EnOcean Alliance Technology May Hold the Answers to the Future of Building “Green” Buildings
Posted By admin on February 21, 2011
First came wires, then came wireless. Now, thanks to the combined effort of the EnOcean Alliance’s member businesses, we are on the brink of seeing a new technologies emerge which has the prospective to drastically alter the way we power our electronic devices.
EnOcean Alliance technology is said to not only improve overall energy efficiency but also minimize the require for batteries as a power supply. EnOcean Alliance solutions harness the energy that is produced from slight changes in motion, pressure, light, temperature and vibration. In essence, they are harnessing the energy from sources all around us that are already emitting natural forms of energy. They are able to do this via advanced sensory as well as EnOcean’s patented energy harvesting and radio-frequency technologies.
EnOcean Alliance has developed sensors that can work together and monitor a variety of diverse issues in a buildings habitat. They can control every thing from the heating and air-conditioning units to a simple light switch. The sensors can tell when a window is opened and can be programmed to automatically shut off the heating and cooling systems until it is closed again. With motion detectors, lights can be switched off automatically when there is no one left in the room.
In Las Vegas, from May possibly 12th-14th EnOcean Alliance members will be presenting their new technology and groundbreaking newest innovative goods at the Lightfair International 2010. They will be set up at Booth 2027, and the corporations involved are said to be: EnOcean Inc., Echoflex Solutions, Verve Living Systems, BSC-Magnum, Illumara, Leviton and Dimonoff.
The essential notion behind the EnOcean Alliance technology is built around EnOcean’s patented energy harvesting and radio-frequency technology of which successfully makes it possible for for the self-powered, or battery-less, wireless operation of devices by means of the flexible positioning of maintenance-free sensors.
EnOcean enabled wireless networks have already been installed in over 100,000 building, which makes them the leader in the application of wireless constructing automation standards worldwide. Without having to worry about the placement of additional wires when creating houses, offices or even skyscrapers there would be far more room for customizability in the design as well as a seriously reduced risk of electrical fires.
Buildings use close to 40% of our total energy requirements. With sensors strategically installed all around any given creating, energy efficiency and overall consumption could potentially be dramatically decreased.
With EnOcean Alliance’s new wireless, battery-less technology the rewards include:
Greater design customizability in the construction of new buildings
Less raw material used in the course of construction
Less energy consumed during operation
Less cost in general maintenance
Substantial savings in powering devices that would generally require batteriesComplete flexibility and maneuverability with electronic devices
EnOcean Alliance’s underlining objective is to be able to present a universal wireless technologies that can be interoperable between all of the products that are produced by the Alliance’s OEM partners.
EnOcean Alliance’s main mission statement:
“Our mission is to promote and allow intelligent green buildings by way of creation of a broad range of interoperable standards based wireless merchandise.”
EnOcean Alliance’s vision:
“Our vision is to create a far better, safer, price & energy effective environmentally friendlier world by way of intelligent self-powered wireless sensor systems.”
The EnOcean Alliance currently consists of 150 international companies that are all brought together with a common interest supplying a standardized universal wireless power answer for buildings worldwide. With the capability to manipulate energy in such an innovative fashion the future of all energy production may be beginning to be revolutionized.
