Pneumatic thermostats waste energy, impact occupant comfort and are difficult to maintain since they do not allow for remote readings, diagnostics, or setpoint control. Yet, because traditional rip-and-replace DDC retrofits are extremely expensive and disruptive, these legacy systems remain in 70 percent of the United States' existing buildings, contributing to increased operational costs and decreased occupant comfort. But a new non-invasive technology, known as the Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat-or WPT-can reduce the cost of modernizing these HVAC controls by up to 80 percent.

Join Harry Sim, the inventor of the WPT, as he discusses how buildings like 311 S. Wacker Street, a Class-A trophy building in Chicago, achieved a 1.8 year payback and improved tenant comfort by modernizing their pneumatic thermostats. He will also highlight the GSA's independent analysis leading them to recommend the WPT in any building with pneumatic thermostats as a best practice.

Learning Objectives:

  • See real-world examples of WPT applications in office buildings, government facilities, hospitals, schools and universities that result in improved comfort, energy use, and maintenance costs.
  • Learn how the WPT achieves 15-25 percent energy savings and a 2 to 3-year payback by enabling advanced DDC control strategies in pneumatic zones.
  • Understand how SMARTPneumatics use WPT data to identify issues that would have previously gone undetected and lead to hot/cold calls and wasted energy.
