Quebec, Canada, November 26th, 2008 – Distech
Controls awarded an Honorable Mention in the Green Building Category of the 2009
AHR Expo Innovation Awards Competition. Distech Controls obtained the special
recognition for its wireless battery-less solution coupled with its DDC
controllers.
Distech Controls' wireless battery-less solution offers multiple benefits for
building automation, from time and cost reduction at installation or retrofits,
to optimized tenant comfort. With wireless battery-less devices covering
temperature, humidity, occupancy and lighting and applications ranging from
office spaces to mechanical rooms, this wireless solution offers a truly viable
option for greener buildings. The wireless battery-less devices are powered by
different kinds of ambient energy, through energy harvesting, providing
ecological compatibility and eliminating batteries, also making these devices
virtually service-free. With wireless communication, the use of external wiring
and cable materials (copper, plastics etc.) is also eliminated and one is not
limited by materials for placement, allowing for quick and easy placement and
relocation.
“This solution demonstrates that new products in building automation can do more
than optimize control sequences to achieve greener buildings, and realize other
important objectives in green buildings such as the elimination of harmful
materials in our products, the diminished use of cabling and materials, as well
as the preservation of the building envelope ‘’ said Etienne Veilleux, President
and CEO of Distech Controls.
The AHR Expo Innovation Awards are given each year to recognize the most
innovative and useful products showcased at the AHR Expo in nine separate
categories: Building Automation, Cooling, Green Building, Heating, Indoor Air
Quality (IAQ), Refrigeration, Software, Tools, and Ventilation. Products are
judged on the basis on their design, creativity, energy efficiency, and value to
the HVAC&R Industry.
