PRES Energy Partners with Pritchett Controls and InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance Members for Energy Management System Solutions
Beltsville, Md. — Nov. 19, 2014 — PRES Energy, a national real estate services company, has partnered with InsideIQ Building Automation Alliance member Pritchett Controls for the delivery of energy management system (EMS) solutions for PRES Energy customers nationwide.
Pritchett will rely on other members of InsideIQ, an international alliance of independent building automation contractors, to provide local support to PRES Energy customers.
PRES Energy decided to work with a partner for the delivery of EMS solutions in order to provide a consistent product from one customer site to another. The company selected Pritchett Controls, a systems integration and control technology provider, based on their EMS expertise and membership in InsideIQ. Pritchett Controls will provide systems integration with HVAC equipment and on-site power generation as well as the deployment of energy optimization measures and regulatory compliance strategies.
Pritchett has developed a consistent graphical user interface to be used at each site. Additionally, Pritchett provides control system design and develops programming logic for the execution of the energy optimization strategies. Pritchett Controls partners with a local InsideIQ member firm for the installation and commissioning of each system installation. The local InsideIQ member also provides on-going support after the installation is complete.
“A key consideration in planning to support PRES Energy’s business requirements was identifying how we could deploy our solutions effectively and provide timely service on a national basis. Our membership in InsideIQ provided us with a perfect platform to be able to do this,” said Pete Ewart, vice president business development, Pritchett Controls. “To date, we’ve installed systems in over a dozen locations including Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey working in close coordination with the local InsideIQ partner in each of those areas.”
“PRES Energy works with clients on a national basis in the delivery of energy efficiency and other facility related design build projects,” said Rob Moyer, president, PRES Energy. “In order to consistently deliver high quality results for our key clients, we made a conscious decision to partner with Pritchett Controls. Based upon their expertise, reputation, and commitment to service, we trust Pritchett for the delivery of systems integration and energy management strategies. By teaming with Pritchett, we are able to deliver a consistent user interface and a well-tested set of energy optimization strategies that work for our clients, all of which can be quickly deployed.”
