December 4, 2006—Optimum Applied Systems Inc., (OAS) a leading energy conservation technology firm, has introduced H-COM: Heat Computer Mobile, a software program that allows users to monitor and adjust a building’s energy-burning system using any mobile device from anywhere on the planet.
H-COM was designed with state of the art Internet/mobile device communication technology as a portable link to the firm’s Heat Computer, says OAS. “For the first time a person can be on a beach in Brazil and turn down the heat in a building in the Bronx,” said Ed Winiarski, OAS President and CEO.
The H-COM mobile system was designed as a connection to the OAS Heat Computer, an industry-leading conservation device for more than three decades, and the foundation of the firm’s vision for complete building control.
Earlier this year, the firm introduced the Heat Computer Online, an Internet-based monitoring system that is wired into a residential building’s oil or steam heating system. Through wireless sensors installed throughout the structure, it accurately monitors the temperatures inside the building. The Heat Computer Online allows building owners and managers a customizable, Internet-based location where buildings can be monitored and run more efficiently.
H-COM: Heat Computer Mobile syncs with the Heat Computer, which OAS has installed in hundreds of apartment buildings as a way for owners and managers to measure building temperatures and detect heating problems.
The device offers a snapshot of individual room temperatures, 24-hours-a-day, from any Internet-ready mobile device. Other features include:
- An immediate, organized history of boiler, domestic hot water, and inside and outside temperatures on a daily, monthly or yearly basis.
- Ability to view heating system diagnostics to prevent future problems, make adjustments and order repairs immediately.
- Immediate alerts to heat and hot water problems within the building.
- A way for building managers to know about and react to over-and under-heated apartments immediately.
