GE's new HabiTEQ systems offer major efficiency and cost benefits for the control and automation of energy usage in domestic and commercial buildings. Incorporating battery-free, wireless technology, they can be installed in locations where it is currently impractical to connect with existing devices using wires or batteries.
HabiTEQ is a flexible integrated system that runs a building's functional subsystems, including lighting, heating, ventilation, blinds and security from a central control unit operated via a control panel or on-line.
The devices are zero maintenance and "harvest" energy from ambient heat and light or from a switch being pressed which, together with the reduced need for batteries, makes them more efficient and environmentally friendly.
HabiTEQ can be programmed with a personal computer and can also operate automatically or in response to environmental stimulus; e.g. changing the heating in a room when there are fluctuations in external temperature, time of day or human presence.
