installation of a medical ofce,” explained Mike. “This
particular client is a chiropractor whose ofces are open 5
hours a day, 4 days a week. Because it would take so long for
equipment to power up in the morning, they needed to leave
everything on 24-7. Equipment such as spinal decompression
machines, X-Ray machines, and large video panels consume
a tremendous amount of electricity even while not in use. By
using BlueBOLT’s scheduled conservation features to power
equipment down during off hours and bringing it back online
an hour before the ofces open - along with implementing
some best practices in shutting down computers and ancillary
equipment around the ofce - we have been able to realize
signicant energy savings without disrupting workow. In
fact, this client is now paying nearly $1000 less to their utility
bill every single month.”
With BlueBOLT, the integrator was able to install a system
that paid for itself in a matter of months, shows continued
ROI, and reduces the business’ impact on the environment.
Case Study 3: BlueBOLT® Brings The Cloud To Aspen
(Reprinted from Residential Systems, April 2011)
Clients: Residential homeowners, Colorado
Integrator: Paragon Technology Group
At winter resort towns
high in the Colorado
mountains, homes are
often unoccupied for
several months of the
year. And it might
happen that an owner
leaves without turning
off energy-sapping
devices or discovers
that a modem-based
monitoring system has
failed because of a
temporary brownout.
Reacting to such needs,
Paragon Technology
Group, an Aspen-based electronic systems integrator, has
installed a number of systems using the new cloud-based
Furman BlueBOLT power-management and monitoring
system.
“One of the main reasons we needed a solution like BlueBOLT
is because houses here are often vacant for extended periods
of time,” said Paragon CTO Evan Marty. “We want to allow
our clients to easily turn off non-essential loads in their houses
while they are away. Using BlueBOLT in conjunction with a
control processor, we enable clients to shut down systems
from within the house, as well as from an iPhone or via the
web. Turning off equipment for long periods of time can save
on both equipment and electricity.” Marty said that Paragon
chose BlueBOLT because its web hosting is handled off-site,
which allows his rm or the client to interact with the devices
without punching holes in rewalls or worrying about their
network security. “All connections via The Cloud are protected,
and we can develop lower-tier access for customers that
want to cloak or restrict certain functions, for example, from
guests. The ability to interface these devices via IP or RS-232
connections is a denite advantage.” In addition to its Aspen
showroom, Paragon operates regional ofces in Denver and
three other Colorado locations, as well as Nashville, so it
knows rst-hand about remote communication needs.
Home entertainment systems are more sophisticated and
connected than ever before and with this complexity comes a
higher chance for electronic lockups, freezes, and crashes. All
too often, the only x is to unplug the unit from the wall and
plug it back in (aka the “hard reboot.”) “Electronics plugged
into a BlueBOLT-enabled component can easily be rebooted
through its Cloud-based user interface from any web-enabled
device located anywhere in the world,” Marty noted. “Our
rst clients are very happy with their BlueBOLT systems,” said
Paragon Technology Group’s Marty.
“We are able to monitor and power down equipment when
their home is unoccupied. Utility-bill savings will realize a
return on investment, along with prolonged equipment life. It’s
a win-win situation all round.”
