How to make a ventilation system connected?

Comment rendre un système de ventilation connecté ?

The challenge

Being able to control the BY-PASS ventilation system from a switch. VMI® has chosen a connected solution for the renovation, allowing for ease of installation (no cables to pull) and maintenance thanks to battery-free switches.

The needs

  • Control a BY-PASS system to optimize thermal comfort
  • VMI® ventilation
  • Customization of switches to identify the VMI® brand
  • Energy savings via an intelligent system that is easy to install during renovation

The solution deployed

A switch with personalized keys (hot air, cold air) coupled with a two-channel connected module.

  • No cables needed for switches
  • Accessible and simple installation
  • Battery-free switch
  • No battery, no maintenance​
  • EnOcean Interoperability
  • Possible evolution towards intelligent and autonomous VMC​

The benefits

Comfort

Summer/winter mode control using a battery-free switch

Energy savings

On-demand management by the occupant of the BY-PASS ventilation system

Flexibility

Quick and reliable installation and handling

We chose to collaborate with NodOn because they offered the ideal solution for our project with the added possibility of customizing the switch. We chose EnOcean technology for the simplicity of installing the module, and the battery-free and autonomous side of the switch thanks to the Energy Harvesting technology. This is a comfort for our installer customers and for the users of our systems.
