VILLAGE
OF HUNTINGTON BAY
FIRST VILLAGE IN SUFFOLK COUNTY TO
ADOPT
ENERGY SAVING TECHNOLOGY
Glen
Cove, New York –May 7, 2003 – Nationally,
owners and occupants of commercial buildings spend
more than $300 billion a year on heating, cooling,
lighting and other energy services. Long Island communities
are part of that number, with many towns and villages
taking a line-by-line budgeting approach to finding
ways to save money without cutting essential services
or raising taxes. Village of Huntington Bay Mayor
Herb Morrow encourages the use of alternative energy
sources and looks for resourceful ways to reduce power
usage and energy consumption, which led to the decision
to install IntelliCon? energy saving controls in the
Village facilities.
“This
innovative and effective technology is a very practical
solution for reducing energy consumption, improving
building systems performance and increasing worker
comfort and productivity,” says Mayor Morrow.
“It’s such an excellent tool for cutting
costs and saving money that I plan to recommend its
use for private clubs in our Village, Huntington Town
schools, Huntington Hospital and the municipal facilities
of the Town of Huntington.”
Within
one month of installation, the Village reduced fuel
consumption by 14% and reduced on/off cycling (the
amount of times the system automatically turns on
and off) by 16%. Morrow, who directs the Village’s
energy program, emphasized that this is a successful
way to trim energy usage in both public buildings
and residential dwellings, noting that the larger
the municipality, the more significant the potential
savings.
In
addition to establishing the Village of Huntington
Bay as a leader in energy conservation among Long
Island communities, the technology also serves as
an example to Long Island residents, as its characteristics
are transferable for use in residential heating and
cooling systems. “We plan to discuss this technology
in the next issue of The Village Quarterly, our residential
newsletter. It is important that Huntington Bay homeowners
know this technology is available for purchase and
how easy it is to use less energy and drastically
cut their electric bill, year round.”
“Achieving
energy and cost savings from commercial equipment
begins with more informed purchasing decisions,”
says Dan Tarulli, Intellidyne Vice President. “Our
company is working to educate building owners/operators
and residential consumers to make smarter and more
cost-effective decisions about
energy usage.”
