not even have to program the thermostat to save energy. Read More
If you are a government or commercial building you may be required to conform to the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standard.
Among other things, this standard requires that 50% of the plug loads ( electrical receptacles) be controlled.
Never fear! Wattstopper has two great products that reduce energy and lighting loads all the way down to the plug level. In this video, shot at Lightfare 2011, Jennifer Holland shows us the Wattstopper Read More
The technology behind variable frequency drives (VFDs) has been around for over forty five years and involved in HVAC for over twenty five years. However, many people remain in the dark as to how much energy and money VFDs save. The truth is VFDs are one of the best ways to make a building greener and save energy. Half the electricity used in a building is a direct result of pumping air and water through the buildings HVAC systems. Read More
Stromquist & Company handles several different lighting products. WattStopper provides lighting solutions that range from the PW-100 passive infrared wall switch occupancy sensor to full blown lighting control systems that can communicate with a building automation system through a JACE. In this video see how easy it is Read More
Brian, one of the inside control pros at Stromquist & Company, told me that the Honeywell RedLink product offering is one of the coolest products he has seen in a long time. Given that Brian is not easily impressed, I did some additional research and found this video…. Read More
It is that time of year again. As it begins to get cooler companies like Testo offer really hot deals on their combustion analyzers. One of the easiest ways to reduce your heating bill is to make sure your boilers are tuned correctly. As you can see in this video you can’t go wrong with the Testo 330 combustion Read More
