Austrian company Winner at Mercur '11 Awards LOYTEC honored for strength in innovation
/
Viennese company LOYTEC was awarded the favored prize for the innovative L-WEB System and an energy saving application at the school district of Decatur, Indianapolis, USA. L-Web is a system for visualization and management of connected real estate and buildings of any size. Maximum customer benefit is achieved through flexibility, scalability and the combination of various software and hardware components.
Annually, the Vienna Economic Chamber presents the Mercur Awards for innovation. Within the context of the Innovation Day event LOYTECs CFO, Mag. Josef Wojak, was presented by the President of the Vienna Economic Chamber, Mrs. Brigitte Jank, an award for the special category "Cooperation". The goal of the Mercur Award is to reveal and strengthen the innovational capability of Viennese companies. The special award "Cooperation" is awarded to innovative projects in the field of energy efficiency and energy management in conjunction with universities, research facilities or colleges. LOYTEC is a nominee for the Austrian State Prize for Innovation. All submissions are assessed by the renowned and independent Institute for Industrial Science.
In cooperation with Perfection Services Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, a L-WEB based scheduler solution was implemented for the school district of Decatur, a township of Indianapolis, USA. The task was to minimize energy consumption of the school buildings without affecting functionality and comfort. Energy and occupancy needs at different times of day or different days of the week had to be taken into account, as school buildings are utilized with varying events throughout a day or a calendar year. The school district of Decatur optimized the energy balance of its facilities considerably with automation solutions by LOYTEC.
"Our aim is to increase energy efficiency and comfort of buildings to a maximum at reasonable prizes. Our products for building automation 'made in Austria' are delivered to more than 80 countries of the world. Our export rate is 99%. Part of our success is the great assistance from the foreign trade offices from the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber", Josef Wojak relates.
