Chelmsford, MA – September 20, 2010 – Millennial Net
has recently become a member of the Association for the Advancement of
Sustainability in Higher Education, an association of colleges and universities
working to create a sustainable world. Through its membership in AASHE,
Millennial Net will be able to assist higher education institutions in advancing
their sustainability initiatives.
Dieter Schill, President and CEO of Millennial Net commented, “Technology has
always been the primary driver in all major sustainability initiatives and we
are excited to become an integral part of AASHE’s mission. Wireless mesh sensor
networks are becoming an enabling technology to retrofit existing buildings for
enhanced energy conservation and a reliable solution for initiatives like the
smart grid.”
“We are delighted to have Millennial Net on board and participating in the
campus sustainability community,” said Paul Rowland, executive director of AASHE.
“Their involvement in AASHE demonstrates a commitment to working with higher
education to create a just and sustainable future for all.”
Reducing energy waste significantly cuts carbon emissions. Millennial Net
provides Energy Management Solutions (EMS) that monitor and control energy
consumption to improve efficiency and reduce waste in buildings. Millennial Net
EMS products range from wireless pneumatic and electric thermostats, switches,
electricity sub-meters, temperature and humidity meters and number of other
sensors. The product suite combines internet and wireless mesh sensor network
technologies for a non-invasive and affordable means to retrofit existing
buildings. A large number of buildings in higher education institutions are
still operating with pneumatic control infrastructures and are falling behind in
energy management and waste reduction. Millennial Net’s EMS easily addresses
this problem by converting a building with working pneumatic control system to a
Direct Digital Control (DDC), using wireless technology. Wireless pneumatic DDC
provides rapid payback and minimal disruption to gain ongoing energy and
maintenance cost savings, while improving comfort and operations. Millennial
Net’s EMS can function as part of existing Building Management Systems
integrating via BACnet IP protocol, or can operate as stand alone hosted
solution to provide Web-based remote monitoring, control, and maintenance of
building environments.
The key is to help higher education institutions align energy consumption and
expenses with other cost-saving priorities. Higher education institutions need
to better understand how energy consumption relates to their operations, to
drive behavioral changes and much more effective investments to upgrade
buildings and equipment.
AASHE enables colleges and universities to meet their sustainability goals by
providing specialized resources, professional development, and a network for
sharing information about sustainability products and services. Membership
covers the entire business or campus, so everyone can take advantage of event
discounts, access to member-only resources, and other benefits.

Another major program that AASHE supports is the American College & University
Presidents’ Climate Commitment. Over 650 presidents and chancellors to date have
signed this commitment and are leading their institutions to climate neutrality
as soon as possible. AASHE hosts the climate action reporting tool for the
ACUPCC.
