Pneumatic thermostats waste energy, negatively impact occupant comfort, and are difficult to maintain since they provide no visibility or remote control of HVAC zones. They are still in 70% of buildings because traditional rip-and-replace DDC retrofits are extremely expensive, invasive, and disruptive to occupants. Wireless pneumatic thermostats can reduce the cost of modernizing these HVAC controls by 60-80%, is non-invasive, and can be installed in minutes so occupants are not disrupted. With a payback of 2-3 years, these retrofits make it possible for older buildings to achieve similar performance as new buildings.
