Climatix Rooftop Unit Optimization Solution – Siemens
MUNICH, Germany — Siemens unveiled its Climatix® Rooftop Unit (RTU) optimization solution, designed for millions of smaller to medium-size buildings, such as small offices, retail, grocery and convenience stores, restaurants, K-12 facilities, and houses of worship. This market relies mostly on basic thermostat control for heating and cooling and faces increasing pressures to reduce costs. The controller-driven solution addresses a gap in the market to improve energy efficiency, IAQ (including fresh air intake circulation), and overall building comfort — without having to add a complete building automation solution. It also includes remote management service that allows HVAC mechanical and controls contractors to gain real-time access to RTU performance data through the Internet, saving time and money by eliminating system downtime and unnecessary truck rolls.
“We set out to deliver a better rooftop unit management solution unlike any other that’s designed with efficiency in mind for both contractors and building owners,” said John Karczmarczyk, vice president, Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA. “This new solution has been tested and deployed working closely with our channel partners, to provide a true turnkey solution at an affordable price.”
