Comverge to Deliver Integrated IntelliSOURCE and Carrier(R) Branded Thermostat Solution to TXU Energy
18 Aprile 2012 - 3:00PM
Comverge, Inc. (Nasdaq:COMV), the leading provider of Intelligent
Energy Management solutions for Residential and Commercial &
Industrial (C&I) customers, today announced it will deliver
thousands of Carrier®-branded ComfortChoice® Touch thermostats from
United Technologies Electronic Controls, Inc. ("UTEC") this year to
TXU Energy for its energy savings solution, the BrightenSM
iThermostat. Comverge has fully integrated the Zigbee®-enabled
Carrier-branded thermostat with its IntelliSOURCE platform to offer
a premium option for two-way communications between TXU Energy
customers and their thermostats, providing the insight, convenience
and control needed to optimize electricity usage.
The Brighten iThermostat was developed to help TXU Energy
customers conserve electricity and save money on their electricity
bills. Under the new agreement with Comverge, TXU Energy now offers
its customers a new Carrier-branded ComfortChoice touch screen
programmable thermostat that electricity customers can use to
conveniently adjust the temperature or change the programming from
any Web-enabled device.
"Comverge has been an important partner in helping us deliver
one of the most innovative energy conservation tools available in
the market today, the Brighten iThermostat," said Michael Grasso,
chief marketing officer, TXU Energy. "At TXU Energy, we're
committed to giving our customers choice, convenience and control
over how and when they use electricity at home. We're excited about
the new Carrier thermostat, which helps us deliver on that promise
through a refreshed Web-based interface that's integrated with our
app for iPhone. It's a great tool our customers can use to help
them save electricity and money on their monthly bills."
Customers using Brighten iThermostats also participate in an
energy conservation program with TXU Energy in times of extreme
electricity demand. The company can leverage the Comverge
IntelliSOURCE platform to temporarily cycle off air conditioners
during peak consumption hours. Last summer, when a record-breaking
heat wave affected parts of Texas for roughly 70 days, the
capabilities of the platform proved beneficial as TXU Energy and
thousands of Brighten iThermostat customers used it to help reduce
strain on Texas' power systems.
"We are excited that our agreement announced earlier this year
to procure Carrier-branded thermostats is validated with such a
large order for the smart thermostat," said Comverge president and
chief executive officer, R. Blake Young. "TXU Energy is at the
cutting-edge of energy management initiatives, and we are pleased
to be able to continue to support its programs with our demand
response solutions."
The addition of the Carrier ComfortChoice® Touch thermostat to
our solution portfolio reflects on our commitment to having a
diverse set of device options for our clients as we work to
maintain our positions as the leading provider of intelligent
energy management solutions for all customer classes," added
Young.
"UTEC has leveraged its leadership in two-way communicating
thermostats in the development of the Carrier-branded
ComfortChoice® Touch ZigBee® certified thermostat for the industry,
and we are extremely pleased to be selected by Comverge and TXU
Energy for this important program," said Esther Johnson, vice
president and general manager, UTEC.
