TAC: Updates |

Spring 2004 Edition...
 BACnet fever is
spreading...
BACnet® has become a household word in the building automation industry, with thousands of installations worldwide, especially in the school, university, and government markets. In 2004, the standard is well on its way to universal acceptance for all types of facility automation applications, including security management.
TAC is proud to spotlight some of our initial BACnet projects:
 Chi Omega Sorority House, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK:
The school believed strongly in selecting an “open protocol” solution over the proprietary systems they had used in the past in this old three-story building which houses 100+ women in 40 rooms.
Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA
The Art Center College of Design selected Andover in part due to the flexibility that their native BACnet solution offers for this and future projects.
Fortunoff Department Store, White Plains, NY
Because time was of the essence, the store wanted to avoid possible network compatibility issues amongst the various equipment vendors involved in the project.
New York City Public Health Laboratory, New York, NY
In light of recent threats to New York’s public health and safety and to meet new federal bio-lab Level 2 and Level 3 standards, the New York Public Health Laboratory took a proactive “open protocol” approach and “flat-spec-ed” BACnet for their recent lab controls upgrade in their Manhattan facility.

 Realize the Benefits...
When you are responsible for a large number of small facilities, such as retail stores,
quick service chains, branch offices, or regional office buildings, maintenance and
operations can consume a large part of your budget.
Your smaller facilities can now benefit from the sophisticated control of Andover’s products, at a price that
even the small building owner or manager can afford.

Project Profile: Chippewa
Valley Technical College
|
 College Scores High...
When it comes to energy saving, Wisconsin’s Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) is at the head of the class. Amongst the 16 state technical colleges, CCTV boasts the lowest energy use (based on BTU’s/sq ft and degree days) for the past 13 years! The net savings per year amounts to approximately $400,000 — an impressive dollar amount that can be funneled annually into education, not the operating budget.
