Collabworx (www.collabworx.com) and SenSyr (www.sensyr.com) accepted the TAD (Technology Application and Demonstration) award by U.S. Congressman Dan Maffei on July 20, 2009 at The Tech Garden. The TAD award is funded by the EPA through the Syracuse Center of Excellence (www.syracusecoe.org). The project is “Open Web Services-based Indoor Climate Control System, Phase III” and principally concerns the actual implementation of the technology in laboratories and buildings. This included a number of extensions to the technology; however, these are rather modest, as the existing system is already quite advanced. The project now focuses on deployment and on application development, and addresses energy conservation and air quality in buildings while maintaining individualized comfort levels that improve employee efficiency and productivity.
