By integrating solar power generation with an energy storage system and advanced energy management technology, Seiko Electric reduced primary energy consumption by 58%. The company further optimized energy use by enhancing the building\u2019s insulation, utilizing natural energy sources, and implementing a highly efficient climate control system. As a result, the building achieved an overall energy savings of 57%. It earned the highest ratings from Japan\u2019s Building-Housing Energy-efficiency Labeling System (BELS) and the Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"919\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Success-Stories\/Bild2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Success-Stories\/Bild2.png 919w, https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Success-Stories\/Bild2-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Success-Stories\/Bild2-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Success-Stories\/Bild2-768x389.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EnOcean-Powered Smart Controls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To enhance efficiency and user comfort, the building features a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wago.com\/jp\/\">WAGO<\/a>-DALI lighting control system and task-based climate management. EnOcean-based wireless sensors and switches play a crucial role in this setup, enabling seamless automation and energy optimization. The sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions, ensuring real-time adjustments for maximum comfort and efficiency. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/en\/product-category\/kinetic-switches-finished-products\/\">EnOcean switches<\/a>, installed on every floor, provide users with convenient, battery-free control over lighting, air conditioning, and ventilation. Their integration prevents unnecessary energy waste by ensuring that devices automatically switch off when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Blueprint for the Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Net ZEB reference project, the Koga Engineering Building serves as a model for future office developments. It demonstrates how energy savings of 50% or more can be achieved through innovative building design and intelligent energy management. By leveraging wireless and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enocean.com\/en\/applications\/partnerships\/battery-free-products\/\">battery-free EnOcean solutions<\/a>, Seiko Electric not only enhances operational efficiency.
