August Updates: New Office, New Hires, And Making Waves In IoT

July was another big month for ecovent, and now that it’s August, it’s time for some updates. Here’s what’s kept us busy over the past few weeks.

Our New Office, 12 Channel St.

Last month, we announced we moved into new offices in Boston’s Innovation District. This month, we’re happy to share some images of our new digs. We take pride in where we work, so we put a lot of effort into making sure that 12 Channel Street is an awesome place to spend every morning, noon, and (sometimes) night.

Welcome To Our Latest Hire, Scott Sawyer

We are also extremely excited to welcome Scott Sawyer to the team. Scott is a distributed computing and data science expert. He’s worked at Lockheed Martin and MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. He’ll be helping us build amazing data analytics for your home.

Check out Scott’s C.V. and his Three Important Lessons for New Coders on his blog, 10 Flow.

Beta Systems Shipping Out This Month

We’ve had overwhelming interest in our beta program and are pleased to report that the program is now full.

We will be shipping out hardware to our test sites across the country by the end of the month. Here are Yoel and our intern Caleb, ready to send out a system.

Thank you to all our beta customers. We couldn’t do it without you, and we’re really excited to make your homes more comfortable!

Last month, the Boston Business Journal named us one of the leading Internet of Things companies in Massachusetts. We’re proud to be an IoT leader. Help us spread the word by retweeting this tweet or sharing our Facebook post. Thank you all for your support.

Meet Our Advisors: Ross Trethewey, Home HVAC Expert

Heating and cooling a home is harder than it looks, but some people make it seem easy. Ross Trethewey is one of those people. You may know him from his appearances on This Old House. We know him because he’s a member of our Board of Advisors.

We met Ross through techstars. He’s grown up in family of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) pros. His father is Richard Trethewey, who has been This Old House‘s resident HVAC and plumbing expert since the show’s debut in 1979. The family’s plumbing and heating business, Trethewey Bros. Inc. has served the Boston community since 1902, so it’s clear that the Tretheweys know home heating and cooling better than almost anyone.

Ross is continuing the family tradition with TE2 Engineering, a full service engineering design and consultation firm. Their projects are some of the most innovative and elegant you’ll find. Just check out this house in Chillmark or Ross’s Twitter feed if you want to be jealous of the amazing work he gets to do each day, making homes more comfortable.

When we met Ross, he immediately saw the value of ecovent, and he’s been advising us ever since. His customers are increasingly interested in adding sensors and wireless technology to their homes. That’s our passion and our mission. Ross is helping us achieve it, and we’re glad to have him on our board.

If you’re an HVAC expert like Ross, connect with us by signing up for our mailing list, or drop us a line at [email protected].
