Wireless Sensors Just Got a Big Upgrade

Heat-Timer© has been selling its Internet Heating Controls into boiler rooms for well over 2 decades now. The newest Internet Controls continue the legacy of energy savings that made Heat-Timer© the leading purveyor of boiler control products in the country.

But we have never been a company to rest on our laurels. Our latest upgrade to our internet controls solves problems of remote control and monitoring through phone and internet, as well as integration of wireless sensors that improve the operational efficiency of our control. With the new sensors reporting temperature movement from strategic locations around your building, you can as much as double the amount of money you save on heating bills in your apartment building every month.

Why do the New Sensors Make Such a Difference In Boiler Control Efficiency?

Many decades ago, Heat-Timer© pioneered the use of “outdoor reset”. With knowledge of outdoor temperature, and an internally wired temperature sensor, our control anticipated the heat loss of your building.  Resulting in using as little fuel as possible while providing maximum, consistent resident comfort.

So how do we improve on that?

For starters, Heat-Timer’s current sensors are completely wireless. This allows us to use more of them placed strategically throughout a large building to monitor temperature. More data points means better ability to analyze thermal loss, control zones and prevent hot and cold spots in the building. We generally recommend 1 sensor for every 4 units (25%) in your building. More comfort, more intelligence, saving you more money on fuel.

Our latest wireless sensors also use a proprietary frequency and ultra-long transmission/ reception hardware that is also ultra low-power. We’ve seen this tech work through a solid 8 floors in a building without a repeater. For most buildings, this makes installation and setup extremely easy.

Our latest incarnation of sensors also uses a low power design. Running on two AA lithium batteries, a sensor can last 12+ years or more before needing to replace the batteries.

If you haven’t explored our BuildingNet (Internet) Upgrade for our controls with our Long Range Wireless sensors then you are literally leaving money in the boiler room.

Upgrade Your Platinum Series Control Today

The very latest wireless sensor technology is available in our BuildingNet upgrade. This upgrade can easily be made in the field on any Platinum Series Controller.

If you have a smaller multi-family building (20 Units or less) then check out our new Genesis Heat-Timer internet control with long range space sensors.

Understanding Local Law 97 and its Impact in NYC

Enacted in November of 2019, the New York City Climate Mobilization Act (CMA) is an ambitious package of legislation aimed at reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. According to the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability, over 70% of New York City’s carbon emissions come from buildings. With goals set to reduce carbon emissions in the city by 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2050, building emissions are critical to achieving these levels.

Beginning in 2024, LL97 places stringent and increasing emissions limits on most buildings over 25,000 square feet. Buildings that exceed limits face substantial fines. This makes investments in energy efficiency retrofits and electrification the most economical pathway in many cases.

Who is Impacted by LL97?

If you’re a multi-tenant building owner in the five boroughs, there’s a good chance you are! Estimates are that 50,000 residential and commercial buildings across the city—60% of total buildings must comply with LL97’s requirements. With some exceptions, LL97 covers:

Buildings that exceed 25,000 gross square feet

Two or more buildings on the same tax lot that together exceed 50,000 square feet

Two or more buildings owned by a condo association that are governed by the same board of managers and that together exceed 50,000 square feet

Buildings will face annual fines of $268 per ton of emissions above the limit, with many facing multimillion-dollar penalties. ‍

How are Emissions Limits Determined?‍

A number of factors go into determining the greenhouse emission limit per building. These include building usage classifications, occupancy levels and gross floor area. However, limits will not be based on volume, but on intensity. Specifically, it will be tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (tCO²e) per square foot.

Guidelines for determining and measuring emission limits were clarified last year and information can be found on the NYC.gov website. It is however a rapidly evolving landscape and many building owners may prefer to resort to third party energy consultants who can do the analysis for you.‍ This analysis once approved will serve as a baseline against which future compliance and reductions are measured. By 2024 all affected building owners should have completed this analysis and had their baselines established.

What is the Law’s Timeline?‍

Over time, carbon emission requirements for buildings will go down, and fines levied will go up for non-compliance. Emission limits begin in 2024 and become much more stringent after 2030. It is expected that the most carbon-intensive buildings—approximately 20% of eligible buildings—will miss the mark in this initial period and be subject to fines that will be levied in earnest in 2024.

By 2030, maximum emissions limits will be nearly halved with the aim of creating a 40% carbon reduction compared to 2005 levels. Today, 75% of buildings exceed this limit. Building owners can avail themselves of a number of strategies to minimize fines.  These include:

Buy Carbon Credits to offset carbon emissions but only up to 10% of your carbon.

Convert Oil or Gas burning furnaces to Heat Pumps

Buy Renewable Energy credits (REC’s)

Generally lower your fuel usage by using energy saving measures in the boiler room. (Yes, this is certainly where we come in…)

Heat-Timer© is poised to help building owners take a big bite out of LL97

Energy efficiency and electrification measures that enable buildings to reduce consumption of the carbon-intensive fuel types are the overarching strategy for building owners affected by LL97. For managers with existing water or steam boilers that are not in need of replacement, Heat-Timer© provides the primary solution for reduction of emissions. Regardless of how new or feature rich your boiler or boilers are, the addition of an appropriate Platinum Series Internet Control with wireless apartment sensors can save you a class leading 30% every month. That’s a real 30% and not carefully chosen and inflated data claimed by some of our competitors. Because our unit runs an internal wireless network for our sensors, installation in any building is easy, and thus payback on the installation charges typically occurs in the first or second year, depending on how big your fuel bill is.

If you already have a Platinum Series Controller, make sure it has been upgraded with our internet upgrade package. Just adding this capability can save you another 15%-20% over the base controller while making control and monitoring on phones, tablets and laptops a snap.

For most building owners in NYC, Heat-Timer© Platinum series products were made to help you be a greener building in a greener world.  Call us today to find out more.

Way Mixing Valves For Your Hot Water System

Heat-Timer®️ 3-way mixing valves combine hot and cold water with precise proportions to maintain the desired target temperature. These valves are equipped with motors and transformers. Visit our website for details!

[heattimernj]

Heat-Timer® ETV/ETS – Now Saving Time as well as Money..

For plumbing professionals, time IS money.  The longer a job takes, the longer your guys are tied up and can’t get to the next job. Or you have to bid the expected time so high that you never get the job in the first place.

Heat-Timer® has been helping commercial plumbers for decades by providing them high quality solutions for domestic hot water systems. The most current evolution of our 3-way mixing valve, we call our ETV or Electronic Tempering Valve. This motorized mixing valve is driven by a control module that utilizes an immersion sensor to control the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a desired mixed outlet temp +/- 2 degrees. With our computer guided ETV running the show, you can keep your hot water supply heated hot enough to be safe from bacteria (See Table Below) like Legionella, while delivering a perfectly controlled hot water temperature to end users.

Heat-Timer’s ETV Now Delivered Inside the ETS

The Heat-Timer Electronic Tempering Valve (ETV) has been an industry standard valve for reliability and accuracy for many years. It’s a go-to for most commercial plumbers that have been around a while. But what many of them still don’t know is that the ETV is now available as part of the Electronic Tempering Station (ETS). This is a pre-plumbed ETV solution available in multiple piping sizes from 1 ½ inch to 4 inch piping. The entire goal of the ETS is to provide a ready to go solution for valve replacement that requires nothing more than hot and cold water connections and some A/C for the ETV Controller. Field experience has shown that the ETS saves many hours of time at the jobsite, in some cases allowing a complete switchover to the ETS solution in only a few hours.

The ETS is a completely pre-wired, pre-plumbed solution including all unions, isolation valves, sensors and check valves that would be required in a first rate field installation. For added protection, the ETS assembly is configured to shut off the hot water supply to the mixing valve on loss of power or if the mixed outlet temperature exceeds the Alarm Limit. It does that by operating a separate High Temp Limit valve located on the hot water supply.

The assembly is compact and saves plumbers many hours of painstaking work while decreasing downtime of the hot water supply to the building being retrofitted. It is extremely cost effective and even comes in a duplex configuration built for high GPM requirements or critical installations requiring redundancy.

You do the math but we’re pretty sure that if you’re bidding large jobs for apartments, hotels, or hospital conversions, you’ll be at a competitive advantage if you bid with Heat-Timer’s Electronic Tempering Station. The ETS is simply the most economical, high-tech, and most efficient integrated DHW solution to bid on your next job. 

And don’t forget about the new

ETS-LT

, the wall mounted lower cost version of our ETS for simplex (single valve) configurations, for saving even more time/money on your DHW installations.

Features of the ETS-LT

Completely prewired and pre-plumbed ETV suitable for wall mounting

Simplex configurations only

6 Valve Sizes ranging from ¾” to 2 ½”

Safety hot water shutoff on loss of power or alarm conditions

Strong Unistrut frame for flexible wall mounting.

Heat-Timer’s Wireless Sensor Integration Just got a Big Upgrade

One of the most appealing parts of the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series is the wireless sensor connectivity that comes with our Building Net internet upgrade. There are thousands of clients who own an original, non-internet capable Platinum Series control and when they upgrade the control with our Building Net internet package they actually get two major elements:

An Internet/Mobile ready control – The Building Net upgrade gives any platinum control the ability to be controlled via the internet through a simple browser connection to a web management portal, or via our free mobile app. In either case, reports, alarms, control settings, and real-time monitoring are all at your fingertips, wherever those fingertips may be.

Wireless Sensor Integration – You can think of this as the second network access that is enabled by the Building Net upgrade. This internal Long Range network allows you to connect our wireless space sensors to the control, which by reporting temperatures in various parts of the building, enables a greater level of automated control and efficiency over your heating equipment. In the field, we see that this upgrade can result in an additional 15% further decrease in monthly heating bills over a Heat-Timer® Platinum Control without it.

Heat-Timer® highly recommends that platinum control owners who have not yet upgraded their control to our Building Net package, consider it as soon as possible. The upgrade is not cost prohibitive and the opportunity to reduce heating costs further, reduce boiler maintenance and repair costs, and provide amazing convenience and control from any mobile device, make this an ROI positive investment in every sense of the word.

And now Wireless Sensor Integration is Even Easier

With the introduction of Heat-Timer® Genesis last year, small building owners actually got their first look at an improved wireless sensor and sensor network. Utilizing newer, long range technology two major upgrades became part of the wireless sensor system:

Sensor Range – A new implementation of the wireless sensor network has resulted in much greater sensor range capability. With new models, sensors communicate through as many as 8 floors without the need for repeaters.

Sensor Battery Life – With a new sensor implementation that uses modern low power devices, our new sensors are capable of 10+ years of activity on a single set of AA lithium batteries. Remember too that sensor battery life is easily monitored through the web portal.

This extended range sensor network is now available for all Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Customers!  If you haven’t already purchased this upgrade for your Platinum Control, you now have even more of a reason!

Commercial Boiler Maintenance in the Summer: What You Need to Know

School’s almost out for summer, but you better think twice before you just let your boilers enjoy a long summer vacation. While it’s important to update a boiler maintenance checklist all year long, it’s even more important to dedicate time in the summer to do a more significant check-in on your commercial boilers. For one, many of the people in your building will be taking advantage of summer vacations which means less people occupying the space at one time. 

Now is the time to invest in energy-efficient heating system upgrades that will reduce your energy costs in the long run, and prevent you from making multiple trips to the boiler room during peak heating season. Where do you start? Here are five recommendations to keep in mind when performing commercial boiler maintenance in the summer by our team at Heat-Timer®. 

1. Never underestimate the power of a good general cleaning.

A deep clean is not only reserved for spring. Start your summer commercial boiler maintenance on the right foot with a good cleaning of the boiler room. A dark, dirty, and cluttered boiler room is a breeding ground for potential problems down the line. Begin by removing anything stored in the room that is not crucial for boiler operation and replace lightbulbs with energy-efficient LEDs to ensure your electricity bill stays low and your lighting lasts longer. Finally, give the floor a good mop and vacuum out the cobwebs and dust from the boiler equipment. With all the garbage removed you’ll be able to take a good look around to find the real problems. 

2. If you haven’t already, make a boiler inspection list and check it twice.

Make a list of what to look for during your commercial boiler inspection. Be sure to include what to inspect on the actual boiler itself, as well as the surrounding environment. Some common examples to look for: water stains on the floor, rust on pumps or valves, droopy pipe insulation, and for damaged sensors or valve controls. These are all signs of pending failures. For steam heating systems in particular, inspect the main line air vents. In general, look for water stains and any evidence of leaking.

As for the surrounding area, walk the building outside the boiler room. Check radiators and make sure the steam radiator air vents have not been painted over or tampered with. If you have installed remote wireless sensors, like the Heat-Timer® Wireless Sensor System, this is a good time to check the control portal to see if any sensors in your building need new batteries.

If you don’t have a heating control and/or an associated network of wireless sensors monitoring your building, this may be the summer to install it.  A Heat-Timer® Internet heating controller can monitor your commercial building via a network of wireless sensors and give you instant updates about your building’s health and the operation performance of valves and boilers in your system. These sensors include room sensors that provide real time information on the hot and cold areas of your building, allowing the self-learning algorithms in our controls to keep the room temperature stable without unnecessarily putting your boiler into overdrive.

Our building control also provides internet and mobile app based alarms and monitoring. From your smartphone or tablet, a building manager can see reports on energy usage, critical temperatures and can set or tweak all parameters associated with the efficient heating of the building.  

3. Take note of the heat, pipe insulation may be in order. 

Does your boiler room feel like a sauna during the heating season? This is a strong indicator that the pipes in your boiler room are uninsulated, or the insulation is damaged or missing. Summer is the perfect time to insulate any exposed pipes since they are all at a safe temperature. Here are three major benefits to insulating the system heating pipes:

Reduces energy costs, and improves     system balance, especially for those long runs to the far end of the     building.

Reduces the temperature in the boiler     room, making preventive maintenance or boiler repairs less grueling.

Prevents burn injuries while maintenance     work is being performed.

4. Thoroughly clean out the boiler and make proactive repairs. 

The boiler is the heart of the heating system. Neglect the heart, and the whole body will fail – same goes with your commercial heating system. If maintenance isn’t performed routinely and properly, the system can fail in many sudden and expensive ways.

Summer gives you the time to drain the boiler, so that both the fireside and waterside of the boiler can be properly cleaned and inspected. Hire a qualified boiler technician to inspect and clean the burner. If necessary, they should also replace the three most crucial safety systems on the boiler.

The blowdown valve

The low water cut-off switch

The pressure relief valve

Failures in any of these systems can result in a boiler shut down or damage. One added benefit of use of Heat-Timer® Controls is that our system can alert you of a number of common boiler issues before they become serious.  

Upgrade to more efficient boiler controls

 If your boiler controls are more than 10 years old, it’s time that you benefit from self learning heating controls and the convenience of remote monitoring provided by controls like the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series or new Heat-Timer® Genesis, for smaller buildings.

Heat Timer® series controls come standard with outdoor reset sensors, wireless temperature sensors, and self-learning software that continuously optimizes the heating cycle for your buildings thermal loss characteristics and the local climate. This alone reduces heating costs up to 30%, while the system’s internet communication option will allow you to manage your heating system from anywhere with an internet connection and a mobile device. For more information call Heat-Timer® today

Before you hit the Beach, Get Your Building Under Control

There is really no better time than summer to get your winter heating system dealt with and that should include upgrades like a Heat-Timer® Control System. 

For those who already have a non-internet version of a Platinum control, getting our internet upgrade should also be a priority.  This upgrade includes both a wireless sensor system, as well as complete internet and mobile connectivity.  The best part of this is that you can save as much as an additional 30% with additional capability this upgrade allows while improving resident comfort.

Commercial Buildings Need to Prioritize Water Safety

Whether you own or operate a commercial building providing domestic hot water to its residents, the rise in reported cases of legionella disease nationally has to concern you.

Consider the following graph from the CDC website:

Legionella cases reported to CDC have been on the rise since 2000. Health departments reported nearly 10,000 cases of Legionnaires’ disease in the United States in 2018, up from barely 1000 cases in 2000, but even that is probably not the whole story. Because many cases of Legionnaires’ disease are improperly diagnosed and unreported, this number almost certainly underestimates the actual occurrences.  A recent study estimated that the true number of Legionnaires’ disease cases may be 1.8–2.7 times higher than what is reported. More illness is usually found in the summer and early fall, but it can happen any time of year. The CDC estimates that every year approximately 7.2 million Americans get sick from diseases spread through water.

While some of this increase may be due to increased awareness and ease of internet reporting, there is no doubt that the overall number is on the rise. Factors such as an aging plumbing infrastructure, extended length water piping, and increased aeration in the water due to low flow fixtures and the increasing use of tankless commercial systems installed without mixing valves, can all be contributing factors. In their official Legionella prevention toolkit, the CDC directly recommends the installation of a mixing valve to prevent waterborne disease while preventing a scalding hazard at the sink.

The chart below encapsulates some of the studies on Legionella growth and the temperature ranges involved.

How Heat-Timer® Products Help Create Safe Water Delivery

Water safety in a commercial building or hospital requires careful analysis of many factors in the design of your water distribution system. However, without a doubt the use of water storage systems is a key area to address the elimination of Legionella risk. By storing water at temperatures high enough to kill bacteria while delivering it at safe temperatures to end users, mixing valves have been solving that problem for decades.

The Heat-Timer® mixing valves like our ETV (Electronic Tempering Valve) or our pre-plumbed version called the ETS (Electronic Tempering Station) take safety and accuracy of mixing to the next level.

Our computer controlled valve includes a large, easy-to-read display and user-friendly adjustment module that can be located up to 500 feet from the valve. This allows outlet water temperature to be monitored at a glance and for the temperature to be adjusted without having to access the valve piping.

The ETV Platinum Plus combines a rugged stainless-steel valve body, reliable electronic actuator, and a microcontroller module. The control module constantly monitors the outlet temperature of the valve which is continuously displayed and can be read across the room in virtually any lighting condition. Based on the set point, which is user-adjustable in 1° increments, the control employs PID-type logic to adjust the actuator. The actuator mounts directly to the valve body and mixes the hot and cold water required to produce the desired outlet temperature.

Installation can be incredibly fast and simple if you opt for our ETS which is a pre-plumbed, small footprint solution using our ETV. Simply connect the hot and cold water supply to it and plug it in and you are good to go. This kind of convenience is essential when trying to minimize water supply downtime in an actively used or occupied building.

The ETV control quickly restores the desired water temperature, even after large changes in load conditions, with a minimum of fluctuation. Below is a photo taken of water temperature monitoring before and after the installation of an ETS in a large college dormitory.

Note the wild fluctuation of delivered water temperature prior to installation. After only a few hours of downtime, our ETS was installed and note the straight horizontal line at the right, indicating perfectly consistent water temperature.

Legionella safety is a concern for all of us. There are tried and true solutions out there today for your building. Give Heat-Timer® a call today to see how we can help. https://www.heat-timer.com/

Things are Heating Up!

Winter is always the busiest time of year for the crew at Heat-Timer®, between helping clients get the most out of their heating controls, to answering questions, to helping our industry partners get the equipment and parts they need from our factory here in Fairfield New Jersey, well you get the idea. 

And this year saw a new level of crazy, with the introduction of the Heat-Timer Genesis®, our brand new internet heating control designed specifically for small buildings. We knew we had a winner with this control but only a few months after its introduction, it’s clear that small building owners think so too.

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock and not actively reading our blog, allow us to recap:

The Heat-Timer Genesis® Heating Control

In September we announced the availability of the Heat-Timer Genesis®, a brand new heating control. Genesis is designed with capabilities and pricing that allow buildings of less than 20 units to take advantage of the same money saving potential of our world leading Platinum series controls. All for a fraction of the up front installation costs.

The Genesis unit uses the same class leading, self learning control software as our Platinum series, but has more affordable features and packaging that allow small building owners to reap the benefits of up to 30% off their heating bills. With the reduced cost of the system, that allows most small building owners to recover the cost of the equipment and installation in the first full season of use.

The Genesis is designed to run a single steam or hot water boiler based heating system. The control utilizes outdoor temperature (outdoor reset) and wireless room sensor data from your building to develop a profile of heat loss around your building. These data points are rolled into a software algorithm that allows the Genesis to learn your buildings heat loss characteristics. The Genesis will then anticipate need and control boiler firing to achieve that perfect balance between resident comfort and energy usage.

Mobile App Access

A mobile app! The free Heat-Timer® Mobile app, and internet portal provide insight into your entire portfolio of buildings. You can monitor temperatures, change parameters, monitor alarm conditions, and generate historical data all from the comfort of your couch. 

You can Heat things Up Too.

Yes we are certainly busy, and every year we wonder why folks don’t install our controls in the summer months, but that’s human nature. If you are like everyone else and feeling the pinch of this winter, it’s not too late to get a Heat-Timer® into your building and put it to work for you. With our wireless sensors installation is a snap.

A Look At Commercial Heating in 2023

The US HVAC systems market size was valued at $16.54 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2022 to 2030. That’s some big bucks and complementary factors such as population growth and a growing real estate market will only serve to drive these costs to the upper end of the range. 

In the northern areas of the country, heating is the big H in HVAC and as energy costs and electricity demands continue to increase, the market for efficient heating equipment is set to grow and innovate at an even faster rate.

Heat-Timer® has its finger on the pulse of trends and initiatives in the heating industry for sure, monitoring initiatives across the country.  Initiatives like local law 97 in New York City and others will drive multi-family building owners to get their carbon footprint reduced or eliminated, or risk thousands of dollars in fines.  Here are some of the big trends we see for 2023.

Heating Equipment Efficiency Upgrades

Heating systems in multi-family buildings typically rely on boilers to deliver hot water or steam throughout the system.  Replacing these boilers can be a large expense and many of them have years of useful life left. 

Still, it’s a fact that boilers that are not ENERGY STAR certified, are 14% less efficient than those that are. Nationally that would amount to a savings of over $1 billion dollars a year and over 23 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emission that wouldn’t happen, equivalent to the yearly emissions of over 2 million cars. 

For building owners in this predicament, there’s always Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Controls. These internet capable controls connect to Steam or Hot water (hydronic) boilers old and new without the need for plumbing or major wiring upgrades.  Just putting an Internet capable Platinum Control with wireless space sensors in your building can save you up to 30% monthly on your heating bills and squeeze every bit of life out of that older boiler until you are ready to replace it.

Wireless Connectivity And Data

The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other wireless connectivity will enable HVAC software to better relay data on improving cost efficiency, sustainability, and operational readiness without a single trip to the boiler room. These solutions will allow commercial building managers to control and monitor various aspects of HVAC systems from a portable mobile device.  Again Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Controls were ahead of this curve, having provided internet and wireless remote sensor upgrades for the world’s best selling commercial heating control for years. 

Think of the Internet enabled Heat-Timer® control with wireless space sensors as a self-learning, out of the box energy management system.  It can identify areas where heating needs to be maximized and reduced, creating a more efficient way of controlling your system.  This increased monitoring and connectivity not only saves money, but allows for predictive alarm notifications, remote maintenance and improved repair times.

Use Of “Smart” Technology For Automation

Smart automation also means that systems can utilize data to analyze usage trends and performance statistics and identify errors before they happen. In addition, smart automation ensures that HVAC systems operate more efficiently, such as maintaining rooms at an optimal temperature.

Ultimately, smart automation reduces costs for commercial buildings by implementing energy-efficient consumption, reducing errors, and improving convenience and environment quality. Large establishments that experience significant activity, such as apartment complexes and buildings, will benefit from automated solutions like Heat-Timer®.

Final Thoughts On Commercial Heating Trends For 2023

As a whole, HVAC trends for 2023 are mostly centered around reducing fuel costs by increasing operational efficiency and sustainability. These are positive trends for the industry and the planet and are in line with global sustainability efforts. The introduction of IoT and more smart automation technology will also help reduce maintenance costs, increase automation and data driven improvement, while improving customer satisfaction and comfort.

At Heat-Timer® we are at the forefront of these initiatives. Providing the world’s most advanced heating control systems for both large and small buildings. (see Heat-Timer Genesis for small buildings)
