Restaurant Equipment and Service Pros Pannell® Save Money with EcoView

Going Green/Corporate Social Responsibility

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When the Pannell® team was looking for the most cost effective Energy Management System to offer their clientele, they found the EcoView™ System by Advanced Telemetry.

Matt McClain has managed accounts for Pannell®, www.pannellinc.com, since 2002. Pannell® specializes in HVAC, Restaurant Equipment Sales and Service, as well as Energy Management for Restaurants, C Stores, Manufacturing, Server Rooms, Retail, Industrial and other mechanical throughout the Southeastern US.

McClain says, “When you look at commercial space there is no bigger energy user per square foot than a restaurant. The more efficient we are at anything the more the cost comes down. In an economic world where the cost of everything is rising while revenues are down we can show our customers how to become more efficient and improve their bottom line. This will increase the longevity of equipment while lowering their environmental impact.”

According to the Advanced Telemetry website, “EcoView Commercial transforms how electricity and other precious resources are conserved in business, resulting in considerable savings and a smaller carbon footprint. Controlled through a wireless touch panel or Web interface and completely independent of a utility company, the system helps business users understand, track and control how they are consuming resources. Commercial users can spot potential problems with HVAC and other resource-dependent mechanicals early on before costly failures occur.”

Gus Ezcurra, CEO of Advanced Telemetry, says “Quick service restaurants who use EcoView are realizing, on average, at least a 12 percent decrease per month in energy consumption, without compromising quality temperature control. Over the period of a year, this change can add up to quite significant savings, and for owners of multiple establishments, the benefits are even greater.”

Thru the years, McClain and Pannell® President Tim Hensley have seen first-hand the inner workings of hundreds of businesses and consequently, the large amount of energy waste and money loss for business owners. When Pannell® was looking for the best energy management system to offer for their customers, they chose EcoView™ Advanced Telemetry. McClain says, “Tim has an extensive background in the energy industry and my background is in telecommunications. Since EcoView is an energy management product that utilizes the internet to do so, it ended up being a perfect fit for us. EcoView is designed specifically for restaurants. We compared it to other energy management systems on the market, and found it to be the most cost effective solution, with the quickest ROI. EcoView is also easy to retrofit to existing restaurants, usually taking 2 Hours to install.”
