Network Thermostat’s patent-pending integrated UV-C controls using thermostats is a game-changer, allowing the proper dosages of UV-C to provide coil cleaning and room air disinfection through HVAC equipment and also stand-alone in-room products. NetX provides an easy setup for UV-C control via three methods; the NetX embedded web server in every NetX X7 Wi-Fi or Ethernet thermostat, the NetX-Cloud environment, and for systems integrators using the NetX native API. With Network Thermostat’s proprietary UV-C control algorithms, UV-C lamps can last up to 450% longer than typical control methods. Light Progress USA’s commercial-grade UV-C applications provide up to 18,000 hours of lamp use, and with the NetX controls, that can mean only replacing a lamp in typical applications about every half-decade.
