Powercast’s Building Automation Sensors and Controller technology provides wireless, maintenance-free, advanced HVAC and lighting control including Powercast’s revolutionary Lifetime Power® battery-powered sensors that last 25 years. The remote-controlled lighting system technology achieves substantial energy savings, while the HVAC system technology provides advanced environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, light, C02, differential pressure, contact closure, and more).
Simple. Intuitive. Effective.
Benefits Include:
- Most Building Automation Systems (BAS) last 7-10 years, our battery-powered sensor technology instead lasts 25 years for a lifetime sensing anenvironmentally-friendly solution, eliminating both the hassle and expense of battery maintenance, and significantly reducing disposable battery e-waste that saves potential toxic materials from our landfills.
- You don’t have to plan for wiring in building drawings, or pay electrical labor to run wires. Without wires or battery maintenance, users can install more sensors to increase data for optimizing energy savings and comfort.
- Users save 40%-50% over the installed cost of wired sensor and controller building automation systems, while also making a positive impact on our environment.
The easy-to-install lighting system technology features wireless devices that retrofit into existing fixtures (under three minutes per fixture), making installation up to 85% faster than competitors. Facility managers use advanced automation controls to optimize both their lighting and energy usage across multiple rooms and buildings by delivering the right amount of light to the right room at the right time. For example, a well-known, large university reduced total energy usage by 35.
The system technology monitors occupancy and vacancy and uses task tuning, daylight harvesting, scene selection, automatic shut off and dimming. A remote control system lets users manage, monitor and adjust lighting from a laptop, tablet or smart phone from anywhere. Consumption reports provide date-range, room and time-period insights for additional energy monitoring savings.
Powercast’s BAS Gateway can scale up to 1000’s of sensor nodes and interfaces to wired BAS networks via industry-standard protocols, including BACnet, Modbus, and LonWorks. The 25-year maintenance-free sensors and gateway technologies communicate wirelessly at 915MHz, providing robust communication even in concrete-rich environments. Sensor range is typically over 300 feet, and wired devices like luminaire controllers can act as repeaters to boost range indefinitely back to the gateway.
