Information About EnOcean Alliance
The EnOcean Alliance is a consortium of companies dedicated to the advancement of self-powered interoperable wireless building control systems. Alliance innovations create interoperable standard solutions helping to make buildings more energy efficient, flexible and cost effective. For more information, visit the Web site at http://www.enocean-alliance.org.


Information About EnOcean Technology
EnOcean's simple yet intelligent, self-powered wireless switches and sensors are powered by energy drawn from movement, light or even changes in temperature rather than batteries. This harvested energy is used for transmitting sensor data within a building to control lighting, blinds, heating or air conditioning without the need for cabling. In addition to its eco-friendliness, the technology is easily installed and maintenance-free, ensuring unparalleled flexibility at the lowest investment and operational cost for sustainable buildings.

Greetings!,

Hardly has the AHR EXPO 2009 finished and the next important show is already upon us -- the world keynote exhibition Bathroom Experience, Building, Energy, Air-conditioning Technology, Renewable Energies (ISH). A number of members of the EnOcean Alliance are exhibiting here at a joint booth. In addition to EnOcean, BootUp, BSC Computer, Distech Controls, HAUTAU, Omnio, PEHA and Thermokon will be on the spot to inform visitors in full about the EnOcean standard and products enabled by self-powered wireless technology. We invite you to call by and see us -- in hall 10.2 at booth D10.


Best regards,

FrankGermany: EnOcean Technology in the world's most energy-efficient office building
The juwi Group is a leading developer of wind, solar and bio energy plant projects. Its newly built corporate headquarters in Wörrstadt, Rhine Hesse is considered to be the world's most energy-efficient office building. The building complex was awarded the German Climate Protection Prize 2008 of the German Environment Aid. The technoLink® system from Kieback&Peter, enabled by EnOcean technology, is implemented to ensure comfort and energy efficiency.

Switzerland: Simple building renovation with products from Omnio
FrankThe increasing price of energy has an immediate impact on the costs of operating an office building. As a rule you can even say that energy consumption accounts for half of the costs. Which is why you find more and more owners and users of commercial property searching for suitable solutions that will enable them to reduce such costs. The RATIO from Omnio wireless bus is a complete system for apartments, homes and commercial buildings that enables energy-efficient, flexible and sustainable electrical installation.

Canada: Whistler Olympic Athlete Village
FrankWhistler is the host mountain resort of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Cheakamus Crossing, a residential community located in Whistler, re-configured its walls to accommodate the athletes who will compete in the upcoming Olympic games. New walls were introduced into the town homes that converted living areas into bedrooms for the athletes. Where wired and alternative lighting solutions failed; EnOcean-enabled lighting controls from Echoflex Solutions shined.

Germany: Mobile Phone as general purpose remote control in building automation
FrankBSC Computer is a long-standing advocate of EnOcean wireless technology in the development of components for household automation - also when it came to automating its own corporate headquarters in Allendorf, north Hesse. The solution included window handles from HOPPE based on EnOcean wireless. The status of all sensors is visualized by BSC BoSe software on a touch panel and by a client at each workstation. BSC BoSe is also able to control all other devices, for example lights, the entire data processing installation and other loads such as coffee makers or copiers. Putting the controller PC on the internet means that all functions can be queried and controlled remotely, by SMS or e-mail.

Products and Technology
 
New environment-friendly products for room comfort by Siemens
FrankThanks to energy-efficient RF technology, solar cells can be used in place of batteries to power the new wireless room units from Siemens. Hence, the products offer energy-saving and environment-friendly room temperature control. The solar-powered room units QAX95.1 and QAX96.1 from Siemens Building Technologies support weather and room-compensated temperature control in buildings. They acquire the room temperature and transmit the data to the room controller via RF by making use of energy-efficient EnOcean technology

Saving time and money with the new energy-autonomous PIR-sensor and wireless receiver from Servodan
FrankWorldwide the focus is set on energy-savings and reduction in carbon footprint. Thus, energy-efficient solutions are strongly requested by industry as well as government organizations. The new, entirely energy-autonomous PIR movement sensor and receiver are connected by wireless EnOcean technology -- supplementing the range of highly energy efficient solutions, supplied by Servodan. The result is highly energy-efficient lighting control and an entirely maintenance-free application, which will control the lighting for years to come.

AHR Expo 2009: Thermokon Wins LonMark Award 2008
FrankThe obvious advantages of the wireless LON receiver convinced the LonMark committee at the AHR Expo 2009 in Chicago. Thus, this new development received the LonMark Award 2008 Infrastructure. Mr. Ron Bernstein from LonMark International presented the attractive price to Mr. Frank Neudecker, Export Manager of Thermokon Sensortechnik GmbH. The wireless EasySens LON receiver is a true solution for "Green Buildings" as it is powered by ambient energy. Thanks to this natural energy harvesting batteries are eliminated, cable and wiring materials are minimized and the fire risk is reduced
