Business Wire
Cypress Envirosystems, a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor
Corp. (Nasdaq:CY), was recognized for excellence in product design
in the 6th annual Dealer Design Awards Program sponsored by The Air
Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration News magazine. An
independent panel of 30 contractors acted as judges in the contest
that had 114 entries from different industry brands. The company’s
Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat (WPT) was the Gold Award Winner in
the Commercial Controls category. The ACHR News is the leading
trade magazine in the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and
refrigeration industries.
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.
