Key features of NV Advance®

Optimized Night Cooling

Sensors send data on the indoor and outdoor conditions allowing the system to calculate an optimized night cooling approach while maintaining building security.
Data Logging

Continuous logging and storage of all data concerning interior climate, weather conditions, window positions and any system errors. Ideal for analysis and system optimization.
Web-based Management

This gives the user intuitive access for monitoring and adjusting the system. The tool also includes visualization of building, floor and room status with the possibility of opening/closing windows.
Solar Shading

Built-in controller coordinates venetian blinds and awnings. It also includes functions such as timed up/down function linked to calendar, up/down function depending on lux levels, and the option of manual input.
Integrated Smoke Ventilation

Incorporates smoke ventilation control with natural ventilation control which means that the same equipment can be used for both purposes. Available in select markets only.

Intelligent control of windows: MotorLink®

MotorLink® is a communication technology that enables 2-way control and feedback between window actuators and the Building Management System via the MotorController. All WindowMaster control systems are MotorLink® capable with many of our actuators. Click below to learn more and see related products.

HouseZero on Harvard University's campus raises the bar for energy efficiency

HouseZero of Harvard University was renovated to inspire others by how older, existing structures can be altered to become ultra-efficient facilities. The older indoor climate systems were fully replaced with a new indoor climate paradigm which relies on the addition of thermal mass and radiant surfaces.

Intelligent automation at Augusta University Cancer Research Center

Augusta University Cancer Research Center chose WindowMaster actuators and MotorControllers as part of the building’s heat and smoke management strategy. The actuators and controllers are enabled with MotorLink® so that they can communicate directly with the building management systems about their position and status.
