This paper describes the application of web-based wireless technology for control of electric heating in a
large multifamily housing complex. The control system architecture and components are described. A
web-based application enables remote monitoring of temperature, electric usage and control of peak
demand through a temperature-based duty-cycling algorithm developed specifically for the application.
Installed costs and energy savings are discussed. A 16% energy-use reduction was confirmed through the
first heating season of operation. The response of occupants and management to changes in temperature
regime has been a critical aspect of system start-up and commissioning
