MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 20 /Christian
Newswire/ -- At a time when churches are increasingly
looking for ways to conserve financial costs and run their
organizations more efficiently, ServiceU(tm) Corporation and
NetworkThermostat(tm) have announced the first-ever
real-time integration between online event management
software and HVAC controls. ServiceU has unveiled EventU(tm)
Green, an add-on to its EventU(tm) software, the leading
online event management software for churches.
"EventU Green is radical because it interfaces directly with
NetworkThermostat's Net/X(tm) devices to modify the
thermostat settings," said Tim Whitehorn, ServiceU's Chief
Executive Officer. "This means that the HVAC controls will
be adjusted automatically as the event schedule changes,
thereby saving churches hundreds, even thousands of dollars
per year."
Jerry Drew is the founder and president of NetworkThermostat,
the industry leader in design and manufacturing of
intelligent network-based thermostats. According to Mr.
Drew, "This new alliance with ServiceU has raised the bar
for HVAC automation. Because it integrates an organization's
event schedule directly to their Net/X thermostats, EventU
Green provides an unprecedented level of savings in both
utility costs and personnel costs."
Some of the benefits and capabilities of this alliance
between EventU Green and Net/X thermostats are as follows:
Benefits
* Reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling of up to 20% or more
* More money to spend on ministry due to savings on utility costs
* Free up valuable labor time currently spent manually managing HVAC controls
* Higher "user satisfaction" since room
temperature will be automatically controlled
Capabilities
* A single calendar system for managing events, rooms, resources, and HVAC
* Real-time control of all air conditioning and heating zones for an entire campus
* Changes to events automatically result in corresponding changes to HVAC controls
* High-availability architecture continues
HVAC control even if Internet is down
Integration with HVAC controls is not a new concept for
ServiceU. Since 2004, the company has worked with its
customers to create export files that can be imported into
the scheduling module of their existing HVAC control
systems. EventU Green takes a quantum leap by providing
real-time control of air conditioning and heating zones for
an entire campus. "We have the privilege of serving some of
the most innovative churches in the world," says Whitehorn.
"Their suggestions led to the design of EventU Green and
will radically improve churches' stewardship of energy usage
and ministry dollars."
