Cypress Envirosystems' Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat Wins Gold in ACHR News 2010 Dealer Design Awards

The patent-pending WPT solution retrofits existing pneumatic thermostats to deliver direct digital control (DDC) functionality in minutes. Compared with the cost to implement conventional DDC retrofit, the WPT costs 80% less, pays back in 18 months or shorter, and can be installed in under 20 minutes with minimal disruption of occupants. It enables remote temperature sensing and control of setpoints, programmable zone control and night setback, automatic self-calibration, BACnet integration with existing automation systems, and communication with utility Demand Response programs. Sensor data gathered by the WPT is used for retro and ongoing commissioning to save energy and reduce maintenance costs.

ACHR News Publisher John Conrad stated, “These awards give us a unique opportunity to recognize the outstanding research and development efforts that go into many of the products serving the HVACR industry and the awards issue gives our readers an opportunity to read about innovative installation and service solutions.

“We are pleased to have the WPT bring home the gold from the Dealer Design Awards,” said Harry Sim, CEO of Cypress Envirosystems. “Customers are experiencing the fast payback, smart control and data communication, and savings in energy usage and maintenance costs that the WPT delivers.”

First introduced in 2008, the WPT is now used in over 100 sites across North America including Fortune 500 office buildings, hospitals, universities, K-12 schools and government buildings.

Winning entries in the Dealer Design Awards were featured in the July 12, 2010 issue of The ACHR News, which is distributed nationally to over 33,000 HVACR contractors, wholesalers, and other industry professionals.
