New Wi-Fi Thermostat with Occupancy Detection from EnTouch Controls Simplifies HVAC Management for Restaurants and Retail Outlets 

New EnTouch Pro Delivers Complete Facility Management from Any Computer, Tablet or Smartphone
 
RICHARDSON, TEXAS – Sept. 24, 2013 – EnTouch Controls, a leading provider of energy management systems (EMS) for small businesses and light commercial facilities, today announced its new EnTouch Pro, a commercial thermostat tailored to restaurants, retail stores and other small business and facility owners.
 
With Wi-Fi networking and occupancy detection, the EnTouch Pro allows facility managers to adjust, monitor and detect HVAC issues from any computer, tablet or smartphone.
 
The EnTouch Pro works in commercial applications with or without Internet connectivity. When connected to the Internet, customers can remotely control the system and analyze data via the EnTouch Go cloud-based service. Through the EnTouch Go service, facility managers can monitor multiple facilities all in one place and have access to customizable reporting features and automatic alerting of energy and maintenance issues.
 
The thermostat features a touchscreen display for simple setup and usage. Featuring built-in security, the EnTouch Pro allows facility managers to limit heating and cooling set point adjustments by tenants and employees and works with motion sensors to detect occupancy and adjust settings for comfort and energy savings.
 
“Today’s small facility managers are incredibly busy and don’t have the time to learn and to manage their HVAC energy usage,” said Greg Fasullo, President and CEO of EnTouch Controls. “We’ve built simplicity into the EnTouch Pro so that even the busiest facility manager can easily control HVAC systems remotely, but also identify and troubleshoot hidden HVAC issues resulting in simplified operations and significant energy and cost savings.”
 
[an error occurred while processing this directive] According to ENERGY STAR, restaurants use about 2.5 times more energy per square foot than other commercial buildings and approximately 28 percent of that energy usage comes from HVAC. With the EnTouch Pro, restaurants, as well as retail stores, offices, schools, apartments and condos, can reduce HVAC usage with energy savings of up to 25 percent.

The EnTouch Pro commercial thermostat is available for immediate shipment from the company and its authorized distributors. For more information, contact EnTouch Controls at sales@entouchcontrols.com.
