EnOcean to unveil energy-harvesting motion and activity sensor at Light & Building 2024

At the forthcoming Light & Building 2024 event, EnOcean will unveil its updated EMDC energy-harvesting motion and activity sensor series, showcasing a significant advancement in smart building technologies. This innovative device, from a leader in energy harvesting wireless solutions, offers a groundbreaking approach to monitoring room occupancy, ambient light levels, and people activity using just one self-sufficient, wireless sensor.

Streamlined Data Acquisition for Room Booking, Lighting, and HVAC Automation The EMDC sensor family delivers critical data for monitoring room occupancy, light intensity, and human activity from a solitary, wireless, and maintenance-free unit, streamlining smart building implementations. With access to such data, lighting systems can be automated to adjust based on room usage and natural light availability. Similarly, HVAC systems can dynamically regulate heating, cooling, and ventilation in response to actual room occupancy, moving away from inefficient fixed schedules. This intelligent automation significantly boosts energy efficiency and eliminates the need for manual adjustments.

“EnOcean’s EMDC energy-harvesting motion and activity sensor sets a new standard in smart building innovation, offering a simplified yet effective solution for managing room occupancy, lighting levels, and activity monitoring. Its seamless compatibility with smart lighting, HVAC systems, and space management applications makes this sensor a pivotal tool for achieving sustainable and intelligent building operations,” said Matthias Kassner, Vice President of Product Marketing at EnOcean.

Effortless Space Management with a Maintenance-Free Sensor Beyond managing lighting, the sensor’s occupancy detection capability facilitates efficient use of workspaces and meeting rooms. It enables users to quickly find available rooms, streamlining scheduling and saving time. Additionally, cleaning and maintenance services can be optimised to match real usage patterns rather than sticking to rigid timetables, improving operational efficiency and user satisfaction. The sensor’s new feature of quantifying motion events provides valuable insights into the intensity of activity and space utilisation, enhancing understanding of how different areas within a building are used.

EnOcean, a leader in the field of wireless energy harvesting solutions, continues its commitment to sustainability with the latest EMDC sensor iteration. The device’s innovative blend of energy-harvesting technology and wireless functionality allows for effortless installation and hassle-free operation, making it perfectly suited for both new builds and retrofit projects.

Discover EnOcean at Light + Building During Light + Building 2024 in Frankfurt (3rd-8th March 2024), EnOcean will spotlight its energy-harvesting and IoT innovations, featuring prominently at the EnOcean Alliance booth D10 in hall 9.0.
