EnOcean Alliance – Ready for the next generation EPBD

martedì, 05 marzo 2019 by dnursanti

The amended EU building directive underscores the importance of building automation

San Ramon (USA)/Munich (Germany), March 5th, 2019 – The EU is getting serious and applying the thumbscrews. Buildings are supposed to be CO2-neutral by 2050, and this will already lead to a number of stricter requirements in the coming years. The main focus lies on strengthening building automation. Maintenance-free wireless sensor solutions for smart buildings based on the international EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-10) will help meet these requirements.

EPBD

The EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) establishes requirements for buildings, which are to be implemented by EU member states under their national laws. In Germany, for example, this is the most recent EnEV (Energy Conservation Regulation) and the GEG (Building Energy Act) currently in preparation. The latest EPBD amendment took effect on May 30, 2018. It requires the CO2-neutral operation of buildings by 2050, with interim goals set for 2030 and 2040. For example, greenhouse gas emissions are supposed to be cut by 40% over 1990 level as early as 2030.

This strict requirement is based on the view expressed in the EPBD that existing buildings in the EU are responsible for 36% of all CO2 emissions. Buildings thus play a key role in reaching the EU climate targets. The EPBD therefore requires the EU member states to establish guidelines, come up with measurable actions and provide subsidies. It also emphasizes that these measures apply to existing rental homes as well. The necessary legal and administrative regulations must be put into force by March 10, 2020.

Building automation is gaining ground

While the building shell and optimizing the building physics (insulation, heat bridges, etc.) tended to take center stage in recent years, the EPBD now explicitly focuses on technical installations and their regulation and control. It increases the importance of building automation and simultaneously imposes strict requirements. Maintenance-free wireless sensor solutions for smart buildings based on the international EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-10) will make a crucial contribution toward meeting these requirements.

“Installing self-regulating devices”: Control circuits require sensors. They have to be installed in the best places for recording the desired data. Radio-based and maintenance-free sensors can be used here systematically, flexibly and cost-neutrally over the long term.

“Logging the actual energy performance” of heating and air-conditioning systems: This can be done only with intensive monitoring. A closely meshed network of wired sensors would mean a great deal of effort for laying cables and for the physical and electrical mounting of the sensors. Radio-based sensors can be planned and installed much more easily.

“Smartness indicator”: Buildings need to become smart(er). The trend is toward recording far more measured values than before. To do this, sensor data supplies relevant information for IoT systems in real time. Even with the classic installation of pushbuttons, temperature sensors and motion detectors, chair sensors are already providing information on occupancy. Toilet stalls can be maintained and cleaned according to use, based on sensor data. Clear requirements on the type and position of these sensors do not yet exist. Flexibility and the ability to change locations are thus key criteria on the way to sustainably smart buildings.

Smart solutions for smart homes and intelligent buildings

“We are following EU energy policies very closely and welcome ways to strengthen building automation,” remarks Graham Martin, Chairman and CEO of the EnOcean Alliance. “This confirms that the approach we have been taking since 2008 is the right one. Our members offer an entire ecosystem of self-powered wireless sensor solutions. They know what the EPBD requirements mean with regard to building automation and completely energy-efficient operation and how to implement future-oriented system solutions based on the EnOcean wireless standard. The EnOcean Alliance is ready for EPBD.”

The EnOcean Alliance is a global network of more than 400 companies in the building sector. It develops innovative, maintenance-free wireless solutions for sustainable building automation based on the EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-10). More than one million buildings all over the world now have wireless networks of this type, making EnOcean the international reference technology when it comes to wireless standards for building automation.

The EnOcean ecosystem of self-powered wireless sensor solutions currently consists of 5,000 product variants that build on 1,500 basic products, with new ones being added all the time. Thanks to their standardized sensor profiles, the products can be combined with each other. These interoperable system solutions lower installation and maintenance costs and provide significant benefits when it comes to energy efficiency, security and comfort. The data obtained with the aid of self-powered wireless sensors can also be integrated into IoT solutions for the cloud, smartphones and tablets.

Self-powered wireless technology – the key for Ready2Services standard for smart buildings

giovedì, 19 luglio 2018 by admin_gutschik

The Ready2Services label was officially launched by the Smart Buildings Alliance in Paris (France) in June 2018, further supporting the development of intelligent buildings for smart cities. Self-powered wireless sensor solutions and the interoperable EnOcean ecosystem are key components in terms of enabling new innovative service models.

San Ramon, CA – July 19, 2018 – To enhance the energy performance of buildings and to drive digital transition in buildings forward, the Smart Buildings Alliance (SBA) officially launched their “Ready2Services” initiative in June 2018. The “Ready2Services” concept aims to evaluate the ability of buildings for multiple services, awarding buildings with a certain certification level whilst also creating the basis for implementing new service models. Self-powered wireless sensor solutions are a key component of this initiative. These maintenance-free solutions collect reliable data and can be flexibly expanded at any time, therefore further supporting the digitalization of buildings and enabling the implementation of innovative services. As interoperability and open standards are playing an essential role in the digitalization of buildings, the EnOcean Alliance with its broad ecosystem of interoperable devices using the EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X) is an essential element of the “Ready2Services” initiative. The “Ready2Services” approach will be presented at the Smart Buildings for Smart Cities Summer Universities (September 5-6, 2018, Lyon, France) hosted by SBA, EnOcean Alliance and French association for integrators FFD.

More and more companies in the housing industry are already laying the foundation for digital functions in their buildings. A basic network can serve as a foundation for additional smart functions. At the same time, new service models can be derived.

Ready2Services label for intelligent buildings

To drive digital transition in buildings forward, the Smart Buildings Alliance (SBA) in cooperation with Certivéa, a French certification body, presented the Ready2Services (R2S) label in Paris on June 26th. This new concept aims to evaluate the ability of buildings for multiple services. The Ready2Services approach is based on three layers including equipment and interfaces such as sensors; a network infrastructure such as gateways as well as services and applications e.g. cloud solutions. Each layer itself should be replaceable, therefore providing multi-vendor interoperability.

The certification process can be carried out in a real estate program during its design, implementation or operation phase. Depending on the rating, the project wins one of four certification levels, ranging from “base” to “three stars”. Twelve buildings have already successfully received this certificate including BNP Paribas Real Estate, Ivanhoé Cambridge and Allianz Real Estate. Additionally, the Bouygues Construction building was successfully awarded certification, including self-powered wireless solutions using the EnOcean wireless standard, demonstrating that maintenance-free solutions on the EnOcean wireless standard are a perfect fit for the Ready2Service concept.

Building operators can now offer new automated service options to their tenants, for example in the form of an energy flat rate or payments according to the room temperature level per square meter of heated area. Here, the service provider provides the smart infrastructure in various packages e.g. security and refinances the investment, for example, by the energy savings achieved. Tenants benefit from more safety and comfort as well as increased flexibility and cost savings.

Self-powered wireless IoT solutions enabling a new era of building automation

Networked devices form the basis of the Internet of Things. They process large volumes of sensor data to make our everyday lives easier, safer and more comfortable. EnOcean´s self-powered wireless sensors are the eyes and ears of the IoT, as they collect the required data to operate large numbers of IoT devices efficiently, without any need of a battery. EnOcean products use the energy harvesting principle, in which energy is obtained from the surroundings, to supply self-powered wireless sensor networks.

Self-powered wireless switches and sensors for maintenance-free applications optimized for building automation play a key role for supporting the digitalization of buildings and enabling innovative services by providing reliable sensor data. Only maintenance-free and flexible solutions, which can be adjusted or expanded as needed, can provide the basis for implementing various service models.

These self-powered wireless solutions are based on the EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X) introduced by the EnOcean Alliance on the sub 1 GHz band, which has proven to be a resounding success in building automation and smart homes, due to its high reliability and a radio range of up to 30 meters. In conjunction with intelligent IoT systems self-powered sensor solutions help optimize the utilization of buildings, create new service models and make buildings more flexible, more energy-efficient and altogether more cost-effective.

“The EnOcean Alliance is a pioneer in providing energy-efficient solutions and supporting the transition of smart to cognitive buildings. We offer a proven ecosystem of self-powered wireless sensors and field-proven solutions for every layer of the Ready2Services concept, providing maintenance-free solutions for decades. Therefore, the EnOcean self-powered wireless standard is the perfect fit for the Ready2Services standard for smart buildings”, says Graham Martin, CEO and Chairman, EnOcean Alliance.
