The GreenSwitch™ home energy control system was originally developed to control energy consumption in the hospitality/hotel industry. Because energy is the second largest expense for hotels, GreenSwitch technology, saving 25 to 45 percent of energy costs, was an instant success.
The system is completely wireless. It may be retrofitted in an existing home or added during new construction. GreenSwitch can even control out buildings and barns greater than 100 yards away.
With the flip of just one switch you can substantially reduce home energy consumption and achieve payback in 1 to 2 years.
- Many appliances and systems in the home draw standby power in the off position.
- Average home installation can be done in about an hour.
- Wireless technology uses microchip Controlled RF (Radio Frequency) communication.
- Substantially extends the useful life of heat/air conditioning systems, television, and lighting due to run time reduction.
- Allows the entire family to participate in the energy saving process.
How It Works
Upon Leaving the Home
When exiting the home, the last person out simply switches the GreenSwitch to the off position.
- A wireless signal is sent to all of the GreenSwitch slave components (wall plugs, light switches, and thermostat)
- Designated light switches and wall plugs will automatically turn off.
- The home's air conditioning/heating system is automatically set to the unoccupied mode allowing for more energy efficient operating temperature range (set points). Set points may be programmed by the homeowner.
Upon Returning to the Home
Simply flip the GreenSwitch to the on position.
- Wall plugs and air conditioning/heating systems will return to normal modes.
- Light switches may be operated manually as needed for continued savings.
