Industry consortium is poised to unveil the latest developments in its self-powered wireless interoperability standard; latest products built on EnOcean technology will be on display
The EnOcean Alliance, an international consortium of 120 companies from the building sector, will announce a major milestone in the development of its interoperable, self-powered wireless technology standard. The announcement will be made at the EnOcean Alliance booth (5125) at Greenbuild, to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, from November 11-13, 2009. At this booth EnOcean Alliance, together with supporting partners Leviton Manufacturing Co. Inc., EnOcean Inc., Echoflex Solutions Inc., Douglas Lighting and Illumra, will demonstrate a broad range of EnOcean-based products for building automation. Many other EnOcean Alliance member companies will be on hand at the show to discuss the standard and exhibit their latest products designed for intelligent building automation and energy conservation.
All of these companies use EnOcean technology in their products. EnOcean's self-powered maintenance-free wireless control systems are powered through energy drawn from movement, light or changes in temperature rather than electricity or batteries. The technology adds unmatched flexibility with lower investment and operational costs for sustainable buildings.
Several EnOcean Alliance promoter organizations will be exhibiting at the show
- Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.--booth 3954--will showcase over 30 self-powered wireless products using EnOcean technology. Wireless controls are part of Leviton's complete energy-management and lighting control solution for all commercial applications.
- Verve Living Systems (Masco Corp.)--booth 5133--will exhibit an energy-harvesting, radio frequency-based residential lighting control system that allows homeowners to control all the lights in the home from a series of self-powering switches.
- EnOcean, Inc.--booth 5125--will exhibit building energy-management solutions based on its new Dolphin system platform, EnOcean's third-generation energy-harvesting radio technology. Interactive hands-on demonstrations, highlighting wireless controls manufactured by multiple EnOcean Alliance members, will illustrate transformational means of integrating automated lighting and HVAC solutions.
