LOUISVILLE, KY, November 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) Walk through most dorms at any given time and you'll find wide open windows and doors, and thermostats set to extremes. You can almost watch money fly out the window. When the occupants control the thermostat setting, what can you do? We offer a simple solution. A thermostat designed specifically for dormitory rooms and similar applications. The thermostat range has been factory preset to 68-78 degrees F. "This thermostat allows for energy savings by limiting the range, while maintaining a comfortable environment," states Greg McNary, General Manager of Air Distributors Company, Inc.
McNary added, "When you multiply these energy savings over several hundred dorm rooms, you can see the justification for changing. Cost savings will vary depending on the equipment, room conditions, etc., but by limiting the temperature range available to the occupants, the savings can be significant." A major university in the Midwest replaced 2000 thermostats with a limited range thermostat and recognized an immediate savings on their energy costs.
Specs:
- Non Programmable
- Manual Changeover
- Single Stage H/C or HP
- 24 VAC
- Range 68-78 Degrees F
- Range is Factory Preset (cannot be modified)
- No Batteries required
- 4 or 5 Wire Compatible
The plain appearance and simple operation of this energy saving thermostat won't draw unwanted attention from those that may want to tamper. The limited range thermostat is factory preset and cannot be altered in the field.

New York Increasing Penalties for Repeat DWI Offenders
2012-11-27
New York has long had some of the toughest drunk-driving laws in the country. Each year, the legislature seemingly passes new laws that make penalties even more severe.
