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%
Glen Cove, NY (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. Intellidyne, LLC may be found

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.
