Sustainable buildings are the key to a substantial reduction in energy consumption. Service-free and self-powered wireless switches and wireless sensors make cabling very much simpler. Wireless technology means that the ceiling installation can be considered separately from the wall installation. So there are no limits to flexible room arrangement.

Challenge

When the construction of a building starts, its final use is often not clarified down to the last detail, which makes flexibility important
Cabling a building takes a lot of advance thought and planning
Subsequent changes in room arrangement call for further planning and installation work
Design aspects, e.g. glass walls
Optimal positioning of sensors
Integration in existing building automation systems
Combination of different system components

Applications "Enabled by EnOcean"

Benefits at a glance

Flexibility: no cabling, simple fitting and removal, e.g. switches on glass, stone, wood and furniture
Interoperability: straightforward combination of products from a variety of manufacturers and for a wide selection of applications
Simple planning of complex and flexible systems: optimal sensor positioning even for changing conditions of use
Cost savings in installation, maintenance, renovation and energy use
Large-scale energy savings: through temperature regulation in single rooms, wireless window contacts or lighting control on demand
Environmentally friendly: far less cable material (copper, sheaths, etc)

Interoperability: straightforward combination of products from a variety of manufacturers and for a wide selection of applications
Compatibility with other building automation systems
Time-savings: planning is speeded up, fast fitting, integration, configuration
Scalability of the building system ensures a sustained building structure
Service-free wireless sensors: no batteries needed, so no replacement and disposal worries
Reduced risks through less fire load
Subsequent fitting of wireless sensors in preservation listed buildings
Little noise, dust and dirt
