Energy management systems for multi-unit dwellings

Cristal Controls redefines comfort and intelligent control with its LS-2000 energy management system

Energy-related costs can greatly affect a company's rentability. Demand peaks are responsible for a great part of your electricity bill increase. With Cristal Controls' LS-2000 energy management system, it is now possible to control and shed electric applications while maintaining the same level of comfort.

Energy management allows us to combine three basic functions for electrical heating appliances: regulation, programming, and load shedding. Prioritary tasks are always carried out and the ideal comfort level is maintained while consuming less electricity.

How does our energy management system work?

The simplest application of the LS-2000 system is to network extremely precise thermostats to control a building's heating functions.

The LS-2000 is a flexible and versatile system. First, you decide which electrical applications are of utmost importance. For a supermarket, these can include the operation of freezers and refrigerators. For a manufacturing company, it can consist of the power supply of the production line. The LS-2000 ensures that these applications have priority and that they receive sufficient power. In the event of a peak demand, the system will automatically and momentarily reduce the supply of less prioritary applications, such as water-heaters.

It is possible to include many control variables in a system. Indeed, we can vary the temperature setting according to external temperature. Moreover, it is possible to automatically decrease a room temperature when the rate of occupation is very low for a given time period, like appartment kitchens after midnight or hotel rooms during the day. Our LS-2000 system allows you to build different types of schedules for each zone to achieve more savings.

Cristal Controls' energy management systems provide you with :

Savings
Cristal Controls' system allows you to save 25% to 35% on your electricity bills. Moreover, load shedding decreases the utilization of electrical appliances and thus increases their life time.

Peak Control
Cristal Controls' LS-2000 energy management system controls peak demands and guarantees the respect of power consumption limits; you thus benefit from more advantageous off-peak rates.

Load Shedding
The LS-2000 energy management system performs load shedding when a threshold of power consumption is possibly reached, in order to maintain a stable temperature while controlling peaks.

Multiple Control Possibilities
Indeed, the LS-2000 allows you to control all your heating, ventilation, air conditionning, and lighting appliances, as well as your industrial heating processes, and more....

Our Watch Option, ideal partner for safety in retirement homes
We know that the safety of your residents is fundamental. This is why we have developed the Watch option, specially designed for retirement homes, which allows a person who is in difficulty to send an alarm signal. Since the same network is used for the thermostats and the Watch system, you combine savings and safety thanks to a unique and completely integrated system.

Integration of energy management and lighting control systems
A lighting control system can be integrated with Cristal Controls' LS-2000 energy management system. The compatibility between the two systems make it an ideal choice for the complete control of your building's electrical applications.
