Texas Department Of Housing Approves IntelliCon® Energy Economizers
Technology to Save 10-30% off Energy Costs and Improve Efficiency in State Housing Developments
Austin, Texas, June 20, 2005 – The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs has recently approved the IntelliCon® line of energy economizers, manufactured by Intellidyne LLC of Glen Cove, New York, to increase the energy efficiency capabilities of air conditioning systems in state housing developments.
Taking the lead in seeking state approval to use IntelliCon to reduce energy expenditure is Park Development, a subsidiary of the Park Companies based in Jackson, Mississippi. Park Development sought approval from the TDHCA to install IntelliCon energy economizers on all of the existing air conditioning units at two state-funded housing developments: The Park at Kirkstall and The Park at Shiloh.
“The TDHCA was forward thinking to realize that the use of IntelliCon can generate cost savings and energy reduction equal to, or greater than, the performance of 12 SEER units” said Cliff Bates, Director of Acquisitions for Park Development, which has ordered IntelliCon Electrical Consumption Economizers to be installed on all 10 SEER air conditioning systems. “Replacing the entire air conditioning systems would have resulted in an additional expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars. Now, we can reduce the electrical consumption of the existing air conditioning systems by 10-20%, at a fraction of that cost.”
The IntelliCon units, designed to substantially decrease energy consumption, enhance system performance and extend system lifetime, were specified and purchased for Park Development by Keystone Energy in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, an Energy Services Company specializing in developing energy management solutions to residential and commercial properties.
“We’ve been recommending energy management technologies for more than thirteen years, and require proven results on all of the products we specify,” said Bill Probst, owner of Keystone Energy. “IntelliCon fits the bill by guaranteeing a reduction in energy expenditure of up to 30 percent, providing virtually limitless possibilities for energy reduction across the state.”
“We are hopeful that the TDHCA will pave the road for other state agencies to recognize the efficacy of IntelliCon controls to achieve immediate reductions in energy consumption in a very cost effective way, a goal we all share” said Dan Tarulli, Executive Vice President of Business Development for Intellidyne. “After an extensive evaluation of the data and research, TDHCA staff validated that installing IntelliCon on existing systems realizes significant energy savings, an attractive alternative to costly system replacements. We are already working with developers of other housing developments across Texas, and state housing agencies throughout the USA, to help them maximize energy efficiency and minimize spending.”
Unlike other energy-saving products in the marketplace, IntelliCon economizers are easily installed on existing heating, cooling or refrigeration systems and will not affect building comfort level. IntelliCon reduces energy usage by automatically compensating for load and outdoor temperature changes and works in conjunction with the system’s existing temperature controls. IntelliCon does not require any programming and is more effective and maintenance-free than any other technology on the market.
How IntelliCon Products Work
IntelliCon products works by monitoring and analyzing the load on heating or cooling systems and then modifying the way that the burner or compressor would normally be controlled or cycled. This cycle modification results in a more efficient use of the system, with subsequent reductions in energy consumption, wear and tear on the equipment, maintenance requirements and pollution.
