Wireless Sensors and Controls: A Growing Range of Applications The range of applications using wireless sensors and controls is growing every day. Here, we present some of the most interesting case studies dealing with real-life installations of Spinwave Systems' sensing and control solutions.
Adding New Offices to an Existing HVAC System Modular office partitions are convenient and widely deployed. But pulling wires through a modular wall is just not feasible. So how to integrate these new offices into your existing HVAC system? Wireless sensors offer the perfect solution. They can be deployed easily with no wiring, and no disruption to office workers, and they integrate seamlessly with nearly all existing HVAC systems.
Preserving Historic Architectural Features When Upgrading Systems If it weren’t challenging enough to install building automation components throughout brick and concrete building, preserving historic architectural features adds another layer to the problem. Wireless sensors make it possible to install temperature sensing solutions easily. Since there are no wires to pull, it's possible to upgrade a historic building's heating and air conditioning systems without running the risk of damaging priceless wood carvings, tiles, wall coverings, and flooring.
Retrofitting a Continuously Occupied Nursing Home Retrofitting a building that is occupied 24 hours a day is a considerable challenge. Add to this plaster walls and local regulations on mounting temperature controls in a healthcare facility, and costs become a major concern, too. Using wireless sensors saved at least $48,000 in construction costs and enabled an extensive retrofit while residents continued to live in the building.
