EnOcean scoops green tech award at Working Buildings Week

EnOcean’s wireless, batteryless switch technology won the “Best innovation in green product or service” award in The Working Buildings Week Innovation Awards 2007 – its second major design award in as many months.

According to Vincent Brain, event manager, Working Buildings Week, “There is increasing pressure on organisations to ensure that their working buildings are as sustainable as possible. We see EnOcean switching technology as providing a practical and low maintenance control solution for energy management technologies. The demonstrable impact its technology has had in the large number of working buildings in which it has already been installed is particularly impressive.”

Andreas Schneider, EnOcean’s executive VP sales & marketing added, “We are proud to receive this second award, which recognises strongly the contribution that EnOcean technology can make to running sustainable buildings. A growing number of building designers and operators are focussing on this issue from both an environmental and an economic perspective, and this is leading to rapidly increased interest in our technology and the products that our partners have brought to market.”

EnOcean’s wireless switch also recently won the ‘Building Product Innovation Award’ at the 100% Design London Awards.
