TIME TO ACT:
Save 20% or more on HVAC. It’s important now more than ever for a sustainable future!
Optimizing PTAC units with a “smart” device is a fast, easy, and cost-effective way to achieve Commercial HVAC Energy Savings. A Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system commonly found in: Hotels, Motels, Senior Housing Facilities, Hospitals, Condominiums, Apartment Buildings, and Add-on Rooms & Sunrooms.
Business owners and homeowners face increasing challenges with energy costs to save energy and money in Rhode Island. PTAC Energy Saver offers an Adaptive Climate Controller (ACC). It is a proven HVAC energy saving device that quickly installs on PTAC units. There are many companies that claim to produce energy savings, but the ACC device is multi-panted and proven over many years. Plus, it has extensive validation tests by organizations such as:
- ConEdison, Manhattan Plaza New York City
- Environmental Test Laboratory, Ohio
- EME Consulting Engineers (Third Party), Sponsored by NYSERDA, New York
- State University of New York, Oneonta, NY
- Tim Garrison (Third Party Testing)
- McQuay Cooling Tests
- Purdue University Tests (Phoenix)
- ConEdison Tests by ERS
Typically, when an HVAC system turns off, shortly after, the blower fan motor turns off. The ACC reprograms the blower fan not to shut off but to throttle back the rpm airflow to an exceptionally low speed, quiescent level airflow or “idle speed”. This allows for a gentle but continuous air movement into the building that helps keep equilibrium of climate conditions in the occupied space and saved energy.

Here is an example of some Commercial HVAC Energy Saving info for Rhode Island:
Leveraging Prior Efficiency Investments
CHALLENGE:
Green Line Apothecary invested nearly $350,000 in energy-saving upgrades at their Providence location, including LED lighting, spray-foam insulation, and high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Rather than leave that capital tied up in the building, Green Line sought a way to leverage those funds to support continued growth of their business.
SOLUTION:
$327,000 loan via the C-PACE program. Rhode Island C-PACE affords building owners the opportunity to leverage energy efficiency and clean energy measures installed any time after July 2015.
RESULTS:
“At Green Line Apothecary, we are not just green in name only. Our modern version of the neighborhood drugstore means being engaged and responsible members of the communities we serve,” said Ken Procaccianti, President & Chief Operating Officer of Green Line Apothecary. “And practicing environmental sustainability is a crucial part to being a community steward. Green Line now serves Rhode Island statewide and looks forward to working again.”
