MESSAGE FROM JOHN OWENS

WIRELESS ENERGY MANAGEMENT IS HERE!

Owens Companies formed its first Energy Management Division in August of 1973 two months ahead of the October Middle East Oil Embargo. This is just one of many examples of the visionary leadership of my father.

Today, I am excited to announce the next phase in Energy Management at Owens with wireless control systems for both commercial and residential buildings. Because of the wireless technology installation costs are a fraction of a traditional wired system. Energy paybacks of as little as 1-2 years are being realized with these systems.

The Millennial Net Wireless Energy Management System utilizes new meshscape technology to ensure uninterrupted and reliable communication in a commercial building wireless network. The system will provide for web-based time of day scheduling, access, and monitoring of building conditions, all remotely and accessible from any computer.

Even more exciting is the Millennial Net wireless pneumatic thermostat that for the first time provides an economical solution for upgrading traditional pneumatics, with a remote communicating device. A unique benefit of this is the ability to display branch air pressure at each pneumatic thermostat, illuminating any pneumatic air leaks which can lead to poor temperature control, excessive energy use and accelerated pneumatic air system failures.

The Ecobee Automation System for homes provides the same kind of wireless reliability. In addition to web-based scheduling, it also provides for low and high temperature as well as water alarm capabilities. I'm so sure of this technology, I've now installed the system in my home.

Call your representative today, or call me directly to learn the benefits of Wireless.
