Integration Examples
Shared Sensors
One of the key advantages of the Energio approach is the reduction of components through the sharing of sensors. The most simple example is an occupancy sensor. Occupancy sensors detect when a human is present in a space. The information from this type of sensor can trigger the lighting, turn on the HVAC and alert the security system.
In a non-integrated system you could have separate occupancy sensors for each of the 3 systems in the same space.
Asset Tracking
In typical asset tracking systems you install dedicated receivers through out the facility. These receivers either require power at each location or batteries which cause a maintenance issue. With Energio you no longer have to install dedicated receivers. Every light fixture and/or every sensor now becomes a receiver giving you dense coverage and reducing the number of components in the building.
Energy Reduction and Demand Response
With Energio every device, down to individual light fixtures and outlets can be monitored and controlled. Run time for each device can be calculated and actual consumption of each circuit or switch leg can be monitored. Based on this information power for non-critical areas or operations can be reduced.
Life Safety
Fire
Energio uses the most advance thermal sensors to detect, people, over heating equipment and fires. Energio can detect fires throughout the facility and automatically alert both facility management and the fire department.
Even more importantly the system will notify each individual occupant with a custom alert. Each person will receive a custom message based on where they currently are in the facility that will direct them to the nearest exit.
Active Shooter
A tough topic to talk about, but it is unfortunately something facility managers have to think about. Energio can detect gunshots (both the sound and flash) and "tag" the shooter. The shooters exact and current location can then be relayed to law enforcement in real time. In addition occupants will reach receive a custom notification based on their current location telling them the best exit to take or to shelter in place.
