Energy saving $175,000

The County of Santa Clara has completed a major retrofit of County buildings to save energy using Cypress Envirosystems’ Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat (WPT) system. Most commercial buildings ten years or older have pneumatic thermostats that require manual adjustment. The County operates eleven million square feet of existing facilities, with an annual energy cost of $15 million. “The wireless thermostat installation took only eight days and was one of the easiest, fastest and most cost effective energy efficiency improvements we have ever made in our buildings,” said Jeff Draper, Manager of Building Operations. “We installed 350 wireless thermostats for a total project cost of $175,000.” (Supervisor Liz Kniss, President of the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors.)
