April 10, 2013: Carrier and REGEN Energy Sign Agreement to Offer Energy Management on Rooftop Units
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — 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 is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
Swarm Energy Management can now be integrated into the Carrier WeatherMaker®, WeatherMaster®, and WeatherExpert™ product lines, to reduce peak electrical usage when installed as accessories to these rooftop units in commercial and industrial applications. The Swarm Energy Management controllers utilize REGEN Energy’s patented swarm logic to provide intelligent load management and significant energy savings without sacrificing occupant comfort, says the company. The 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.
