KENNESAW, Ga., Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial
building operators are busy and managing a number of competing
priorities. To make their lives easier and increase their
building's energy-efficiency, Carrier is pleased to announce the
release of the Carrier® Connect™ Wi-Fi thermostat for
commercial buildings. The new, sleek touch-screen thermostat allows
for control of a building's heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning (HVAC) system from anywhere in the world - from
within their facility, or via smartphone, tablet or computer.
Carrier, a world leader in high-technology heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning solutions, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls
& Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:
UTX).
The Carrier Connect thermostat is easy to install and

it compatible with most commercial HVAC systems;
- Flexible, 7-day scheduling via the Connect app or web
portal;
- Fan and humidity control for enhanced occupant comfort;
