Peter R. Smith, NYSERDA President and CEO, said, “From a fuel oil efficiency and air emissions perspective, these results are very encouraging. The results of this study of the IntelliCon control system can benefit customers, our environment.
NYSERDA Study Validates
Energy Savings & Reduced Pollution
With IntelliCon® Control Products from Intellidyne, LLC
Study documents
energy savings of 13% and reduced pollution by as much as 47%
(April 23, 2007) – A study commissioned by The New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) reports that the IntelliCon® control products manufactured by
Intellidyne, LLC delivers energy savings and reduces pollution on heating and
cooling systems.
NYSERDA, in conjunction with Brookhaven National Laboratories
(BNL), conducted the research at thirteen field-test sites where boiler, air
conditioning and refrigeration system performance could be evaluated with and
without the IntelliCon product. The study provided comprehensive proof that
Intellidyne controls significantly and measurably reduce energy consumption and
air pollution after they are installed. A major portion of this study measured
and documented quantifiable pollution reductions derived from using the IntelliCon equipment. Intellidyne products are safety-listed by the UL in
the United States and Canada as “Energy Management Equipment.”
Findings from the study documented an average heating fuel
savings of 13% and reduced oil-fired boiler pollution by as much as 47%. The
data from the study also emphasized that user comfort is maintained with no
noticeable difference. Data indicated that respondents felt as warm or as cool
in the home or office setting as before, while realizing decreased energy costs
and less pollution. Savings were achieved at a lower cost than other measures
that may or may not net the same results. Test results were measured in two
ways. In the field, boiler, air conditioning and refrigeration applications
were fitted with monitoring equipment and operated with and without IntelliCon technology. In addition, BNL performed laboratory measurements
that studied the impact of the control on natural gas and fuel oil boiler air
pollutant emissions.
Peter R. Smith, NYSERDA President and CEO, said, “From a fuel
oil efficiency and air emissions perspective, these results are very
encouraging. The results of this study of the IntelliCon control system can
benefit customers, our environment and our New York economy.”
According to Jack Hammer, Founder and CEO, “We were elated, but
not surprised, by the findings from this study, which provides clear evidence
that the IntelliCon control products reduce energy consumption and
systems cycles while saving energy dollars and significantly cutting pollution.
The comprehensive report is available on our website and provides details and
tables outlining the testing and the analysis of the results.”
Intellidyne’s patented IntelliCon technology
reduces energy consumption by optimizing system performance through real-time ‘load-demand’
analysis and control. The IntelliCon
controller continuously
determines the optimum burner firing pattern while the unit is in operation.
The burner cycle is modified, resulting in a more efficient use of the heating system,
with subsequent reductions of energy consumption, wear and tear on the
equipment, maintenance requirements, and pollution.
The controls are easily installed by a qualified technician and
never require programming or seasonal adjustment. They are non-invasively and
easily installed on most new or existing systems, without major rewiring, and
will not void OEM manufacturer warranties.
Intellidyne, LLC, is the market-leading developer and
manufacturer of energy savings controls for commercial and residential heating,
air conditioning and refrigeration applications that immediately reduce energy
consumption by at least 10%. Intellidyne, founded in 1996, is privately held
and located in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York. Already installed in thousands
of government, commercial and residential buildings, its patented, proprietary,
microprocessor based product line is measurably reducing energy consumption,
energy costs and pollution throughout the country.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA) was established by law in l975 as a public benefits corporation. In
1998, the New York Energy $martSM program
was created to continue energy efficiency, research and development, and environmental
protection programs during the State’s transition to electric retail
competition.
The program offers a wide range of consumer education and
assistance programs to bring energy efficiency to homes, businesses, and
industry. NYSERDA provides energy-related technical and financial packaging
assistance to businesses and institutions to promote energy efficiency and
economic development, as well as providing energy research and development
programs that promote safe and economical energy production efficiency
technologies in New York State.
NYSERDA also analyzes the effect of New York’s energy,
regulatory and environmental policies on the State’s business, institutional,
and residential energy consumers. Visit www.nyserda.org
Established in 1947 on Long Island, Upton, New York, Brookhaven
National Laboratories is a multi-program national laboratory operated by
Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Six
Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made at the Lab. Brookhaven
National Laboratory’s role for the DOE is to produce excellent science and
advanced technology with the cooperation, support, and appropriate involvement
of scientific and local communities.
