Carrier Offers
Energy Management Technology on WeatherseriesSM Rooftops.
Carrier and REGEN Energy
Inc.™, developer of the patented wireless Swarm Energy
Management™ electrical demand management and dynamic load
control technology, have signed an agreement to provide a
field-installed accessory to assist with energy management on
Carrier’s commercial rooftop units. Carrier, the world’s leader
in high technology heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration
solutions, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit
of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
Swarm Energy Management™ by REGEN Energy can now be integrated
into the Carrier® WeatherMaker®, WeatherMaster®, and
WeatherExpert™ product lines, dramatically reducing peak
electrical usage when installed as accessories to these rooftop
units in commercial and industrial properties. Swarm Energy
Management controllers utilize REGEN Energy’s patented swarm
logic to provide intelligent load management and substantial
energy savings – all without sacrificing occupant comfort. This
system programs each unit in the network to communicate with
each other every few minutes, with individual elements making an
operating decision every 10 minutes to ensure units support the
most efficient use of energy.
