ASHRAE SHOW
From NikkoSys - there were 32 products from 22 manufacturers on the AHR demo last year. They were all on the same wire except one and it was on it's own channel as it used power line carrier instead of FTT. Associated to those 32 controllers were 4 different software vendors who were direct connected......The demo was pre-wired to save time, but the database was built on site and took approx 6 hours to get up and running (2 guys). Because the commisioning went faster than anticipated there was some time to play so Circon's access controller was set up to initiate lights-on through a Douglas Panel and to command several manf. VAV controllers and fan coil controllers to occupied mode etc.
Does Lonmark have a better idea for presentation at the next AHR show?
They had decent content, they just went about it all wrong.
Contrast that with that ASHRAE site, which was low on actual content but big on fluff.
