Telkonet’s EcoSmart System will be deployed by the Crowne Plaza Times Square throught PAC Consultants property to optimize guest comfort while reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
Telkonet will provide a fully-networked EcoSmart energy management system, replacing the hotel’s existing thermostats with ZigBee-enabled EcoInsight thermostats to develop a facility-wide wireless network capable of remotely monitoring and controlling the HVAC system in each guest room.
The entire network will be protected by Telkonet’s EcoCare service to ensure optimal operation and provide proactive maintenance services.
The energy management system is expected to reduce overall electricity and steam consumption by nearly 25% in unoccupied rooms.
The company said the reduction of equipment run-times will also extend the useful life of the mechanical systems and cut associated maintenance costs.
Telkonet collaborated with PAC Consultants to take advantage of all energy efficiency incentives available through the Con Edison C&I Energy Efficiency Program, with the objective of optimizing the financial viability of the project.
