Telkonet SmartEnergy Management System to Increase Energy Efficiencies at InTown Suites Properties

InTown Suites announces that it has awarded a $3.8 million dollar contract to Telkonet, Inc. for its Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) energy management system. Under the contract, Telkonet will install TSE products in one hundred and twenty-five InTown Suites locations across the US, as part of the organization's ongoing commitment to achieving increased energy efficiencies at their properties.

TSE provides an economic, green approach to controlling HVAC usage and improving energy efficiency. The system uses a combination of occupancy sensors, along with intelligent programmable thermostats or PTAC controllers, to adjust and maintain a room's temperature according to occupancy, eliminating wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms.

"Telkonet has demonstrated its commitment to InTown Suites throughout the pilot program and has successfully delivered a product that will help us realize substantial energy efficiencies and cost savings as a part of our overall energy management initiative," a spokesperson from InTown Suites explains. "TSE's design flexibility was a further factor in the contract award, with its existing capability to operate with the cross-section of packaged terminal air conditioners already installed in InTown Suites' locations."

Commencing in January 2008, Telkonet will begin an aggressive implementation of the scheduled installations to ensure completion of this initiative within a six-month timeframe.
