DearBACneteers,

Over the past 12 months, BACnet has increased its footprint with several large installations across the Middle East & Africa. BACnet systems are now implemented in major verticals such as education, healthcare, hospitality and commercial buildings. As we move forward, we have some exciting BACnet initiatives underway in this region.

Under the auspices of BACnet Interest Group Middle East (BIG-ME), Abu Dhabi witnessed an interoperability workshop that brought together various controls and equipment manufacturers, MEP consultants and contractors. These interop sessions provide an opportunity for BACnet ven-dors to integrate their systems with each other, while providing a platform to demonstrate tech-nology to specifiers and end users. Similar events are planned for Qatar and Saudi Arabia during the next 12 months.

BACnet is now widely accepted in Middle East as the preferred choice for Open Standard Proto-col to achieve integration at the automation and management layers. Even projects across Africa, such as Nairobi International Airport, are adopting BACnet throughout their facilities.

Despite all the progress BACnet’s biggest beneficiary – the end-user who is usually the faci-lity owner or operator – has been ominously absent in most BACnet events in the Middle East. Theirs is a powerful voice that needs to be heard by the industry, which is today dominated by BACnet vendors. What good is a technology if the main beneficiary remains silent? I therefore appeal to all stakeholders to ensure that end users are included in every effort to showcase BACnet.

To bridge this gap, technical forums such as your local ASHRAE chapter and BIG-ME are playing an important role. I urge developers, end-users, manufacturers, MEP consultants and contractors to participate actively in monthly technical activities being organized by these forums.

Finally, BIG-ME is pleased to announce it's newly elected President Mr. Salman Kalam ([email protected]) and Vice President Ms. Anu Sivaprasad ([email protected]:) ‎who will drive our efforts forward. Please drop an email to welcome them.

Enjoy reading this journal.

The benefits of providing Contemporary Cont-rols’ device-to-internet BACnet solutions are

entirely evident with the Henderson 688 pro-ject. Henderson 688, located in Shanghai, PRC, is a “BEAM Plus” platinum award winning buil-ding. Square footage consists of 60,627 m2 of office space and 4,500 m2 of retail space. The high-end office building caters to internatio-nal tenants and has 24 floors above ground and 3 floors below. (BEAM sets a standard in susta-inable building design by measuring a building's environmental performance. Research shows buildings with a BEAM Plus Platinum rating on average consume 30 % less energy than base-line values compared to their predecessors. Sta-tistics also show a decrease in operating costs by 13.6 % for new green construction. Desig-ners, clients and others are encouraged to think about low carbon and low impact design stra-tegies when designing buildings, minimizing the energy demands created by a building before taking energy efficiency and low carbon techno-logies into consideration).

A new Building Management System (BMS) was installed in the building with the intent to accom-modate future expansion plans. The System

Integrator chose Contemporary Controls due to product dependability and wealth of expe-rience serving the building automation indus-try with devices that support the BACnet open standard protocol. The property owner had a specific task in mind, which was to make sure that the newly installed BMS ran properly and was cost-effective. Just as important, the BMS had to stand up to the demanding needs of the buildings temperature fluctuations, no easy task considering the buildings envelope con-sists mostly of glass.

The installed BMS includes a Honeywell Webs system with a Niagara AX Supervisor, 4 JACE-600 building controllers and 1900 Spyder VAV and unitary controllers. The building occupies over 1800 VAV controllers with 75 VAV control-lers per floor. Each MS/TP segment consists of 28 – 48 Spyders and one Contemporary Cont-

rols’ BASrouter. Fifty-one Contemporary Con-trols’ BASrouters are used to interconnect the Spyder BACnet MS/TP communication ports to BACnet/IP ports on the JACEs. The BASrou-ters off-load the MS/TP communications bur-den from the JACE and by doing so reduce the quantity of JACEs needed for supervising the Spyder controllers ‎ reduced device quan-tities results in cost-savings. Ethernet commu-nication is handled by Contemporary Controls’ CTRLink line of Skorpion 8 and 16-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switches.

Using a BACnet/IP backbone of wired and wire-less Ethernet, Contemporary Controls’ offers a complete and economical BMS solution with all the necessary building automation elements –communication, integration, control and visua-lization.

Contemporary Controls Ethernet Switches fit nicely in control panels.

CYLON SOLUTION

The Shell and Core for the building was origi-nally installed with Trend IQ3 controllers. The fit out required integration of the existing Trend solution into the new system. This was a chieved with the installation of a Cylon BACnet solution utilising Cylon BACnet Routers (CBR) and uni-tary controllers (CBT12), all accessed via the Cylon Viper Head End. The conversion to BAC-net of the IQ3 controls ensured full accessibi-lity of the system via the Cylon Viper Head End.

The fit out of the building consisted of over 650 Fan Coil Units each fitted with a fully program-mable Cylon BACnet CBT12 Unitary Controller which is a native BACnet Advanced Application Controller (B-AAC). This native BACnet control-ler is a truly open solution for the most deman-ding of applications. Cylon BACnet controllers offer unparalleled flexibility and performance on an open platform. The system can easily be extended by adding best of breed 3rd party devices on the same BACnet MS/TP network.

Cylon BACnet main plant controllers (CBM) were utilised on AHU’s along with the CBR/MOD. The CBR/MOD is a Cylon BACnet Rou-ter complete with a Modbus port which allowed direct integration to the Modbus inverter which was supplied with the packaged AHU.

Applications: Cooling, Heating, Air Handling

The passenger lifts and toilet accommodation is located with a central core, with four satel-lite cores each containing a fire fighting lift, dry riser and escape stair. A car park is located at basement level accessed by two vehicle lifts. “One of the reasons for choosing Cylon was their use of the BACnet open protocol, which makes it very easy to interface with other con-trol systems” – Graham Milward, Director, Eton Associates

SOLUTIONS BENEFITS

By utilising the Cylon ViperAX Head End soft-ware the existing control system, in this case Trend IQ3, was fully integrated into a BACnet solution.

As an open protocol, BACnet promotes integra-tion across other manufacturer’s platforms and systems to give a total integrated control solu-tion. The Cylon BACnet solution is highly flex-ible and can be easily extended, allowing for the addition of new functionality and the ability to create new object types.

Flexible Design – the high level of configura-bility of the Cylon system enables the building owner to accommodate multi-tenants’ require-ments very quickly and with minimum cost.

PreservationofHistoryatGuildhallArtGalleryThe�Guildhall�Art�Gallery�in�London�is�bene-fiting�from�state-of-the-art�temperature�and�humidity�monitoring�thanks�to�Sontay’s�inno-vative�SonNet�wireless�system.�

Installed with the minimum of disruption to the gallery space as part of the gallery’s Building

Management System (BMS), the new Sontay sensors are helping to lower energy costs as well as protecting the famous artwork on dis-play.

Established in 1886, the Guildhall Art Gallery is home to a selection of historic pieces including seventeenth century portraits, Pre-Raphae-lite masterpieces and the world famous Magna Carta. The gallery was in need of temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the space con-ditions, control the energy being consumed and protect the artwork. As the art gallery is a listed building, a wired solution was not an option so Hertfordshire-based controls specialist, Com-fort Controls, chose Sontay’s SonNet wireless system.

Previously, the Guildhall Art Gallery func-tioned without any space temperature sensors. Instead, temperature and humidity was cont-rolled by duct mounted sensors and readings in the space were manually taken by a member of staff using a hand held device with the data. This was extremely inefficient. Comfort Control identified that a room-based system could pro-vide much more accurate, automatic readings and deliver a far more reliable, user-friendly and robust solution for the gallery.

Following a site survey, Comfort Controls ins-talled twenty five temperature and humidity sensors throughout the upper and lower gal-lery, which were connected via hardwired rou-ters to the Schneider Electric BMS.

“Installing SonNet was really easy and a great option for a historic building such as the Guild-hall Art Gallery,” says Kris Mitchell, Techni-cal Director at Comfort Controls, “Without any space condition monitoring, unnecessary energy was being wasted, and the artefacts on display were being put at risk. By fitting Son-Net, the Guildhall Art Gallery is now able to monitor and control its energy use, resulting in better conditions for the artwork on display.” The battery powered SonNet devices in the gallery are designed around a robust 2.4 GHz, 802.15.4 self-healing tree topology. This elimi-nates concerns with reception and reliability often associated with existing “point-to-point” wireless systems. If a sensor detects a problem with the signal, it will automatically re-route to find the strongest available path to the re ceiver. Interference with other radio devices in the same frequency spectrum also been addressed through a proprietary algorithm which continu-ally adapts to site conditions.

Using Sontay temperature and humidity sen-sors in spaces such as art galleries or muse-ums makes a huge difference to the preserva-tion and condition of the displays. For example, if the level of humidity is low, paintings will release moisture into the atmosphere, which can cause them to dry out. In contrast, if the atmosphere has a high level of humidity, the painting will absorb moisture which may thre-aten the integrity of the painted surface. By using sensors, galleries such as Guildhall can quickly react if there is a change in the atmos-phere, preventing any damage to the someti-mes priceless pieces of art.

A BACnet JACE control unit from Tridium was installed as part of the project to ensure the sensors ran smoothly with rest of the BMS. By using the BACnet communication protocol, the readings from the SonNet system can be com-bined with other applications in the BMS to improve energy efficiency and indoor air qua-lity. The information is logged into the system with the data used to alter the energy being used by each component.

facturing and marketing high quality own bran-ded generics and innovative branded products. The biotech plant located in Baharestan indus-trial zone near Tehran started production with a capacity of 10 million vials and profiled syringes.

Clean room requirements

The complexity of the clean room requirements for the BMS is to control and monitor the para-meters for air change, pressure difference, humidity, temperature and airlocks. The air change rate is the most important parameter in clean rooms. Depending on the clean room class specific air change rates must be ensured. Pressure difference, humi-dity and temperature between clean rooms and air locks depending on the products produ-

ced there. The air locks isolate two clean room areas with different classes from each other to avoid the transition of particles between them.

Control Strategy

To solve the complexity of maintaining all para-meters on different levels in multiple zones variable air volume (VAV) systems are used. Variable air control systems consist on three PID loops for differential pressure on rooms’ ducts, pressure on supply air and the tempe-rature loop.

Control Equipment

The control system includes 14 master control-ler of the Controlesta RCOCO720/721 series in 14 decentralized panels. 10 air handling units are controlled by dedicated controllers inte-grating the inverters by the on board Modbus interface. 102 damper actuators, 11 air locks, 279 differential pressure switches, 27 differen-tial pressure transmitters and 10 humidity/tem-perature sensors completes the control scena-rio. All controllers are connected by BACnet/IP to the BACnet backbone of the system.

Clean room overview

BuildingAnalytics&BACnetIntelligent Efficiency

At its core, energy efficiency is still about the nuts

and bolts of changing equipment and improving the

physical components of a facility. Information is not

a substitute for the physical integration of new sys-

tems. But it is becoming the glue binding the holis-

tic, system-wide approach that is starting to define the

intelligent efficiency business. It is rapidly becoming

much cheaper to measure efficiency and analyze that

data alongside lots of other information so operators

can actually take action. These information technolo-

gies are transforming the efficiency business. They are

incredibly powerful.

The potential for new energy efficiency remains enor-

mous. While a large portion of our past efficiency

gains came from improvements in individual prod-

ucts, appliances, and equipment, and these device-

level technology improvements will continue to play

an important role, looking ahead we must take a sys-

tems-based approach to dramatically scale up energy

efficiency to meet our future energy challenges.

Intelligent efficiency is a systems-based approach

to efficiency that can help meet this need. Enabled

by information and communication technology (ICT)

and user access to real-time information, intelligent

efficiency differs from component energy efficiency

in that it is adaptive, anticipatory, and networked.

Opportunities exist along a continuum of technology

and human behaviour.

Operators of large commercial buildings understand

that their buildings are more than static structures.

They are entities that live and breathe thermodynami-

cally, and must be managed to a narrow tempera-

ture band of tenant comfort while everything around

them is changing continuously. Outside temperatures

rise and fall, occupancy patterns fluctuate, usage

changes, interior configurations are revised, equip-

ment, electronics, and components are changed out

as a matter of routine, and HVAC systems are prone to

a host of problems.

Building Analytics

Whole-building HVAC performance can be affected by

any sensor that fails, every control loop that goes out

of tune, every damper that jams, and by the contin-

uous patchwork cycles of repair, adjustment, resets,

and old-fashioned tinkering.

Maintaining peak performance of an HVAC system

requires a more comprehensive approach to build-

ing intelligence, combining personnel with technol-

ogy capable of whole-building awareness around

the clock, one that can identify small problems and

larger systemic issues simultaneously, the moment

they arise. One that can identify problems with

enough precision to help direct effective solutions,

ranging from component repair/replacement to fine-

tuning control loops to software refinement.

Typically, no one goes back into the BMS to correct

the problems as they arise. There is little incentive

to find the root cause of a problem when symptoms

show up somewhere else, and in the hectic build-

ing management environment there is little time to

focus on these items. Combining this work environ-

ment with the fact that it is extraordinarily difficult

to dig into a BMS system and the reality that most

operators are not trained or properly equipped to do

so, it is easy to understand how BMS problems go

undetected.

Building analytics tracks 3 areas, Faults: equipment

and mechanical systems not following their sequence

of operations. i.e. A room temperature that has not

been able to hit its setpoint, or a valve that is leaking

by. Opportunities: based on data analysis, there is an

opportunity for an improved sequence of operations.

I.e. opportunities for resets. Capital Projects: Based

on data analysis, installing active savings measures

with calculations of cost and return of investment.

The past decade has seen dramatic advances in

BMS systems and other related smart devices. From

IP connected systems employing a variety of stand-

ard protocols such as BACnet, to support for web

services and XML data, it is now possible to capture

the data produced by the wide range of sensors and

devices in today’s buildings. The New frontier is to

intelligently and efficiently manage and analyze that

data to find what matters.

Some of the Building Analytics applications in Buildings:

Fault Detection and Diagnostics

Central Plant Optimization

Enterprise Energy Management and Reporting

Predictive Maintenance Management

Measurement & Verification (M&V)

Facility Focused Data Analytic Engines

One of the most important modules building analyt-

ics vendors offer is the Measurement & Verification

(M&V) module. It is a module within the platform used

to accurately measure the savings obtained from the

software. To assess effectiveness and determine the

real outcomes of each energy conservation meas-

ure or energy saving project, it is critical customers

be able to measure savings. This requires processes

and methods that are clear, transparent and robust.

The M&V module gives customers a tool to accurately

measure and visualize the resulting savings.

M&V uses processes that are well documented and

consistent with the industry-standard International

Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol

or IPMVP. To identify savings attributable to the appli-

cation, evaluators or project stakeholders compare

baseline conditions to actual conditions – the past to

the present. Results are presented in real-time using

online dashboards and reports.

Managed Services – The Future in Building Automation

Managed Services reinforces HVAC system optimi-

zation. Through cloud-based remote access, service

providers continuously monitor performance, 24/7, at

every level – from whole building to individual controls

– looking for inefficiencies that degrade performance

with an objective to optimize HVAC performance in

order to achieve the greatest possible energy and

monetary savings for the customers.

A number of trends point toward a more service-ori-

ented approach to building automation in the future.

Continuous monitoring and real-time servicing is the

best way to keep a BMS properly tuned for high-level

performance.


BACnet Insight

FirasObeido

The “product-side” of a BMS installation is never a

once-and-done affair. Too many things in the build-

ing’s environment remain in flux, too many aspects of

the building’s thermodynamic behaviour can remain

elusive, and too many subsystems and components

can be improperly calibrated. As a result, commission-

ing is typically advised after BMS installation. Increas-

ingly, owners and operators are looking for ways to

keep their buildings at high-performance levels at all

times. Some seek full-scale “re-commissioning” of

their buildings as data reveals that HVAC performance

is beginning to decline. This requires the right diagnos-

tic software that can detect imbalances, inefficiencies

in subsystems, broken components and sensors, and

improperly tuned control loops. Some software only

goes part way – that is, it detects problems and makes

recommendations others go another step forward and

actively make the necessary adjustments and takes

active control to optimize system performance. A

similar trend driving the software/service-oriented

approach to building automation is the desire of build-

ing owners to upgrade their existing BMS without

incurring large capital expense. Rather than hardware

replacement they are looking for service enhance-

ments to accomplish the same end.

Some in the industry refer to an adjunct service called

“continuous commissioning,” as the logical extension

of initial commissioning and re-commissioning. How-

ever, most often this is not so much continuous as

episodic. BMS inspection, testing, and evaluation are

done periodically, generally at defined intervals, but

often by firms that have no long-term, continuing com-

mitment to the building’s performance. There is grow-

ing appreciation by owners of the benefits of having

24/7 continuous monitoring of performance.

Software as a service combined with Managed Ser-

vices offers the possibility of turning the concept of

“continuous commissioning” into reality. The software

dimension allows the provider to remotely monitor,

thus staying on top of HVAC performance at all times,

and at minimal cost. And it offers greater flexibility for

expansion and integration of new services and hard-

ware. For example, it allows building owners to coor-

dinate and fully leverage energy efficiency measures

such as variable frequency drives (VFD), rooftop solar,

renewable purchased power, battery and thermal

storage. As new sustainability opportunities arise, a

software/ service approach allows building owners to

incorporate them at lowest cost.

Building Analytics & BACnet

BACnet is the bond. It is the most widely used com-

munication protocol by building analytics companies

and on different layers. It is used as a networking

solution and data integrator between the field level

and the management level. It is a dynamic technol-

ogy platform that is always evolving as it also pro-

vides both near real-time data as well as historical

data.

BACnet Ethernet, BACnet/IP (Internet Protocol),

BACnet MSTP (Master Slave Token Passing),

BACnet Point-to-Point, BACnet over ARCnet,

BACnet over LON (Local Operating Network) and

BACnet over Zigbee (Wireless) are all used as

BACnet data link/physical layers.

tems.�Convergence�is�the�hot�topic�at�the�moment�and�we�are�seeing�a�high�number�of�devices�and�control�

systems�using�the�internet�protocol�alongside�traditional�protocols�for�communication,�such�as�BACnet�MS/

TP.�Wireless�variations�of�intelligent�control�devices�are�becoming�much�more�readily�available.�This�makes�

it�easier�to�build,�extend�and�increase�the�range�and�capabilities�of�a�unified,�integrated�system.��

Having said that, it is not just about devices work-

ing together, smart communication is also about

the data that can be accessed. Here, sensors play

the vital role. They are inherently smart, measuring,

analysing and evaluating all sorts of building perfor-

mance data and making this information available to

the control system. By pulling together this informa-

tion and using it to determine the actions of connected

devices, we can create a truly “smart” system.

The principle difference between a conventional

sensor installation and a smart installation is that the

sensors themselves can have many measurement

parameters, while only requiring two wires for the

transmission of all the measurement data directly to

the controller using the relevant protocol.

Today, the choice available in sensors embraces dif-

ferent levels and can now range from a simple ther-

mistor based room temperature device to a sophis-

ticated smart protocol communication sensor. The

latest multi-sensing products offer an increased

level of functionality, tailored to suit any application.

Popularity is growing for these devices as they are

quicker, simpler and more cost effective to install and

utilise just one cable to send all data, no matter how

many variables are detected. For example, our Smart

Communication Sensor combines smart connectivity

with intelligent sensing. The sensors are tailored to

suit any application and offer complete environmen-

tal sensing within a single unit with a whole range

of variables being measured including temperature,

CO2, relative humidity, light level, air quality and fan

speed. For added control, the collected data is com-

municated through BACnet MS/TP.

Smart Communication allows building owners

and facilities managers to fulfill the requirements

of energy efficiency as dictated by EU or national

legislation. Easily available, concise and accurate

information will allow better control strategies to be

implemented in buildings. Within the modern build-

SmartCommunicationFeature

ing, we are looking for sensors that are intelligent,

open and always online. The data they collect and

communicate in our increasingly converged and

integrated building controls world will become ever

more important as they fulfill their demanding role.

This in turn will help us to manage buildings better

and drive energy efficient improvements.

There is a better way to manage facilities. It’s not enough to passively monitor your facility

and wait for problems to arise. Typical Building Automation System (BAS) software relies on an incredible amount of knowledge and investment of time from the people using it. BAS user inter-faces have been laid out the same way since the 1980's when systems first started switching from pneumatic control to digital electric. Can you imagine if you were still using the original OS layout for your PC? What about the UI for your first phone? Advancements have been made to make these systems more intuitive and, in turn, easier for anyone to use. You don’t need to be a computer expert to own and operate a PC any-more, and you shouldn’t need to be a mechani-cal systems expert to find out what’s happening in your building either.

If you’ve experienced BAS software, chances are you’ve seen an interface where you either navigate a floorplan of your building, hunting for the equipment that heats and cools your space, or you have an equipment list that you have to reference to the spaces the equipment serves.

NewWaytoNavigateyourBASEnvironmentBoth approaches require intimate knowledge of the mechanical systems involved. If your graph-ics layout is particularly good, you might have both these options available to you, but both these approaches to BAS navigation have remai-ned unchanged for decades.

Delta Controls’ enteliWEB building manage-ment software is different. It changes the way you navigate your BAS environment. Using wid-gets, you can make important information easily accessible by placing it on the screen. Users can create their own dashboards out of multiple wid-gets, allowing them to customize their experi-ence with all the building information they need. This means it’s no longer just facilities managers who can navigate the system. Energy mana-gers can build their own reports and check on how their initiatives effect change within a buil-ding. Financial staff can track billing, see met-rics in real time and change reporting parame-ters to get critical information faster. Supervisors can see maintenance work being done and see when breakages have occurred in the past to be sure they’ve been addressed.

Whether you’re accessing enteliWEB through a PC or smart device, every part of the UI follows an intuitive design, allowing users to “drill down” through the interface. The software teaches you about your own system by allowing you to click through. Have an incoming alarm about an air handling unit? Click the alarm on your dashboard to connect to the system graphic. From there, drill down to historical data, or check on the rooms being served. Even if you haven’t memo-rized the system structure, you’ll be able to see how everything is connected and find or create reports for what’s going on. enteliWEB allows you to manage multiple sites with one login, so managing large or enterprise facilities becomes more intuitive as well.

Proximity-based services enabled by micro-geolocation for Indoor Positioning Systems

(IPS) are growing quickly. The IPS technol-ogy market alone is estimated to reach $ 5 billion in revenues by 2017 and to represent over 200,000 installations of infrastructure equipment, including Wi-Fi hotspots, Bluetooth antennas, and more than 800 million branded applications downloads.

This technology has made pos-sible the practical deploy-ment of contextual Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). Contextual HMI creates the opportunity for new more efficient work processes for those who rely on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Building Manage-ment Systems (BMS) to per-form their job.

Remote access to super-visory systems, have typi-cally been accomplished by using internet brows-ers on laptops. With the increasing adoption of smart mobile devices, technology such as Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) has been adopted as an alterna-tive for mobile HMI.

Navigating an HMI design-ed for a workstation while using a much smaller mobile device can prove difficult given the reduced screen size and mecha-nism for managing the

mouse. A mobility infrastructure eliminates this problem via the presentation of information and controls in the context of role and place. It pro-vides a dynamic HMI that change as the worker moves through workplace zones automatically adjusting for job responsibility. In a plant sce-nario, such a system is aware which floor a

worker is on and automatically

sends the

status and controls of equipment in that work-er’s proximity. It is a very pro-active approach that is recognized to improve the efficiency of commissioning, operation and maintenance of automation systems.

For safety, it is critical that the Mobility Server knows the current location of workers. With the ready availability of geolocation signals, IPS indoors and GPS outdoors, it is possible to track location by simply archiving the device’s position over time. Safety and dispatch tracking are natural functions of the Mobility Server which relies on position in order to create con-textual HMI. PcVue Solutions are reinventing mobility architectures with smart mobile devices using proximity services in innovative ways to benefit SCADA and Intelligent Building projects throughout the world.

Elections in Abu Dhabi

“It was a good show for us,” summarized Contemporary Controls, exhibitor in Abu Dhabi. Highlight on June 2nd in Middle East was the live presentation of an interoperability workshop. Vijay Kumar, former BIG-ME vice-president was satisfied: “We had good con-sultants, contractors as well as BACnet ven-dors at this event. Much attention was given to the presentations of the Middle East Faci-lity Management Association, of the Green Building Council and of the ASHRAE Falcon Chapter Activities. The event concluded with the election of a new BACnet Interest Group Middle East (BIG-ME) presidency. Salman Kalam from Value Controls was elected as President; Anu Sivaprasad from Belimo was elected as Vice President.

Great presentations in Seattle

At the opening event of the BACnet Roadshow in Seattle on April 21st it was evident that BACnet is more than ever the global lead to reliable investments in building automation. “I just returned from the event with great pre-sentations by all,” recorded Ken Sinclair at automatedbuildings.com

Lyle Bicknell, planner of the city of Seattle, and John Ringness from the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) pre-sented the requirements of smart and effici-ent buildings. Andy McMillan, President of the BACnet International, raised the numerous benefits of BACnet certification for users and manufacturers alike.

Steve Bushby, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Carl Neilson, former chairman of ASHRAE-SSPC 135, and Ray-mond Rae, Vice President of Delta Controls, seized the future opportunities of BACnet.

BACnet on the move in Poland

The Roadshow event on June 9th in Warsaw left a significant mark in Poland. 15 visitors applied to join the new BACnet Interest Group Poland (BIG-PL) and elected Marcin Ploski, Global Control 5, as representative.

Pawel Klimczak from the Polish Chapter of the International Facility Management Associa-tion, sees the need of further cooperation. Scientific support was assured by the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kra-kow, represented by Marcin Pawlik. BIG-EU representative was Advisory Board member

Frank Schubert. He gave a highly regarded update on current developments in standardi-zation and certification.

Berlin remains BACnet hub in Europe

“We need reliable protocols like BACnet”, con-firmed the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety on June 16th in Berlin. Karl Heinz Belser, BIG-EU Executive Board, mode-rated the event. 140 visitors were attracted with topics ranging from the Berliner Schloss (cover photo) to the future directions in BACnet standardization. “I went through the presentations” commented BACnet Pioneer Mike Newman. “There were really some very excellent ones! Congratulations!” After the launch of BACnet in the German Parliament Buildings many years ago the city of Ber-lin also today remains a BACnet hub. Visitors asked for more events like this to get and to stay in touch with BACnet.
