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! ,
At the Open House Exhibition in London in May 2010 EnOcean
Alliance member companies, such as Beckhoff, Distech Controls, EnOcean,
Leviton, MK Electric, Wago, Wieland and Thermokon, demonstrated a diverse
selection of energy-saving products ranging from occupancy sensors, key cards,
LED-dimmer systems, thermostats, window contacts and CO2 sensors. Furthermore,
the world's first solar energy-free ventilation application for schools was
showcased by Distech Controls. Visitors were offered practical advice from
member companies on how to simply and quickly save energy and carbon footprint
in existing and new buildings. During the event Nick Clark of
Client Support Services UK, Mark Davenport of Distech Controls and Graham
Martin of the EnOcean Alliance presented on the market opportunity for
intelligent automation technology, highlighting Barclays Bank, O2 Headquarters,
Scottish and Southern Energy (SEE), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) amongst the many
successful UK references. |

Canada: Winter
games go green with LED dimmers from ILLUMRA
School
 The new LED dimmers reduced energy consumption up to
75 percent on light poles installed for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. The
ILLUMRA LED dimmers were installed on outdoor LED light poles along a pathway
between venues at the Winter Games. LED street lamps use about 25 percent less
energy than conventional metal halide fixtures. ILLUMRA dimmers dramatically improve this
savings.

United
Kingdom: MK's Echo proves it's no sucker!
 Originally intended for lighting applications MK Electric's echo is finding itself
being pressed into service in other ways. The self-powered switch technology
has recently been harnessed to provide local switching for the central vacuum
system at the Aberdeen headquarters of Acergy, an offshore oil and gas
engineering company.

Brazil:
Light management with OSRAM and EnOcean
 Vivo, Brazil's biggest
cellphone vendor, is working with batteryless wireless technology from EnOcean
in the first high-tech design and sales shop in São Paulo. For its new design
and sales shop in São Paulo, Telefonica affiliate Vivo looked about for a
sustainable light management system with low energy needs and simple to
operate. It opted for DALI Advanced, EASY Color Control from OSRAM plus
EnOcean-enabled handhelds from Eltako. More than 180 luminaires - LEDs for the
most part - are operated in 170 sqm of shop space with the DALI Advanced
controller. Control and programming of the lighting were contracted to ASP Automação.

France:
Office reshaped in record time - EnOcean plus WAGO solution controls lighting
at daily le Monde  The daily Le Monde recently renovated its 5,000 sqm of
office space, and contracted WAGO to
implement control and automation of the lighting. The company's solution
combined its Winsta connector system with EnOcean technology. The circumstances
defining the application were not at all simple because at Le Monde the
partitions between offices are shifted on average every two weeks. Depending on
what is going on in the world, editors, graphic artists and the like for a
changing focus or different topic are posted elsewhere or brought together in
newly formed teams. The constant, repeated reconfiguration of office space
meant that the solution for control of the lighting needed to be fast, flexible
and variable.

ILLUMRA: Energy-saving ILLUMRA wireless light sensor
ILLUMRA announced recently the release of a new
solar- powered light sensor that can run indefinitely on a few hours of light a
day. The new product, when used with other wireless devices, creates a daylight
harvesting solution that is both easy to install and use. The ILLUMRA light
sensor communicates to controls through the uncrowded 315 MHz band, saving
energy by lowering the output of artificial light when daylight is present in a
room. Customers can reduce energy consumption 20 to 60 percent, depending on
the devices used and the room configuration.

Unotech: The delight of the architect - probably the
smallest PIR-sensor in the market  Anybody in the business of
designing lighting systems comprising movement and presence sensors will have
heard the architect exclaiming: Surely there must exist a sensor smaller than
that. Unotech has tried to solve that
problem by creating a PIR sensor only 23 mm across - less than 1 inch.

PEHA: Easyclick radio controlled system news
 A remote control with
battery is a novelty for the radio controlled system Easyclick by PEHA.
Until now all transmitters used to work without battery and maintenance
free. The battery less Easyclick
hotel card switch expands the functionality of the Easyclick system. The
Easyclick hotel card switch serves as safekeeping for the hotel card and
ensures a high degree of safety and energy saving. When removing the card the
power circuit is being switched off via an Easyclick receiver. When the hotel
card is being plugged in, the lights and other electrical consumers are
switched on via the hotel card switch.

Spoon2: EnOcean helps reduce kitchen fire risks  Just launched into the UK
and European markets, the Spoon2 Fire Suppression
System is the world's first commercial kitchen fire system to not only
extinguish oil fires, but prevent many of them happening in the first place. The
main risk in any commercial kitchen is the deep fat fryers, if these high
temperature pieces of equipment encounter a problem the oil will auto ignite at
a relatively low temperature, and this type of oil fire is notoriously
difficult to put out. Using capabilities of the EnOcean wireless system the
temperature of the high risk equipment in the kitchen is monitored and a range
of alarm levels provide early warning of heat build up so that in most cases
the equipment can be shut down before the fire even starts.

Spartan Peripheral Devices: Remote water shut-off  Being a leader in wireless
valve actuation, Spartan is
introducing the remote water shutdown kit. This kit allows having simplicity
and security in ensuring home stays dry and investment is preserved. The basic
kit is as simple as using a light switch and because it is wireless it can be
mounted anywhere inside the home. This can be near your door so that when you
leave all you do is press the switch "down" like turning off a light and the
valve will close. This switch can be addressed to the valve to be able to
control so that you never run the risk of leaving your home wondering if you
turned the water off or not.

White Paper: BACnet and EnOcean enable Energy
Efficient Buildings
When it comes to choosing a
facility's backbone for carrying building automation information, wired BACnet
bus systems have become a norm. However, wireless systems have been growing in
popularity since the arrival of energy-autonomous and service free wireless
components based on EnOcean technology. Practical experience shows that the two
technologies, side-by-side, exhibit advantages that maintain an ideal wired/wireless
balance - combining the strengths of both.

Circuit: Integrating EnOcean without compromise
 Systems use different
protocols and Physical Layers. For example, the EnOcean sensor, sends a
wireless RF telegram which will never be picked up by a projector in a
classroom for instance to warm up for the instructor presentation. Vice versa,
the projector infrared remote will not dim the EnOcean wireless light actuator
nor closes the shutter and curtain actuator. But there is a solution without
boundaries by Circuit.
