The products and other building automation and asset management software will move from RLE Technologies to the newly formed Geist Intelligent Facilities.More>>

The wireless sensor network system continuously monitors power and thermal use, pinpointing common waste areas; users can match cooling load to power load, improve PUE.More>>

Power consumption is a central design consideration for wireless sensor networks whether they are powered using batteries or energy harvesters. Vital to success for either approach, however, is the need for hardware that uses power intelligently.More>>

Federal facilities face mandated energy efficiency improvements. The first step toward achieving these ends requires knowledge of energy usage that a comprehensive power monitoring system—applied wisely—can provide. Here are some key questions to ask when choosing and using a power monitoring...More>>

Embedding networking into low-cost sensors presents particular cost and complexity challenges. Pyxos is an embedded control networking platform with tiny ICs that is designed to be built into low-cost sensors and actuators.More>>

If you've ever worked while resting a laptop computer on your lap, you know that computers emit heat, and the more powerful the computer, the greater the heat produced. This is a problem because electronics really don't enjoy elevated temperatures. A hot computer is a slow computer or, worse, a...More>>

In HVAC systems, the humble freezestat and the newer solid-state combination sensor both prevent freeze-related damage to ventilation system coils. Here's how the two technologies stack up against each other.More>>
