The EnOcean Alliance, together with supporting partners Distech Controls, EnOcean GmbH, Ivory Egg and PEHA, will demonstrate a broad range of EnOcean-based self-powered wireless products for intelligent building automation on stand C105 at M&E. The Building Services Event will take place from 7-8 October at London Olympia. Highlighting the energy-saving potential in buildings, displayed products will include a web based energy data logger, wireless enabled controllers, solar presence detector and plug-and-play developer kit for wireless sensor and actuator applications.
Distech Controls will display a fully integrated building automation solution from for open plan offices, central plant and air handling, terminal equipment control and many other applications. Distech Controls’programmable and application specific controllers are fitted with an EnOcean wireless receiver, allowing the data from the wireless, battery-less sensors and switches to be sent to an open LonWorks or EC-Net AX web-based, multi-protocol platform.
Alongside this, Ivory Egg will be showing the Synetica Energy DataStream web based energy management device. It uses EnOcean sensors and switches to collect, store and transmit energy meter and environmental data. Built in Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi connectivity provides high speed, real time access to meter data via the internet or corporate IT network. A GSM/GPRS option is also available for remote sites. The device has built-in energy profile graphs and assists with compliance of UK Building Regulations Part L.
Visitors to the stand will also see PEHA’s service-free and energy-autonomous SENSOLUX system enabled by EnOcean technology. The SENSOLUX solar presence detector enables control of demand-driven lighting and energy saving governed by the presence of users. The SENSOLUX detector obtains its energy from powerful indoor solar cells. It requires no wiring, no batteries, no maintenance and can be placed anywhere for optimum user requirements. Sustainable energy savings are possible by a simple configuration or retrofit.
EnOcean GmbH will be exhibiting its new EDK 300 Dolphin Developers Kit, which offers both plug-and-play features and allows the design of complex hardware and software for innovative self-powered devices based on EnOcean’s Dolphin platform. The key differentiator that sets Dolphin apart from other wireless system architectures is energy harvesting and the enablement of bidirectional wireless sensors and actuator applications for the first time.
In addition, in the M&E Sustainable Reality Seminar Series, taking place on Thursday 8th October, 10.30-11.00, Andreas Schneider, Executive VP and Founder of EnOcean GmbH, will present a case study entitled “Intelligent heating controls cuts energy costs”. An example will be given of how intelligent buildings can bring energy savings and waste reduction gains with exceptionally quick payback and minimum running costs.
Leading companies worldwide from the building sector collected to form the EnOcean Alliance and establish innovative automation solutions for sustainable building projects – and so to make buildings more energy-efficient, more flexible and lower in cost. The core technology of the Alliance is self-powered wireless technology from EnOcean for flexibly positioned and service-free sensor solutions. The EnOcean Alliance aims to standardise and internationalise EnOcean wireless technology, and is dedicated to creating interoperability between the products of OEM partners. More than 120 companies currently belong to the EnOcean Alliance. The headquarters of the non-profit organisation is located in San Ramon, California.
