D+H window drives, chain drives, control panels, sensors and automation support for New Zealand building projects.

EBSA NZ Ltd supplies and supports D+H window automation and control system equipment for New Zealand buildings, including chain drives, window drives, control panels, smoke control equipment, sensors, switches and related control system equipment.

EBSA NZ Ltd has directly imported, supplied and supported D+H window automation and control system equipment in New Zealand since 2019. Through the wider EBSA group, EBSA also has a long-standing D+H relationship supporting façade automation, natural ventilation and smoke control projects.

We work with builders, aluminium joiners, electricians, consultants, schools, public buildings, commercial facilities and asset owners who need practical support with automated window opening systems, control panels, project coordination, commissioning and long-term service.

Window automation is more than fitting a motor to a window

A reliable window automation system depends on the correct drive, bracket arrangement, control panel, cabling, power supply, switchgear, sensors, interface logic and commissioning process.

The right solution depends on the window type, opening geometry, sash weight, required stroke, number of openings, control zones, access for maintenance, weather exposure and whether the system is being used for everyday ventilation, smoke control, high-level access or integration with other building systems.

EBSA NZ can assist early in the process so the automation package is properly coordinated before products are ordered, installed or connected to other trades.

Support for builders, joiners, electricians and consultants

EBSA NZ works across the full project chain. Our role is often to help connect the window, façade, electrical, mechanical, fire and BMS requirements into a practical system that can be installed, commissioned and maintained.

Builders and project managers

We help define the automation scope, product requirements, delivery responsibilities, commissioning needs and handover expectations so the system is not left unresolved late in the project.

Aluminium joiners and façade contractors

We assist with drive selection, bracket coordination, cable entry requirements, window compatibility, fixing locations and practical installation considerations.

Electricians and control contractors

We support control panel selection, power supply requirements, field wiring, switch inputs, sensor inputs, grouping, interfaces and commissioning coordination.

Consultants and engineers

We provide technical input for natural ventilation, smoke control opening requirements, interface logic, system behaviour, specification review and coordination with the wider design team.

Natural ventilation control

D+H window automation can be used as part of a natural ventilation strategy where automated windows or louvres are required to open and close in response to user input, sensors, schedules or building control systems.

Common natural ventilation functions may include:

  • Local wall switch operation
  • Grouped window opening and closing
  • Temperature-based ventilation
  • CO2 or indoor air quality response
  • Rain and wind response
  • Time schedule control
  • BMS interface
  • Night purge ventilation where suitable
  • Mixed-mode ventilation coordination with mechanical systems

The available functionality depends on the selected drives, control panel, sensors, wiring and programmed control strategy.

GVL control panels

Natural ventilation controllers in 1 A, 4 A and 8 A configurations for single-group and higher-capacity applications.

Smoke control and smoke ventilation support

Automated windows, louvres and façade openings can form part of a smoke ventilation or smoke control strategy where they are coordinated with the project fire engineering design, mechanical services design, control system interfaces and approval pathway.

EBSA NZ can supply and support D+H equipment used in smoke ventilation, stair pressurisation relief, make-up air and smoke control opening applications where suitable for the project.

These applications require coordinated selection of the opening element, actuator, control panel, standby power, fire-alarm interface, field cabling, cause-and-effect logic and commissioning process.

EBSA works with the project team to align the automated opening system with the fire strategy, design documentation, installation requirements and commissioning plan.

Smoke-control panels

D+H smoke ventilation control equipment

EBSA supplies and supports D+H RZN, CPS-B, CPS-P and CPS-M smoke-control panel platforms for New Zealand projects.

D+H smoke-control panels are available with certification to applicable smoke-control power-supply and control-equipment standards, including EN 12101-10 and ISO 21927-9 where stated for the selected product and configuration.

The available range extends from compact single-zone panels through to high-capacity packaged panels and project-specific modular CPS-M systems with advanced zoning, BMS interfaces, ACB feedback, programmed logic and remote-access options.

Control panels, sensors and interfaces

The control panel is central to the operation of a window automation system. It manages power to the drives, receives inputs from switches and sensors, and controls how different zones respond.

A simple system may only require basic open/close control with a rain sensor. A more advanced project may require multiple zones, smoke control inputs, BMS integration, wind and rain logic, position control, staged operation, fault monitoring or project-specific programming.

User and sensor inputs

  • Local switches
  • Rain sensors
  • Wind sensors
  • Temperature sensors
  • CO2 sensors

Building interfaces

  • Fire alarm inputs
  • BMS inputs or outputs
  • Mechanical services interfaces
  • Smoke control system interfaces

Control functions

  • Grouped operation
  • Zone control
  • Automatic weather response
  • Remote or centralised operation where specified

Interface requirements should be confirmed early so responsibility for cabling, containment, power supplies, controls, testing and commissioning is clear.

Typical applications

D+H window automation equipment supplied and supported by EBSA NZ may be suitable for:

  • Schools and education buildings
  • Public buildings and community facilities
  • Commercial buildings
