Cypress EnvirosystemsSMARTPneumatics: Automated fault detection for pneumatic HVAC terminal units

OCTOBER 4TH | 1 PM ET

REGISTER TODAY »

Legacy pneumatic thermostats waste energy, negatively impact occupant comfort, and are difficult to maintain since they provide no visibility or remote control of HVAC zones. They are still in 70% of buildings because traditional rip-and-replace DDC retrofits are extremely expensive, invasive, and disruptive to occupants. The Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat (WPT) reduces the cost of modernizing these HVAC controls by 60-80%, is non-invasive, and can be installed in minutes so occupants are not disrupted. In addition to enabling advanced DDC control strategies, the WPT provides data so building operators can gain visibility into pneumatic zones and utilize automated fault diagnostics for the first time.

Join Harry Sim, the inventor of the WPT, as he introduces his latest innovation-SMARTPneumatics, the first automated fault detection system for pneumatic HVAC terminal units. He will discuss how New York City Schools was able to save 20% of their energy use and improve comfort with SMARTPneumatics by identifying terminal unit faults that had previously gone undetected.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how New York City Schools saved 20% of their energy use and improved comfort by using SMARTPneumatics.
  • Discuss how visibility into pneumatic zones makes maintenance of these legacy systems simple and easy.
  • Understand how SMARTPneumatics use data from the WPT system to provide automated fault diagnostics to identify issues that would have previously gone undetected and lead to hot/cold calls and wasted energy
