Press Release Summary: Meet Green Edge Systems Inc., at the Emerging Energy Technology Summit, University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) February 8-9, 2008 to learn about its dynamic energy management dashboard software and the GreenGuard sensor platforms.
Press Release Body: Woodland Hills, CA , February 4, 2008-- Green Edge Systems, Inc., a cutting edge provider of real time energy savings, predictive maintenance and temperature monitoring solutions for campuses, schools, hospitals, presents its GreenGuard state-of-the-art hardware products, software and communication platforms. Meet Green Edge Systems, Inc. at the Emerging Energy technology Summit, Corwin Pavilion, University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), Santa Barbara, CA, on February 8-9 2008.
GreenGuard continuously monitors the savings and the actual energy and maintenance bills and helps deliver increased ROI, boosting savings with a continuous improvement approach.
The hardware products are comprised of a variety of powerline, wireless, wired and stand-alone low cost introductory products, making it affordable to any size campus. Two way communications allow automated control of devices in response to price, peak load shaving or demand reduction signals.
The software platform utilizes advanced Business Intelligence (BI) tools that allow dynamic energy management, effective demand response, peak load shaving management, energy savings, predictive maintenance and temperature monitoring in one integrated system.
This platform allows implementation of demand response, peak shaving, Carbon-Trade and other future energy efficiency, energy savings and greenhouse gas incentive-based programs.
Initial energy and maintenance savings of over 20 percent, achieved by the basic system, allows its introduction into campuses, with savings that are much higher than the initial investment in its first year. The savings in following years remain with the customers. The communication and management platform allows the addition of any current and future energy saving systems as an additional module.
The GreenGuard sensor platform includes a family of state-of-the-art wireless sensors with the following features:
. Wireless Data logging . Internal Relative Humidity/Temp sensors . 4 recording inputs: 4-20mA, 0-1V, Pulse counter, PT100 2-wires, NTC, Thermocouple J, K and T, door sensors . Dry contact in each wireless sensor
Other sensors in the GreenGuard family are:
. A wired logging device - ideal for smaller installations . A low cost USB temperature recording device that allows 24/7 temperature monitoring at a cost per location with two measuring points of under $200 per location . Multiple input temperature recorder and refrigeration controller . Multiple input temperature recorder, refrigeration, air conditioning and lighting controller
In multi location installations such as in school districts, a mixture of the above sensors can be installed, all managed through advanced dashboard application software.
To better understand the uniqueness of Green Edge Systems offerings, ask any provider of energy, maintenance and temperature monitoring solutions if they can provide the following GreenGuard capabilities:
. Monitoring and controlling of energy usage and saving, resulting in up to 20% energy savings . Immediate alerts when the refrigeration system is not working or malfunctioning. . Prediction of compressor or other system failures with alerts to avoid critical damage, similar to the red warning light in your car before a critical engine failure. We provide the same type of alerts when compressors are about to fail, with no additional equipment. Would you buy a car without this feature? Can you afford buying a monitoring system for your refrigeration system without this feature? . Immediate power outage alert with no additional equipment. . Highly affordable - starting at under $200 per location, provides 24/7 temperature recording, reporting and alerts. . Wireless sensors that fully implement the Zigbee Mesh Networking Protocol -superior to Zigbee in a point-to-point mode which may fail with future network saturation. . Bi-directional communication between the system and the sensors, allowing for seamless setting of sensors to new parameters such as immediate response on momentary door openings nights and weekends, different parameters of temperature settings for night and weekends, use of lower priced energy at night and more. . Over-the-network firmware updates, eliminating the need for on-site technician. . Calibration of the sensors over the network. . Temperature readout on each sensor, gateway and repeater. . Temperature and door opening samplings, customer-configurable, even once per minute or less, allowing for better control of food quality, alerts and more. . Local alerts even when the network is down. . Power backup on each sensor - sensors continue to collect data, even if battery fails or if power is out. . Low cost repeaters to extend range of coverage. . Multiple input sensors - more then 4 inputs per sensor. . Every sensor has its own Dry Contact, allowing connectivity to a building/HVAC/energy management system. Detailed alerts from each sensors are provided even if the network in down. . Data is never lost in a power outage and there is no need for uninterruptible power supply (UPS). . Prevention of unnecessary defrost cycles. . Monitoring food temperatures in addition to air temperatures.
