Cypress Envirosystems, a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor
Corp. (Nasdaq:CY), announced today that Commissioner John A. Bohn
of the California Public Utilities Commission, host of the 2010
Western Conference of Public Service Commissioners, has invited
Cypress Envirosystems to present its technology to the utility
regulators and utility companies in 13 western states.
Cypress Envirosystems was nominated by San Diego Gas and
Electric Company, and chosen by Commissioner Bohn to be one of the
select few companies to participate in the conference this year.
"The Green Tech Forum features 18 companies showcasing their
innovative and cutting-edge, clean, green technologies," said
Commissioner Bohn.
The audience for the conference includes the commissioners,
governmental officials and utilities from 13 western states
(Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming) and
members of relevant federal agencies, such as the Department of
Energy, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, National Telecommunications and Information
Administration and Rural Utilities Service. The event is held June
13-16, 2010, in Ojai, CA.
“We sincerely thank San Diego Gas and Electric for nominating us
for this important event, and we are honored to be selected by
Commissioner Bohn,” said Harry Sim, CEO of Cypress Envirosystems.
“Improving energy efficiency and reducing peak load is a key focus
of Smart Grid initiatives for many states and utilities. Cypress
Envirosystems helps to achieve these objectives by providing unique
cost-effective technologies to ‘make dumb buildings smart’, so they
can talk with the Smart Grid.”
Cypress Envirosystems’ patent pending Wireless Pneumatic
Thermostat 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. 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.
