October 24, 2001—Telemetrix Inc., a provider of wireless telemetry and telecommunications solutions, recently began an energy monitoring project in Northern California with the US Department of Energy, Burger King, Cingular PCS, and ITC International. In this project, Telemetrix will implement its patented e-Telemetry Data system to track energy usage in real time using the actual data to make adjustments to the various energy consuming elements that are appropriate for the time of day, as well as the inside and outside temperatures and other energy-related activities of the restaurant facilities.
The e-Telemetry Data system delivers data and permits the control of remote devices through a simple Internet connection In addition. Through the use of the system, the ability to monitor and manage the performance and efficiency of HVAC systems—including the compressors, filters, fans, and overall HVAC operation—is enhanced.
Roger Engstrom, principal of ITC and president of the Association for Facility Engineers in the San Francisco Bay area, said, “Our goal is to do continuous monitoring review of buildings using wireless technology, with the first implementation being the HVAC applications, which if fully implemented could dramatically reduce energy consumption and reduce commercial consumer energy costs by tens of millions of dollars over a very short period of time.”
