Smart Systems Technologies created the em·power system to be the first affordable and practical solution for light commercial applications. em·power incorporates Interactive Energy Management, expanded HVAC and security control features that increase the strength, appeal and necessity to empower light commercial applications such as offices, restaurants and other small-to-medium size buildings.
Smart Systems Technologies believes its products compare very competitively with existing systems and software marketed to light commercial applications, at a much lower cost. Few, if any, competitors offer fully integrated systems for security, lighting, energy management and appliance control; offering instead one or two control solutions that require a full-time PC for operation and greatly delay the return on investment. Below, see the many benefits the em·power system has to offer your place of business.

em·power Commercial Benefits

Safety
Among its many control benefits, the em·power system features an integrated, state-of-the-art security system that interacts directly with energy management and lighting features. For example, when closing an em·power equipped store at night, the assistant manager simply touches a ‘Smart Key’ to the Key Reader to lock the doors, arm the built-in security system and trigger em·power to perform additional tasks, including, but not limited to:
• Turn off all unnecessary lights, appliances and other devices that may be commonly left on, maximizing energy management and property protection.
• Activate Hi-Lo temperature sensors in the walk-in coolers and freezers, which constantly monitor current temperature to maintain optimum operational range. If the temperature drifts out of range, em·power will call and warn maintenance of a problem.
• In the event that an employee forgets to arm em·power when they leave, the same operation can be triggered automatically at a preset time or remotely by an authorized user via the interactive phone menu.

Energy
The em·power system can save significant sums of money by allowing your business to always operate in energy efficient modes without sacrificing comfort. Energy saving features of em·power include:
• Each touchscreen incorporates a built-in thermostat for complete HVAC control; including programmable set point scheduling and automatic setback when the last employee leaves. Additionally, em·power is equipped with an access-protected voice menu for making adjustments either through an internal phone or via remote call-in.
• Controlled lights & appliances can be configured to automatically save energy at night and during periods of no occupancy.
• The temperature of the building can be monitored to prevent the heating and cooling system from being misused and also utilize different set points at different times of the day. Example: 78° overnight and early AM and 73° during the active day.

Workstyle (Your lifestyle at work)
The em·power can help increase the efficiency and convenience of your business operations. Some sample scenarios include:
• Are there fewer walk-ins from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm? em·power can increase the air-conditioning set points to automatically adapt.
• Should the exterior signage be turned on at sunset everyday? em·power will turn on all proper signage precisely at sunset, every day throughout the year.
• Are there different lighting schemes for daylight and nighttime hours? Through
em·power they can be activated with the touch of a button, or triggered by any number of events (e.g. sunset, time of day, occupancy, etc.)
• Are there certain tasks that must be completed daily? em·power will remind specific employees about specific tasks as you desire.
• Is the phone hard to hear in a loud, high traffic area? em·power can flash a light to notify you of an incoming call or a visitor at a back door.
