Backward compatibility and future-proof
October 1st 2007 Priva Building Intelligence has
installed a building management
system at Charterhouse school, and
is demonstrating the ease with
which it can attain backward
compatibility and integration with
other manufacturer's systems, as
well as providing a platform for
future-proof building control. P A
Collacott & Company
recommended the installation.
"Even though the previous BMS
and its peripheral equipment was
supplied by a different
manufacturer,we have been able to
use the sensors and cabling because
Priva controllers support any
temperature sensor, do not require
screened cabling and are equipped
to communicate with a range of
protocols,"says Geoff Collacott,
director of P A Collacott & Company.
Priva controllers are a direct
replacement for the older building
management system providing
monitoring and control of the
school's heating, cooling and
ventilation system, helping save
energy via its optimum start and
weather compensation programs.
Within the new language block, the
Priva BMS will be managing a natural
ventilation system and has been
interfaced with a DALI lighting
system,via its built-in BACnet over IP
capabilities. More articles from Priva Building Intelligence Limited: |
