Emerson has announced a strategic investment in Transformative Wave, a Kent, Washington-based provider of technologies to help drive energy efficiency and savings for rooftop HVAC systems, including cloud-based building automation control, remote monitoring, and diagnostics.
Transformative Wave announced that it has expanded its production capacity to meet increased demand for its CATALYST product, a HVAC energy efficiency retrofit solution for existing constant volume rooftop units (RTUs).
As analyzed and reported by California’s Emerging Technologies Coordinating Council, Bes-Tech announced that Southern California Edison tested the company’s Digi-RTU® HVAC Rooftop Optimization Kit and found an energy reduction of up to 40 percent kW and 50 percent kWh.
The organizing partners of the Advanced Rooftop Unit (RTU) Campaign (ARC) have announced their award winners for excellence in RTU efficiency. ASHRAE, Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Better Buildings Alliance and Federal Energy Management Program launched the campaign in 2013.
