Incenergy Advanced Energy Management System Gives 20 Percent Energy Cost Savings to Dallas Office Tower

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Incenergy, a Smart Building pioneer that develops an advanced energy management system targeting many of the low-rise buildings in the four million plus light commercial market, successfully scaled its Smart Building EMS solution to a 17-floor office tower in Dallas.


It was critical to show that a feature-rich solution with an intuitive customer interface could scale at an affordable price, said Incenergy CEO Barry McConachie, and in this case is giving a one year payback.


The companys flagship product, Building Portfolio EMS, is an affordable HVAC retrofit solution that upgrades and manages HVAC systems and is particularly suited for low-rise commercial buildings that until now could not afford automated control capabilities.


Incenergys platform architecture brings wireless mesh technology to EMS by leveraging cloud computing with Smart Thermostats to deliver access to over 60 attributes in a clean web interface that also supports mobile devices running iPhone and Android.


Available through subscription services, the Zigbee-based smart building software offers building operators an affordable HVAC retrofit solution with complete command and control.


According to Senior Vice President Bill Moebius of Stream Realty Partners, who manages the Dallas building, Incenergys intuitive and simple scheduling and temperature override functions mean that now our facility managers can log into the portal no matter where they are and have immediate visibility into the entire building, without having to go floor-to-floor to assess and address issues.


During the first four months alone, the 164,000-square-foot building saw its energy usage fall by 262,736 kWh over the previous year, resulting in reduced electricity expense of $ 5,800 per month. These reductions were chiefly attributable to the automation and schedule optimization of temperature set-points, temperature override limits and fault detection alerts.


Along with a 20 percent efficiency gain, Incenergys EMS will enable the building to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,227,705 lbs CO2 in the first year and each succeeding year during the life of the EMS system.

Incenergy EMS remote management helps companies shave hours of labor and travel time, increasing operational efficiency above and beyond the savings realized by lowered energy costs. Its fault detection capability can help extend the life of HVAC equipment and lower capital expense.

Corporate Wellness Programs Without the Cost: New Book by Lt. Col. Bob Weinstein

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) December 1, 2008

Corporate wellness programs can be realistically implemented without the cost. Lt. Col. Weinstein, author, professional speaker and beach boot camp instructor, just released his new book, Change Made Easy - Your Basic Training Orders to Excellent Physical and Mental Health, published by Advantage Books in Orlando, Florida. His book is a guide to values-based healthy living without all the hype and product promotions. It is designed for corporate wellness programs, youth programs, health and fitness professionals and people who have always or never exercised.


"80 % of American executives feel that corporate America has a responsibility to promote wellness according to a study conducted by the American Management Association."


"Less than 20 % of U.S. employers offer lifestyle modification services. 4 % offer smoking cessation programs according to a study conducted by the American Journal of Health Promotion."


Asked about this discrepancy between these studies, Col. Weinstein had this to say, "The health crisis is fueled by a predominant culture of unhealthy living at school, at work, at home and at play. Change the culture and you will solve the health crisis. Corporate wellness programs are paramount to changing the culture."


Asked how his book will contribute to solving the health crisis and lack of corporate wellness programs, Col. Weinstein replied, "With my book, Change Made Easy, I offer an out-of-the-box corporate wellness solution that can be implemented within a week and bring about results as soon as four weeks."


His book is excellent as a wellness handbook for individual employees, departments, managers, junior and senior executives.


An emphasis of health insurance as being the solution to our health care crisis is the very cause of 70 to 80 % of the costs for treatments of illnesses and diseases.


"According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 75% of employers' health care costs and productivity losses are related to employee lifestyle choices. The solution is simple. Change the lifestyle and you will fix the problem." Yes, it can and must be done. The present economic crisis is an opportunity for every one of us to do some soul searching and make some very fundamental changes about how we lead our lives.


Col. Weinstein's book cuts straight to the heart of the matter and offers real, cost effective, solutions that are easy to implement:


How to solve the health crisis.
How to implement a corporate wellness program.
How to manage your weight.
How to organize and implement your own fitness boot camp program.
How to exercise with little or no equipment.
How to establish goals and measure performance.
How to eat.
How to enhance performance and productivity.
How to build strong character.
How to have a meaningful spiritual life.

Over $ 510 billion on medical care was spent on chronic conditions in the year 2000. By 2020, this amount will balloon to over $ 1 trillion, according to The National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. That's about the equivalent of one economic bailout per year.

Col. Weinstein's book, Change Made Easy - Your Basic Training Orders to Excellent Physical and Mental Health, can be ordered as paperback through Advantage Books, Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
