BOSTON—EnOcean announced a fundamental commitment to protect the environment by becoming an Energy Star partner. EnOcean, through its voluntary partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program, is helping to sustain green initiatives by fitting energy-inefficient buildings with self-powered wireless controls. EnOcean’s energy harvesting and wireless technologies simplify the installation of the energy-stingy wireless controls (sensors, switches, gateways and actuators) by replacing wires and batteries with self-powered wireless links.
“The Energy Star partnership clearly communicates to architects, contractors and building owners that EnOcean is committed to protecting the environment and strengthening the economy,” said Jim O’Callaghan, president of EnOcean operations in North America. “We are fortunate to be able to offer solutions that enable energy management systems which consequently increase profits. The EnOcean technology, which is green at its core, provides integrators energy-saving controls that are uncommonly easy to integrate.”
In partnership with Energy Star, EnOcean will:
• Measure and track the energy performance of its organization’s facilities where possible by using tools such as those offered through Energy Star;
• Help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency to its staff and community;
• Support the Energy Star Challenge, a national call to action to help improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more;
• Highlight its achievements with recognition offered through Energy Star.
“Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility, and today I’m pleased EnOcean is taking this motto to heart,” said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. “By making smart energy choices, EnOcean is helping improve our nation’s energy and environmental outlook.”
