REHAU forms strategic alliance with Climate Automation Systems
leesbuRg, Va. — ReHau has estab- lished a strategic alliance with Climate automation systems (Cas) to market the new, web-enabled ReHau smart Controls system. this advanced interior comfort control system will facilitate the integrated operation of residential building technologies, including radiant heating and cooling systems and solar and renewable energy sources, to pro- mote an optimal balance of comfort and energy efficiency. “our alliance with Cas will facil-
itate the next-generation operation of building technology solutions, pro- viding homeowners with greater con- trol over interior comfort as it relates to achieving more energy efficient systems operation,” said bill Jo- hansen, director of construction serv- ices at ReHau. “this is in alignment with our strategic focus toward pro- viding customers with sustainable
building technology solutions on an integrated, whole-systems level, and helping them to meet more aggres- sive energy saving goals both today and in the future.” the strategic alliance unites the
foundational engineering capabilities of ReHau with the climate automa- tion software development compe- tence of Cas, particularly with the company’s enV system. “the enV system is the first of its
kind to bring intelligent climate con- trol technologies, previously exclu- sive to large-scale commercial buildings, into the residential and mid-range commercial market,” said Ron antinori, Ceo and founder of Cas. “It balances all aspects of the home environment — from forced- air to radiant systems – and incorpo- rates real-time weather data, a statistical database and established
rules that create a better home cli- mate, while also reducing the impact on our earth’s environment.” the new ReHau smart Controls
system will enable real-time onsite or remote management and optimiza- tion of HVaC system functioning, in- cluding hot water heater, forced air and radiant systems, from any Web- enabled device. Working to achieve maximum energy efficiency, it will facilitate the ability to set distinct comfort settings for each controlled zone, while recording and reporting critical system information through an Internet-accessible database. the system is designed to interface
with weather service data and to auto- matically adjust settings in anticipation of predicted weather condition changes. It will also provide immediate system troubleshooting data to the homeowner and designated service contractors, ac- cessed through an easy-to-use online dashboard that enables quick, efficient diagnosis of potential issues.

INTRODUCING THE ACCELERA© 300 HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER: ACCELERATE YOUR SAVINGS!
Energy from nature. New!
The new Accelera® 300 can extract up to 80% of its energy requirements from the air around it. Heat pumps have been around for decades, but a heat pump water heater is a brand new concept. The Accelera® 300 works like an air conditioner - but instead of dumping the heat outdoors, it puts it into the water.
The Accelera’s compressor and fan
consume only 1 kWh of electricity to generate the heat equivalent of 3 – 5 kWh. The efficiency of the unit goes up with increasing ambient air
temperatures.
This ground breaking efficiency redefines what a water heater is capable of, and what savings can really mean !
