Munich - global hub of energy harvesting

The Munich based EnOcean GmbH has through the EnOcean Alliance, put "no wires, no batteries, no hassle" building controls into over 100,000 buildings with rapid paybacks and huge environmental benefits. For example Torre Cristal, Madrid, Spain became the world's tallest building with a wireless sensor networking building automation system. This new construction of 52 floors has 1,200 battery-less wireless modules connected to an EIB/KNX building automation system. Savings include 40% lighting energy costs, 33 kilometers of cable and 80% cost of retrofitting. EnOcean is a spin off of Munich electrical giant Siemens, which also participated in this project.

At the conference, Mr Armin Anders, Co-Founder & Vice President of Product Marketing for EnOcean GmbH, Germany will speak on EnOcean - Integrated Approach for Energy Harvesting Wireless covering how energy harvesting wireless sensors are in mass production. He will explain how the World's first system-on-chip enables self-powered 2-way communication and will also cover realization of self-powered wireless actuators.
