ZigBee Building Automation Benefits  

INTEROPERABLE
  • Integrates control and monitoring devices for lighting, security, occupancy, motion detection and convenience
  • Enables existing building management systems to expand to include wireless sensors
  • Interoperability between a variety of building automation devices with building management systems regardless of manufacturer

AFFORDABLE

  • Reduces lifecycle costs - Interior spaces that are reconfigured frequently such as commercial office or retail can realize significant savings over the facility's life cycle because rewiring costs are avoided
  • Reduces retrofitting cost by eliminating need for expensive new wiring and modifications to buildings
  • Reduces integration cost into existing systems through the use of ZigBee Gateways
  • Open standard supports competitive marketplace of multiple products that lowers cost through shared components
  • BACnet tunneling cluster allows for seamless integration into existing building management systems

EASIER TO INSTALL THAN WIRED NETWORKS

  • Support for preconfigured OEM products, "bolt up and power on" solutions
  • No wires to pull, meaning less disruption to facility tenants and occupants
  • Costs are further reduced by eliminating expensive conduit/cabling runs

BETTER TENANT COMFORT

  • Sensors can easily be moved within a control zone for better sensing of temperature, C02, light levels and humidity
  • Sensors can easily be added to provide average readings from multiple points within zones for better control and tenant occupancy control

RELIABLE

  • No single point of failure
  • Uses "mesh" technology that provides redundant paths of communication
  • No wire exists that can be cut and potentially cause a loss of a significant portion of the network

GREAT SOLUTION FOR SENSITVE ENVIRONMENTS

  • Facilities such as hospitals, museums, labs, data centers often house materials that require precise and stable conditioning and remote monitoring
  • These spaces can also be controlled using wireless products, without intrusion or disruption.
  • Achieve precise environmental control and provide data management at the same time

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

  • Utilizes the newest wireless technologies available today.
  • Allows building owners to differentiate themselves from the competition.

WIRELESS IS A GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION

  • Fundamentally reduces required piping and/or electrical systems for LEED points in new construction and existing buildings
  • Reduces the use of expensive and energy-intensive manufacturing materials like copper
  • Reduces the use of plastics for insulation of wiring
  • Provides dramatic materials savings. For every 10 million wireless switches and sensors, saves:
    • 50,000 miles of cable
    • 3,000 tons copper
    • 7,100 tons PVC
