Chicago, IL – Magnum Energy Solutions, a manufacturer of innovative

wireless solutions, is showcasing its newest line of wireless self powered energy management

and monitoring products in AHR booth 3666 within the Building Automation and Control area.

By leveraging wireless, batteryless technology, Magnum’s solutions offer considerable

advantages, including improved flexibility, enhanced occupant comfort and reduced energy

consumption. The open and interoperable technology offers both stand alone applications as

well as capabilities to seamlessly integrate to nearly any existing building system. This

integration is accomplished using an eBox, which automatically translates incoming wireless

transmissions into BACnet IP objects. Come visit the booth for a visual demonstration of the

capabilities of this unique device.

In addition to demonstrating its core solution, Magnum will launch its new, industry leading

products that are poised to elevate the capacity for wireless within the HVAC industry. ROOT

is an android based thermostat strategically designed for the multifamily sector with

applications for hotels and commercial offices as well. ROOT consists of a capacitive touch

screen, speakers and is enabled with Bluetooth, WIFI, an Ethernet jack and Verizon mobile

technology. This device is fully customizable and can interface with other third party

applications, including package notification, access control, security and more.

The multifamily sector has been historically slow to embrace “smart technology” as an

amenity or marketing tool, but developers and property managers are increasingly

acknowledging that more residents are looking for apartments with features that give them a

greater sense of control. Mike Smith, VP of Building Technology at Forest City sees smart

apartment technology as an important benefit for both residents and management. He notes

that Forest City has 1,100 apartment units in Chicago on any given day of which 100 of them

might be vacant. “So with the click of a button, we can power everything down and even see if

any windows are open.” Mr. Smith adds, “Magnum’s android based, wireless ROOT presents

the future of residential living.”

With eBox, traditional hard wired building automation systems can be connected to wireless

end devices tied to temperature, humidity, CO2, motion and LUX sensors. With the goal to be

integrated, intelligent buildings can be better monitored and managed to attain increased

efficiencies and improved occupant comfort.

Also to be highlighted at the booth 3666 will be the revolutionary Perfect Pair technology,

which allows for thermostatic control of hot water and steam heating systems. A wireless

valve actuator is paired with a wireless digital thermostat that automatically adjusts the

amount of steam or hot water flowing through the radiator. These devices work in a stand

alone capacity, or can be integrated into a building automation system through Magnum’s

eBox, for better balancing.Magnum is using AHR to announce their new partnership with Optigo Networks, the leader in

building network end solutions. This partnership combines Magnum’s energy management

solutions with Optigo’s flexible and versatile network solutions to create powerful smart

building solutions.
