Siemens will showcase a series of its novel solutions at the Light+Building, an international trade fair for architecture and technology, entitled ‘Maximize your Building Efficiency’, scheduled between April 15 and 20, 2012.
The company’s solutions are based on the open communications standard KNX. Its series of solutions include electrical installation technology, power distribution, and the intelligent power grid of the future (smart grid), building automation, and energy efficiency services.
The building automation is integrated with fire detection and video surveillance through the combination of Desigo and Total Building Solutions (TBS). The Simatic S7-based production-side infrastructure also integrates into an end-to-end management system. Desigo functions without extra interfaces for BACnet/IP communication. The Green Leaf energy-efficiency indicator is based on the tested Desigo RoomOptiControl application. The operations of HVAC systems are determined by Eco Monitoring based on energy-relevant key performance indicators (KPI), thereby avoiding wear on system components and increased consumption.
A new multifunctional room unit called UP204 operator panel has been launched. The device includes a touch screen with 320x240 px and 2.8 in color touch display, and a pressure-sensitive thumb wheel. The operator panel controls ventilation, heating, lighting, shading, and cooling.
With the EEP system, Siemens will demonstrate the reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in industrial environments and large-scale installations. In addition, the Green Building Monitor, recently certified by TÜV Rheinland to fulfill the DIN EN 16001 standard for energy management systems, offers real-time optimization of building systems by displaying energy savings and sustainability efforts.
Siemens’ Low and Medium Voltage Division will exhibit its wide range of products for a more efficient and versatile power distribution. In addition, it facilitates the application of new energy concepts based on photovoltaics, wind power, smart grids and electromobility.
The 8DJH gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear utilizes standardized protocols to facilitate communication between the switchgear and the higher-level control system. A solar carport equipped with an incorporated WB100A charger is a special low-voltage application for electric vehicles.
