Entrexx
The Entrexx Energy Management system by CentraLite is designed to reduce energy consumption and provide a valuable management tool for a variety of MDU and commercial markets. Entrexx takes a very straight forward approach to energy conservation - any unoccupied space should not be wasting energy. Entrexx combines ZigBee wireless communication technology with sate of the art software to create a robust energy management solution. Thermostats, door sensors, PIR motion sensors, light switches, lamp and appliance modules all work together to monitor and control energy use.
End users and energy experts agree the Entrexx IP based software is a clear leader in ease of use and automated alerts that puts managing and saving energy on cruise control. Maintenance engineers, CFO's and property managers can receive electronic alerts and reports tailored to their specific needs. Whether it is HVAC equipment that is in need of servicing or a quarterly review of energy use by room, space, floor or property, Entrexx is exceeding all expectations.
Hospitality
Entrexx was originally designed with the Hospitality market in mind because energy expenses is the second largest cost for a hotelier (labor is first). Any reduction in consumption falls directly to the hotel's bottom line. So why hasn?t everyone installed an EMS system? Unfortunately legacy EMS systems have left a bad impression on hoteliers. Guest would come into the room, adjust the temperature only to be awaken in the night after it had shut off because they were not moving and the motion sensor was either poorly positioned or not sensitive to the sleeping guest.
Entrexx eliminated this problem with dual sensor technology. The logic sequence between the door and motion sensor ensures that once a guest has been detected in the room, the room remains in occupied mode until the door opens again. While inside the guest has total control of their comfort ensuring the best experience. The thermostat design has been heralded as easy to read and easy to use by hotel guests across the country. Entrexx does not use cards that can be bypassed or single motion sensors that can prove faulty when guest are sleeping. The Entrexx management software makes monitoring and making management changes very simple and integrates with most any PMS system to get the checked in/out status of a room for increased savings when a room is unrented.
Dormitory and Student Housing
Like a hotel guest room, students spend a lot of time out of their dorm. If the university or dorm management company is paying the utility bill, this cost can be reduced significantly by installing an Entrexx system. With the uncertainty of electricity prices looming, many dorms are finding that Entrexx can be a valuable investment to hedge against rising electricity costs.
Commercial Buildings
According to Energy Star, the annual cost of electricity for commercial buildings is 107.9 billion dollars. Entrexx was designed to address this market segment to reduce the unnecessary energy costs. By automating a building with occupancy controls and real-time monitoring, savings of 25% become an easy goal to achieve. Any management group that wants to manage their portfolio of properties from a single location will be delighted by this technology. The Entrexx software makes controlling a building as simple as logging onto your computer. We work with our customers to set energy management parameters that will create the largest energy reduction without affecting the comfort of the tenants.

"A couple of months ago, you and I had an opportunity to discuss briefly how Karen and I feel about our lighting system that Centralite installed in our home in 2000. At that time, I told you it had performed beautifully, and that we are very pleased with it. I would like to expand on that by telling you that the lighting system is wonderful. Of ...
