COMMERCIAL WINDOW AUTOMATION

Commercial window automation systems

From individual automated openings to complex networked facades, EBSA integrates actuators, controls, field wiring, sensors and building interfaces into one coordinated commercial system.

THE COMPLETE SYSTEM

The window is only the starting point.

Reliable window automation depends on every part of the system working together. EBSA develops the actuator, mounting, wiring, controls, logic, sensors and building interfaces around the required operation of the facade.

COMMISSIONING

One coordinated system from the facade element to the building interface.

EXPLORE WINDOW AUTOMATION

Start with what the project needs to do.

WINDOW ACTUATORS

Select actuation around opening type, geometry, stroke, force, speed, synchronisation and mounting.

CONTROL SYSTEMS

Define groups, zones, sequences, inputs, monitoring and the control architecture required for the building.

NATURAL VENTILATION

Automate day-to-day ventilation, purge strategies, environmental response and building-control sequences.

SMOKE VENTILATION

Coordinate smoke-control operation, emergency power, zoning, monitoring and fire-system inputs.

BMS INTEGRATION

Connect the operable facade to building management, mechanical and other control systems.

WINDOW ACTUATION

The right actuator starts with the window and the required operation.

Actuator selection is an engineering decision, not simply a force rating. EBSA considers opening geometry, stroke, sash size and load, mounting space, closing force, speed, synchronisation, feedback, duty and the way the opening must behave within the wider system.

CHAIN ACTUATORS

Compact, versatile actuation for a wide range of commercial window types. Current D+H pathways include VCD, CDC, KA, CDM and CDP families.

RACK + PINION ACTUATORS

Robust linear actuation for larger strokes, higher forces and specialist facade applications, including D+H ZA and DXD families.

LOUVRE DRIVES

Purpose-designed actuation for operable louvre systems and facade elements requiring controlled, repeatable movement.

SPECIALIST DRIVES

Locking, door, rooflight and other actuation solutions for specific opening geometries and project requirements.

The actuator is selected around the opening, not the other way around.

CONTROL SYSTEMS

Control systems engineered around how the building needs to operate.

EBSA develops the control architecture from the required sequence of operation — actuator loads, groups and zones, ventilation functions, smoke-control priorities, local controls, sensors, monitoring and building interfaces.

The D+H control range allows EBSA to scale from compact natural-ventilation control through to networked smoke and ventilation systems for complex commercial facades.

COMPACT VENTILATION CONTROL

MULTI-GROUP VENTILATION

SMOKE + VENTILATION CONTROL

PROJECT-ENGINEERED / NETWORKED CONTROL

NATURAL VENTILATION CONTROLS

VCM, GVL and WRZ platforms provide control pathways for simple through multi-zone ventilation strategies.

SMOKE CONTROL PANELS

RZN-T, RZN-M, CPS-B and CPS-P provide scalable control options for smoke-control and combined ventilation applications.

PROJECT-ENGINEERED CPS-M

Modular, networked control architecture for complex projects. EBSA engineers and manufactures CPS-M systems in Australia around the required sequence of operation.

BUILDING COMMUNICATION

Low-level interfaces and high-level communication can be integrated through the selected control architecture, including Modbus and applicable D+H network and gateway technologies.

Built around the project, not adapted to it.

NATURAL VENTILATION

Automated openings that respond to the building.

Window automation turns operable facade elements into an active part of the building’s ventilation strategy. EBSA coordinates the openings, sensors, controls and building interfaces so the facade responds consistently to the required operating sequence.

DAY-TO-DAY VENTILATION

Automated opening and closing around the building’s normal ventilation strategy.

CO2 + TEMPERATURE RESPONSE

Use indoor environmental inputs to drive ventilation when the control strategy calls for it.

WEATHER RESPONSE

Coordinate automated openings with rain, wind and other external conditions.

NIGHT + PURGE VENTILATION

Use controlled opening sequences to support planned purge and night-ventilation strategies.

USER CONTROL

Combine automatic operation with local switches, touch controls and defined user override.

HVAC + BMS COORDINATION

Coordinate natural ventilation with mechanical services and building-level control strategies.
