Covers how to reduce HVAC costs and maintenance with intelligent building technologies GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telkonet, Inc. (NYSE Amex: TKO), a Clean Technology company that develops and manufactures proprietary energy management and SmartGrid networking technology, announces that it is hosting a free-access, energy management Webinar for colleges and universities on Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Reflecting the Government drive to support energy efficiency projects, the Webinar will focus on occupancy-sensing technologies that reduce energy costs in dorms, classrooms, and portable buildings. Energy audits and retrofits in commercial buildings form a key component in the recently announced $3.2 billion investment program available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for energy efficiency projects, and a growing number of educational institutions are taking tangible steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and raise awareness of global warming. This includes signing up to the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). Featuring industry expert Pete van der Have and Telkonet's resident expert, Robert Zirpoli, Telkonet's Webinar will cover how occupancy-based technologies differ from other energy management systems, and how these systems take into account changing occupancy schedules to deliver significant energy savings without compromising occupant comfort, along with longer HVAC product life and reduced maintenance.
