Flexible room management saves money and energy, and enhances comfort
Saving energy and cutting operating costs without compromises on comfort? Thanks to room automation solutions from SAUTER, this isn't a contradiction in terms, but an actual fact. Even in buildings where the room usage is constantly changing.
Flexible, mobile and adaptable – that's how today's society can be described, and the same is true of modern companies and organisations. This sets demanding requirements for contemporary room management – but SAUTER's room management solutions meet them with consummate ease. They network the rooms' technical functions within the building to form one single unit. More than one hundred years of experience in measuring and control technology enable SAUTER to create comprehensive, tailor-made solutions for all its customers. SAUTER's solutions reduce the demand for heating, cooling or electrical energy thanks to co-ordinated automation functions, dependent on the room usage at any given time. The measures deployed to achieve this include utilising cost-free energy sources, such as sunlight by day or cool outdoor air by night. The key factor here is the interaction among the various room functions. That's because co-ordinated use of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and lighting is the only way to guarantee maximum room comfort while minimising energy consumption as well.
Flexible room usage with no outlay
Cooled rooms with the windows left open during summer? Lights on when there is adequate daylight? Heated rooms standing empty? In office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, schools and museums alike, these are now problems of the past thanks to SAUTER's ingenious solutions.
The same is true of problems with changes in space usage in a building. Because of their zone-based concept, SAUTER's ingenious room automation systems can adapt quickly to new circumstances, while keeping costs low. This means that the installations are set up on the basis of zones, so they are independent of how the area is used later on. In contrast to a room-orientated concept, SAUTER's approach means that adaptations on account of new space allocations or usages can be implemented speedily, without major investments. No new wiring is required, nor is it necessary to interrupt operations or adapt software.
Both clever and attractive
Intelligent room management from SAUTER is not only adaptable and highly efficient, but also visually pleasing and very user-friendly, thanks to intuitive operator guidance. The small room operating unit can be used to control all the technical systems in the building in line with demand and timing schedules. Functions are freely programmable and can be labelled individually. Whether wired or wireless, the visual appearance of the control element is adaptable to match the interior design and is compatible with many commercially-available ranges of switches. Innovative EnOcean wireless technology also means that mounting the element on glass, for example, is no longer a problem.
