MYTEMP® WINS POPULAR SCIENCE’S BEST OF WHAT’S NEW AWARD.
Home Comfort Zones, Inc., developer and
manufacturer of the MyTemp temperature control and energy management system, confirmed
that the editors of Popular Science have named MyTemp one of the top 100 technological
innovations of the year. MyTemp received a 2008 Best of What’s New Award in the Home
Technology category and is featured in the magazine's December issue hitting newsstands on
November 13, 2008.
MyTemp delivers both improved comfort and energy savings capability by providing room-byroom
temperature control for residential forced-air HVAC systems. It saves energy by
conditioning occupied rooms only as much as needed and by reducing conditioning in
unoccupied rooms. The system is unique because it monitors the temperature in every room and
individually controls the airflow to every vent. MyTemp can be easily installed into most existing
homes without changing the HVAC system. The energy savings features of the MyTemp System
provides the controls needed for homeowners to reduce their heating and cooling energy
consumption by up to 40 percent.
"Everyone at Home Comfort Zones is very excited to be recognized by Popular Science as a
company that is revolutionizing residential temperature control," said Hal Alles, Founder and
Chief Technology Officer. "We appreciate the editors' recognition of MyTemp's significant
advancements in comfort and energy management. This award reaffirms the hard work of our
employees, partners and investors and signifies that room-by-room temperature control is ready
for widespread adoption.”
“For 21 years, Popular Science’s Best of What's New awards honor the innovations that make a
positive impact on life today and change our views of the future,” says Mark Jannot, Editor-in-
Chief of Popular Science. “PopSci’s editors evaluate thousands of products each year to develop
this thoughtful list, there’s no higher accolade Popular Science can give.”
