January 11, 2013 – Distech Controls introduced six new models of its Allure EC-Smart-Vue Series communicating room sensor, now with integrated CO2 and motion sensors. The Allure EC-Smart-Vue communicating sensor is designed to interface with Distech Controls’ BACnet ECB Series and LONWORKS ECL Series controllers. It offers a contemporary design, and includes a backlit display and icon-driven menu. The EC-Smart-Vue is suitable for VAV, fan coil, roof top, heat pump, and unit vent room control applications. By combining multiple sensors – temperature, humidity, CO2, and motion – in a single unit, the Allure EC-Smart-Vue reduces time and installation costs since only one room device needs be mounted, wired, and commissioned.
The four-in-one communicating sensor offers additional energy savings compared to other sensing solutions as it supports both demand-controlled ventilation and occupancy-based control strategies for HVAC and lighting. Moreover, its built-in CO2 sensor contributes to maintaining indoor air quality, optimizing occupant comfort and productivity. The EC-Smart-Vue also features the innovative ECO-Vue leaf pattern, which graphically indicates energy consumption in real time to promote occupants’ energy conscious behavior.
