June 20, 2008—Advancing from an electrical and lighting control infrastructure to a smart building platform, Convia Sustainable Infrastructure from Convia, Inc./A Herman Miller Company reconfigures the way people work.
At NeoCon World’s Trade Fair, June 9-11, 2008, in Chicago, Convia highlighted new features including its newly designed Convia Global Gateway and Sensor Interface Module (SIM) that allow for exceptional energy savings, optimization, control and flexibility in commercial spaces, says the company.
With Convia Sustainable Infrastructure, new or renovated interior spaces become programmable environments, responsive to the ever-changing needs of an organization and users’ needs. The building platform delivers “plug-and-play” power to virtually anywhere in a space, without requiring the hardwiring of devices or switches.
Using a hand-held, two-button remote control wand or easy-to-navigate Web portal, users can link electrical devices and controls in mere moments by simply pointing the wand at two or more objects and creating an electrical association between them, the company says.
Convia, Inc./A Herman Miller Company seeks to change the way people design, build, personalize and manage space. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, Convia offers agile and modular building platforms that to address evolving user needs and new technologies.
