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!,
The EnOcean Alliance in the one year since it was founded by our promoters has grown to an organization with 100 members, and the technology has established itself as the leading wireless standard for sustainable buildings. There are still millions of energy-inefficient buildings out there, and we therefore have a massive opportunity and a huge task in front of us - thankfully now also being backed by various governmental programs and global initiatives. At the Lightfair in New York on May 5-7, the EnOcean technology will demonstrate that it has firmly established itself as the leading standard in wireless lighting control. Multiple companies will present their EnOcean-based interoperable solutions and case studies from some of the 100,000 buildings already successfully deployed with the energy-saving sustainable technology. Three of our members are also nominated for the prestige Innovation Awards: Leviton (Occupancy-Based Control Kit), Echoflex Solutions (SmartSpace Lighting Kit) and Illumra (LED Dimmer). For a closeup of the many possibilities of using the EnOcean technology you are welcome to visit us at booth no. 215.
Best regards,
Graham Martin
Chairman & CEO

United Kingdom: MK Electric's Echo leaves nary a mark on the Mond
The important Mond laboratory building at Cambridge University has become the first educational establishment in the UK to feature MK Electric's Echo range of self-powered, wireless and battery-less light switches. The Grade II rotunda-based building was designed in the early 1930s by architect HC Hughes as a laboratory for the Russian Nobel Prize winner Piotr Leonidovich Kapitza; and is one of the best examples of Modernist architecture in Cambridge. It notably features a plaque of nuclear physicist and building-sponsor Ernest Rutherford; and a crocodile carved into the external brickwork, both by the controversial Arts and Crafts sculptor Eric Gill.

Canada: School renovated - energy and costs saved
There are various reasons for renovating a building. Of course, a major reason is cutting the high cost of energy. Which explains why an increasing number of builders as well as owners and property managing companies have started thinking about renovation. Older buildings in particular are often veritable energy guzzlers because they have little or inadequate insulation. Renovating a building with a view to improving energy efficiency inevitably saves money in the long term. What is important is selecting the right system. At St. Joseph elementary school in Lacolle, Quebec (Canada), the decision makers opted for EnOcean technology and Regulvar for the room temperature sensing devices.

Switzerland: Intelligent living in one package
The Richiger family moved into their new home just over three years ago. While building was going on, they considered a number of different bus systems for the electrical installation before choosing a solution based on EnOcean technology. The entire inhouse automation is implemented with myHomeControl® visualization and control software.

 Thermokon EasySens - Switch Actuator for Heater Circuit Distributorr
The new actuator SRC-DO8 of Thermokon is designed for evaluation of wireless room sensors including control of up to 8 thermic actuators via 230 V switch contacts. For efficient energy saving a clock timer is integrated. Furthermore, it is possible to use the energy stop function by a seamless connection of a wireless window contact SRW01 or a wireless window handle SRG01, so that the receiver is switching-off the relay contacts for the valves in case the window is opened.

OSRAM: Dynamic lighting solutions made easy by flexible wireless control
Dynamic lighting solutions for RGB (red-green-blue) applications with LEDs or fluorescent lamps as well as daylight simulation with white fluorescent lamps of different color temperature are especially simple to implement with the EASY Color Control system from OSRAM. EASY Color Control enables variable driving of as many as 256 RGB channels and convenient setting of up to 16 light scenes by self-explanatory PC configuration software. Uninterrupted sequences can be created - from fast to slow - to match the application.

steute: Wireless Command Device
The type BF 72 RT command device recently introduced by steute looks like a conventional command device used in building automation and other industry, e. g. to open doors and flaps, to switch on fans or to start machines. However, there is one important difference: this command device does not need an external energy supply or a cable for signal transmission. Thus it can easily be mounted on any surface, irrespective of cable ducts and power sources. And if it has to be moved, this takes next to no time.

Probare: Putting EnOcean-based products through their paces
PRO 700 and PRO 900 are the names of test sets from Probare used for manufacturing inspection of products and wireless modules based on the EnOcean standard. This manufacturing inspection is the final link in a chain that ensures interoperability within the framework of the EnOcean standard - quality of wireless transmission and conformity with the particular EnOcean equipment profile (EEP).

 ISH 2009 - successful showing by EnOcean Alliance Energy efficiency was the major theme at this year's ISH - the world's leading trade fair for bathroom ideas, building, energy, air-conditioning and renewable energies - staged from March 10 through 14 in Frankfurt, Germany. The EnOcean Alliance attended, represented by several of its members at a joint booth. In addition to EnOcean itself, BootUp, BSC Computer, Distech Controls, HAUTAU, Omnio, PEHA and Thermokon were on hand with information about products and solutions enabled by EnOcean's self-powered wireless technology. The focal theme of energy efficiency was supported by products for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. Because the fundamental self-powered wireless technology developed by EnOcean also presents optimal ways to improve energy efficiency throughout the HVAC sector. Further information Thermokon EasySens - Transmitters and Receivers with 315 MHz frequency band From now on, the wireless sensors series SR04 and SR65 as well as the receivers SRC65-FTT and SRC65-RS485 (MODBUS/EVC) from Thermokon are available with 315MHz frequency band for use in the USA and Canada. The devices are approved by the US authority "Federal Communications Commission" (FCC) and the "Industry Canada" (IC) Further information  EnOcean goes YouTube
