MACC used the Tridium JACE product line to upgrade the existing Trane BMS at significant savings well below Trane’s…
Building Automation Systems are prone to aging and will eventually need to be replaced, fixed, or upgraded over time. Like an HVAC or plumbing system, building control equipment has a finite lifespan that varies based on quality, use, and care.
There are three simple tips for avoiding BMS problems:
Building Management Systems (BMS) are typically classified as either proprietary (closed) or non-proprietary (open).
Proprietary systems integrate exclusively with equipment and software produced by the company that manufactured the system.
In contrast, non-proprietary building control systems can integrate with various equipment manufacturers and software platforms. They also offer a wide range…
It’s entirely possible for JCI BAS system owners or property managers to upgrade their legacy system to a more updated and non-proprietary one like Tridium or J2 Innovations.
This migration can produce a far superior system that’s up to date with current technology and is capable of moving forward as technology improves in the future. Read on to learn more about the value and benefits you’ll get…
Access control systems are supposed to create a more efficient way for authorized individuals to enter an otherwise restricted or controlled area—while creating a verifiable paper-trail record of entries and exits.
The vast majority of access control issues stem from:
Researchers at MIT estimate that commercial buildings account for 20% of all the energy used in the U.S., and as much as 30% of that goes to waste.
Energy usage is a business operating expense in commercial buildings. However, the productivity of the people inside is the real goal.
Comfort and climate control are key aspects of maintaining productivity in an office building, but what if you…
Building technology is constantly changing, and staying current can be tricky, expensive, and frequently impractical. Upgrading your legacy BMS system to a more open and modern one will help extend its lifespan while preserving as much of the initial investment as possible.
There comes a time when it’s beneficial to update, upgrade, or replace older BAS equipment. All too often, building owners decide to entirely replace their BAS System without even considering the possibility of a legacy upgrade.
Legacy upgrades help building owners reap the benefits of newer technology without the high cost of replacing an entire BAS System. They can also help combat increasing…
