Cypress Envirosystems, a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor
Corp. (Nasdaq:CY), today announced its membership in the U.S.
Regenerative Network, a consortium of leading green building
product manufacturers and service providers. Cypress Envirosystems
was invited to join the U.S. Regenerative Network by its CEO David
Gottfried, who is also the founder of the U.S. Green Building
Council (USGBC). Together, the Network members offer a
comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge sustainable solutions for
building and retrofitting new and existing buildings—Cypress
Envirosystems’ solutions help complete the portfolio for
retrofitting existing buildings.
U.S. Regenerative Network member companies are dedicated to
sustainable development and deployment of innovative green
solutions for the commercial building market. “Our objective is to
identify and foster leading companies that are bringing the most
innovative sustainable solutions to market,” said Gottfried.
“Cypress Envirosystems was invited to join the Network because they
make retrofitting HVAC controls affordable. They are an example of
how innovative companies can radically transform established
markets and make it financially compelling for the mass market to
adopt green technologies.”
“We are excited to work with David Gottfried and the 25 other
companies in the U.S. Regenerative Network,” said Harry Sim, CEO of
Cypress Envirosystems. “His idea of bringing together a full
portfolio of the best green building solutions will set the
standard and stimulate the adoption of new sustainable solutions in
the building market.”
Cypress Envirosystems brings to the U.S. Regenerative Network
the Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat (WPT), the Wireless Steam Trap
Monitor (WSTM) and other solutions used in existing facilities to
reduce HVAC and steam energy use.
The U.S. Regenerative Network brings members that offer
sustainable solutions together with affiliates that are seeking the
best options in the market for greening facilities. Members include
Autodesk, Armstrong, Carrier, Scientific Conservation, Sloan,
SunPower, and other innovative firms. Affiliates include AECOM,
Hines, Google, Walmart, and other progressive designer,
construction and real estate portfolio organizations. In addition
to facilitating the introduction of advanced technologies to
specifiers and buyers, the Network counsels members on measuring
and continuously improving their companies to drive market change
towards sustainability. “As we continue to grow, the knowledge we
gain from the Network will help us to keep developing innovative
solutions and ensure that we become a leading company in terms of
environmental impact,” said David Roberts, Director of Marketing
for Cypress Envirosystems.
The Network will be on display at this week’s Greenbuild
conference in Chicago. Member companies will be recognizable by the
presence of the U.S. Regenerative Network logo in their booths and
their inclusion in the Network passport that will be distributed at
the show. David Gottfried will be signing his new memoir, Greening
My Life, in members’ booths as well. Cypress Envirosystems will be
in booth 2691. They will hold a press conference in room 473 on
Tuesday, November 16 at 11am. Also at Greenbuild, on Thursday,
November 18, Harry Sim will be speaking on a cleantech panel with
David Gottfried at 12:30 p.m. and presenting Teaching Existing
Buildings New Tricks at 4 p.m.
About the Cypress Envirosystems Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat
(WPT)
Cypress Envirosystems’ 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. The WPT was first introduced in 2008, and is now
used in over 150 sites across North America including Fortune 500
office buildings, hospitals, universities, K-12 schools, and
government buildings. Kaiser Permanente, Santa Clara County
Government, Western Michigan University, and the LA Chamber of
Commerce are among the many customers.
