Canada: Room level and laboratory temperature control retrofit without disruption
The central temperature control system originally fitted to the new hospital facility did not allow for individual room and laboratory temperature monitoring and control. By nature, a hospital facility needs individual temperature control in areas dedicated to different tasks and occupied by patients or medical staff performing different functions, e.g. in a laboratory. A wireless system from Regulvar, employing EnOcean technology, replaced it without requiring structural work which would have necessarily closed down the facility for some time.

USA: Energy management in Perrysburg Junior High School
EnOcean and DimOnOff have joined forces to battle hiking energy consumption rates at Perrysburg Junior High School. The newly retrofitted system disposes of energy consuming products replacing them with more efficient ones along with wireless energy harvesting controls. The new system reduces energy usage by more than 50% and lighting quality will be throughout the gymnasium with the introduction of fluorescent fixtures. Using only existing wires, system integrators replaced the ailing single zone system and created eight scenarios of lighting designed exclusively according to the school's preferences. Retrofit installation barriers were overcame by DimOnOff's hybrid approach using energy harvesting and wireless attributes associated with EnOcean-based lighting controls.

Unotech: Make your light fixture wireless controlled using EnOcean technology
 By integrating the wireless receiver Rxe1/TH from Unotech into the light fixture a range of wireless and batteryfree pushes will allow you to continuously control the lighting, as well as turning it on and off. Dimensions of the Rxe1/TH correspond to an ordinary ballast unit and is thus quite easy to incorporate into the light fixture. Ballast types that lend themselves to this concept must be designed for control via momentary switches - designated switchdim. Leading manufacturers of electronic ballasts such as e.g. OSRAM, Helvar, Tridonic and Philips all supply ballasts well suited for this configuration.

Verve Wins 2009 Best Products Award from Builder News Magazine
 Whole House Lighting Control System from Verve Living Systems was awarded by Builder News Magazine as the Best Product 2009. The system uses the energy harvesting wireless technology from EnOcean. EnOcean created small wireless sensors that can collect and harvest the tiny amounts of energy. When Verve got a hold of the technology, it used it to create a wireless, energy harvesting, whole-house lighting control system that can control incandescent and compact fluorescent lights. The system turns the lights on and off and can dim them without having to wire the switches to the lighting sources, so the switches can be totally movable. The system is wired through controllers, which allow different lighting scenes to be set up and controlled through the click of a switch.
EnOcean Dolphin Modules - ideal for new solutions
 The new EnOcean Dolphin modules STM 300, TCM 300 and TCM 320 bring bidirectionally communicating wireless sensors and actuators to Dolphin system architecture, which can transmit information as well as receive it.
