Non-Invasive Retrofit Solutions for Enhancing the Environment of Care in Healthcare Facilities Expanding Markets and Increasing Competitiveness V-C
2
Identify joint opportunities for quick wins
Today’s Objectives Introduce Cypress Envirosystems Demonstrate how Cypress’s healthcare solutions can help Trane: Expand its addressable market Increase competitiveness and grow market share Realize immediate sales Identify joint opportunities for quick wins Which opportunities? Who are the relationship champions?

Who is Cypress Envirosystems?
Heritage Subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor (NASDAQ: CY) Quality-driven processes Deep technology experience: Cypress wireless devices are in 100 million devices all around us Sister company of SunPower Leadership CEO: Harry Sim, ex-Honeywell executive (15yrs.) Executive staff: Over 100 years of facilities and energy experience Mission Modernize existing facilities Develop technologies that cost 60-80% less than existing solutions Enable retrofits that install in minutes, avoid disruption, require little or no retraining Target payback of less than 18 months Cutting Edge Silicon Valley Technology Applied to Legacy Facilities

Solutions for Improving the Patient Experience, Reducing Risk, and Increasing Productivity
Typical Problems Non-Invasive Solutions Enhancing the Environment of Care Better patient experience Improve patient satisfaction surveys Records for Joint Commission Happier staff Avoid costly failures and downtime Improve O&M Save energy Pneumatic Thermostats WIRELESS PNEUMATIC THERMOSTAT “Go from Pneumatic to DDC in minutes” Laboratory Freezer Failures WIRELESS FREEZER MONITOR “Predicts and Avoids Costly Freezer Failure” Leaking Steam Traps WIRELESS STEAM TRAP MONITOR “Avoid Expensive Steam Leaks” Dial Gauges WIRELESS GAUGE READER “Remotely Read Gauges in minutes”

70% of Healthcare Facilities Still Have Pneumatic Thermostats
Waste energy, more maintenance, unhappy patients/staff… No Visibility, No Night Setback, No Zone Control, No Optimal Start/Stop, No Occupancy Override… High Cost to Retrofit to DDC Market rate of $2,000 - $3,000 per zone for traditional DDC retrofit DDC Retrofits are Disruptive Open Walls, Ceiling, Exposure to Asbestos Require infection control Typical Legacy Pneumatic Thermostats Retrofitting Existing Buildings is a PAIN IN THE NECK!!
6
The WPT enables zone control without disrupting patients
DDC retrofits require opening walls and running wire which drive up costs WPT retrofits can be done now instead of waiting years for major renovations The WPT provides benefits of DDC zone control 20-minute retrofit 80% lower cost Minimal disruption—no infection control needed Traditional DDC Retrofit is Invasive WPT Provides DDC Zone Control without Disruption Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Identify pneumatic thermostat type Remove thermostat and backplate Install WPT backplate to wall Attach pneumatic pipes to WPT Hang on wall and integrate with BAS

Case Study: St. Joseph’s Hospital, Phoenix, Arizona
Founded in 1895 by Sisters of Mercy, first hospital in Phoenix Part of Catholic Healthcare West 673-bed hospital, largest in Arizona Many legacy systems from several building phases spanning 60 years
8
80% Lower Cost, 5% of the Time vs. Conventional DDC
The WPT provides the benefits of DDC without the cost, disruption or invasiveness Noninvasive retrofit means no need for infection control and no disruption to patients The WPT provides: Remote visibility and control Diagnostic information Auto calibration Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat DDC WPT Cost $80,000-$100,000 $15,000 Project time 2-3 months 3 days Infection Control Required Not Needed Disruption Significant Minimal “We were in and out of the room in seven minutes.” -John Vigh, Parker Design & Construction

St. Joseph’s Realized Benefits
Payback: 18 months Patient satisfaction: Recorded fewer hot/cold calls Energy Savings: 12% energy savings Maintenance Cost Savings: Diagnostic data helped prioritize maintenance Faster troubleshooting time No calibrations “Patient satisfaction from better environmental/comfort controls had a positive effect on the patient experience.” -Walt Dubois, St. Joseph’s Hospital
10
The WPT provides the remote visibility needed to make maintenance easier, troubleshooting faster, and patients and staff happier Before retrofit: Legacy Pneumatic Thermostats After retrofit: Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat Operational Benefits Fewer trips to zones Faster remote troubleshooting Effective preventative maintenance and less firefighting Automatic calibration After Retrofit Patient Benefits Fewer patient/staff complaints Faster response to patient needs Improved patient comfort Focus on healing After Retrofit
11
The WPT Provides the Same Quantified Benefits as DDC
Estimated Savings Potential $635/year (per 1000 sq-ft) Upfront Retrofit Cost: $600 (per 1000 sq-ft) Payback Period: 11 months Note: All calculations based on 300,000 sq-ft retrofit project, $0.10 per kWh electricity rate, and $80 per hour maintenance labor rate. Energy Savings 18-30% reduction in HVAC use 2500 kWh per year / 1000 sq-ft $0.10/kWh Maintenance Savings 3-6 hours/year per 1000 sq-ft $80/hour Temp Setpoint Policy Retro Commis-sioning Night/ Weekend Setback & Occupancy Override 5-10% 600 kWh $60/yr Source: DOE2 eQUEST Modeling Duct Static Pressure & Supply Air Temp Reset 2-4% 300 kWh $30/yr Source: Trane Application Note Deadband Temp Policy 3-5% 400 kWh $30/yr Source: Cypress Modeling Automatic Calibration Faster Trouble- Shooting/ On-going Commissioning Reduced Complaints/Calls 10-15% 1200 kWh/yr $115/yr Source: Case Study 5 hours/yr $400/yr Source: Case Study
