The demand for automated and intelligent facades has grown dramatically over recent years and this development will continue due to the focus on energy consumption and sustainability. MotorLink® is a state-of-the-art digital data communication technology. It provides improved and accurate control and functionality in connection with any BMS that includes automated windows and natural ventilation.

Intelligent window actuators with MotorLink®
-
Whisper quiet operation
Get nearly soundless window actuator operation with MotorLink® enabled TrueSpeed™
-
Accurate control and feedback
Run actuators with precise speed and to a specific degree of opening, plus get real-time feedback of openings and faults to the BMS
-
Synchronized, dynamic facades
Movement and control across multiple actuators is smooth when opening and closing for the highest level of facade aesthetics
-
Easier installation
Because MotorLink® MotorControllers manage the communication from the window actuators to BMS, there is less cabling directly to BMS
-
Safe operation
When in close mode, window actuators can detect obstacles preventing operation and then reverse to release the object

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.
