Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE), an intelligent and advanced energy management system, adjusts and maintains a room’s temperature according to occupancy, eliminating wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms. TSE delivers optimum energy savings without compromising occupant comfort, thanks to its patented Recovery Time technology (RT). RT works quite differently than a typical fixed setback system, where the temperature is set to one fixed amount in all rooms. With TSE, each room’s temperature is adjusted based on many factors, including calculating how far it can drift from the guest’s preferred temperature setting, while ensuring the temperature will return to its setting within minutes of the guest's return.
Why TSE?
• Significantly reduces energy usage; maximizes guest comfort with patented Recovery Time technology.• Delivers room-by-room energy savings.• Quick, simple, cost-effective installation using wireless technology.• Easy maintenance.• Reduced wear and tear on HVAC units.• Humidity protection.• PC downloadable data.• Rapid return on investment.
