Novar debuts energy management rental program for retailers

Cleveland Honeywell announced Tuesday a new rental program through its Novar division called FlexStart to help commercial national account customers benefit from smart-grid ready building controls and energy management systems technology.

With FlexStart, multi-site businesses rent -- rather than purchase -- Novar’s Opus family of smart-grid ready building controls and energy management systems (EMS) technology to gain immediate savings without having to make an upfront capital investment.

“With Novar’s FlexStart rental program, multi-site businesses can become cash-flow positive in month one,” said Dean Lindstrom, president, Novar. “We developed the FlexStart rental program to help customers improve operations and reduce their energy spend while enjoying flexible payment terms with no up-front capital investment.”

The FlexStart program is available for new installations and upgrades of existing building controls and energy management systems, which include HVAC, lighting and refrigeration systems.
