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
