Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 03, 2014 -- Thanks to BACnet International Gold Member Reliable Controls the Red Deer, Alberta, Canada offices of Berry Architecture + Associates is now a success story for the BACnet Community to utilize as a resource. The once unoccupied Red Deer Bowladrome was transformed into a sustainable, LEED® Silver targeted facility as a result of the implementation to BACnet.
The networked hardware in the project included BACnet/IP communication and control of a third-party air handling unit, BACnet/MSTP communication of a third party humidifier, and BACnet/MSTP communication of all MACH-Air controllers to the MACH-ProWebSys. Features of the improved facility include lighting, heating, and ventilation zones; open spaces with natural light; motion sensors for energy reduction; and a green roof featuring a patio, local plants, butterfly gardens, bee boxes, hummingbird nests, herb/vegetable gardens, solar panels, and water collection.
