Over the recent past, the best use of an analytic software application for building systems has been fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) specific to HVAC systems. There is research and a number of case studies with verified results showing analytic software reduces energy consumption, improves the efficiency and effectiveness of building operation, and reduces building OPEX. Once used, FDD becomes a core operational tool for many facility managers.

Innovation is a process in which, by definition, an idea develops into a technology which then ends up being pervasive in the market. Usually, such an innovation process takes time. EnOcean has successfully achieved this for energy harvesting wireless solutions within only a few years. Only in the past few months, EnOcean had tripled its revenue by quarter. This significant business growth particularly confirms: batteries are outdated; the market demands energy harvesting to power wireless solutions. EnOcean and its partners such as Control Network Solutions (CNS) continue to be innovative – just according to the motto “Innovation never stops, never stop innovation”.
Now see how CNS’s is “Driving Enocean for Niagara Networks” in this document.
As the UK Government continues to develop policies that support the UK’s determination to reduce its CO2 emissions according to the commitments made under the Kyoto Protocol, it takes serious interest in innovative, often market disruptive, solutions that support such.
The visit to Control Network Solutions (CNS) is to enable Ministers learn more about how CNS’s innovative wireless/batteryless solution called “cns-enocean” delivers at lower cost than traditional EnOcean solutions, better end client experience, whilst reducing energy demand and fully supporting load shedding solutions.

The world of smart building controls in terms of who delivers what and what it is they are delivering is changing fast. The world of convergent technology solutions will dominate and that convergence is driving business change from the End Clients to the Solution providers. Some will see this as a threat, others as an opportunity. The entrepreneurs in the System Integration industry will have a great opportunity to achieve what the IHS Report “Can you see the light” last year described as “Super Integrator status” creating significant growth in revenues and profits. Those that do not look above the parapet will be left chasing left over business with ever diminishing returns. Worth considering “Is Convergence Good for Business” article just last month. Further if the current System Integrators don’t develop their skills fast then they may find that the world of Electrical Contracting and traditional Lighting controls companies have to become yet another major threat to the old order.
