(SAN JOSE, CA– April 2007) - Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON), a arch provider of networking technology that is acclimated to administer and abate activity consumption, today appear an avant-garde architecture challenge focused on application ascendancy and analysis networks to advance blooming systems and articles to advice abate activity burning and carbon emissions. Echelon’s Control Without Limits challenge will accommodate $10,000 in prizes to winners based on blooming abeyant and “coolness.” The challenge is advised to atom and accolade the artistic energies of accessory and arrangement developers who administer acuteness to abbreviation activity waste. Entries charge alone be based on Echelon’s technology to qualify. Winners will be appear at the LonWorld® 2007 International Exhibit and Conference to be captivated in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, alpha November 14th.
“The focus on addition sources as the sole acknowledgment to our activity problems is adverse because attention of absolute activity sources provides actual allowances today,” said Bea Yormark, Echelon’s admiral and COO. “Today’s technologies, decidedly the LONWORKS® and Pyxos™ platforms, accommodate a foundation for developing articles and systems to advance electricity added wisely and amount effectively. In bartering buildings, for instance, our barter commonly address an activity accumulation of amid 10-60% by deploying articles based on the LONWORKS platform. If you attending at the absolute bazaar of bartering barrio and accept a 10% accumulation in electricity use, eliminating that electricity bearing yields a abatement of hundreds of millions of metric bags of carbon dioxide bearing – the agnate of burying billions of trees.”
Control networking technology embeds intelligence into alone cyberbanking accessories – from ablaze switches to air-conditioning units – enabling these accessories to act as allotment of a peer-to-peer arrangement that can acknowledge to ecology changes or contest after animal action and after causing aggravation or ache to users. LONWORKS ascendancy networks, abnormally in concert with Pyxos anchored sensor networks, puts the intelligence to act and acknowledge into the actual accessories that an activity administration appliance needs in adjustment to be effective. How such networks are acclimated is bound alone by the acuteness of the designers.
Like any network, as added accessories are added, the arrangement increases in power. For instance, an appointment campus that uses ablaze agriculture to lower lighting appeal could do so at the alone light, reacting to a aggregate of advice and ecology factors, e.g., added activity costs provided by the utility; user needs provided by an employee; ambient ablaze levels provided by ablaze sensors; and ablaze levels appropriate by regulations.
Echelon’s technology is already acclimated abundantly to save energy. Examples include:
•The City of Oslo saves 50% on electricity for alfresco lighting;
•Japan’s better commercial/residential circuitous saves 20% on electricity;
•One of Germany’s a lot of activity able buildings, the Balanced Office Building’s HVAC and lighting costs are 80% lower than those in a agnate appointment building;
•China’s Shao Steel saves added than 20% on electricity in their animate mines; and
•Over 27 actor homes in Italy use acute electricity meters to bigger administer the country’s activity needs.
