Prize for energy savings pair

Kieback&Peter has won the GebäudeEffizienz (Building Efficiency) Award for the 3rd time in a row. The winner for 2011 is the "energy savings pair" MD15-FTL small actuator and RBW322-FTL room control module.

The high-profile jury acknowledged the MD15-FTL and RBW322-FTL room control module product combination, as a simple and effective energy saving solution for the best automation product award.

The "energy saving pair" is a totally wireless unit for energy-efficient room temperature control in new and in existing buildings. It can be installed easily and quickly without construction work, and immediately saves heating energy sustainably.

Wireless radio solution

Both components are based on EnOcean technology and are part of the Kieback&Peter technoLink product family. They communicate directly via the EnOcean wireless standard.  In its specification it is already tailored for energy-efficient product solutions. The control module "harvests" the energy through energy harvesting from ambient light and uses internal energy storage. The small actuator is fed by long-life batteries.

Easy operation

Thanks to an intuitive operating concept and a big screen with catchy imagery, the operation of the RBW322-FTL control room module is very simple. Thus, setting the integrated weekly timing program, in which the user can enter his room occupancy times, becomes a breeze.

Energy efficient control

The control module monitors the room temperature with an integrated sensor. The control functions for room temperature control run directly into the MD15-FTL small actuator based on the data transmitted via the control module.

The actuator also has an internal sensor. This way the opening of windows in the vicinity of the radiator can be registered, for example. If a window is recognized as open, the heat supply is automatically stopped. The actuator’s sensor is also used when the radio communication is interrupted. In this way the basic room temperature control functions are ensured at all times.

The GebäudeEffizienz Award is presented annually at the GebäudeEffizienz Dialog.
