Seattle Life Sciences Building
Seattle, WA, United States

Seattle, Washington - Alexandria Real Estate EquitiesBuilt in 1976, this 7-story facility (192,290 sq. ft.) is home to medical practitioners as well as research and biotech firms with names like Cellnetix Pathology, Theraclone Sciences, the Infectious Disease Research Institute, Dharma Therapeutics, the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center, and more. The facility is owned by Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE), the international leader of, and largest owner of, real estate in the life sciences industry.


Seattle, Washington - Alexandria Real Estate Equities

The building's mechanical systems have been served by a proprietary control system for many years. In more recent years, ARE representatives have desired a more open approach. As a result, a BACnet automation system from Alerton has been in place for a portion of the building. Still more recently, however, building needs have grown beyond that for which the automation system was intended.

BACnet International members involved on the project include KMC Controls and Alerton .

CCN or BACnet controls? We're committed to both! 

 

As part of Carrier's ongoing commitment to state of the art building control systems and solutions, Carrier released the

i-Vu� Open Control System, which utilizes the BACnet open protocol standard for communications. This BACnet system is targeted toward meeting the expressed needs of Carrier's customers and also provides optimized system performance.

 

In addition, Carrier is continuing to support our Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) product line while also supporting the BACnet system in parallel. New and existing CCN installations will continue to be supported by development resources to ensure that CCN systems are sustainable for their lifecycle. Carrier is committed to maintaining CCN systems and will continue to invest in ensuring that CCN installations remain viable for our customers.

 

In the future, Carrier will be also be enabling our new i-Vu Open user interface to talk to both our BACnet controllers and our existing CCN controllers. Although the current i-Vu Open user interface talks only to our BACnet controllers, future software upgrades to the i-Vu Open product line will allow us to support sites that have both CCN and BACnet controllers.

Brilliant Touch

 

Reliable Controls� is pleased to announce the new Touch Screen Panel. Optimized to deliver high luminance and robust performance, the Touch Screen Panel (TSP) is a compact, fanless touch panel computer with an embedded Windows operating system ideal for Web browser, kiosk, and all other HMI touch applications.

 

The centerpiece of this product line is a 15" Panel-PC. Reliable Controls� spent a significant amount of time researching touch screens and we are confident that this product works very well with RC-Studio� 2.0. The TSP also comes with a 7-year service life from the manufacturer, which is to say it will not be phased out by the manufacturer for 7 years. Most consumer-based touch screen products are supported for less than a year. The manufacturer's warranty is two years. The TSP can also be purchased with an installed copy of RC-Studio� 2.0, at a discounted price. A 4-point VESA 75 mounting bracket for the TSP is an optional accessory.

Viconics June Cornerstones ImageViconics is Making Building Control Retrofits Easy and Profitable!

Traditionally, upgrading existing fan coil line-voltage thermostats was expensive, complicated and had a poor return on investment. Extra components to upgrade (relays, transformers, controllers, sensors and network wiring) quickly dismissed many proposals. Fan coils remained controlled by stand-alone thermostats with little capacity for energy savings.

Now, the new Viconics retrofit solution changes all that! Our simple solution makes control retrofits easy and profitable by eliminating the need for extra components. You can use set point limitations, advanced occupancy routines, central scheduling and other functions offered by Building Automation Systems. The Viconics VTR7300 controllers are a cost-effective solution that increases your return on investment while improving building comfort.

VTR7300 controllers are available in both Network and Network Ready models and offer BACnet compatibility. They use existing thermostat wiring; can use an optional Integrated PIR motion sensor and optional wireless window and door switches. This retrofit solution is easy to integrate into many of today's Building Automation Systems by your favorite BAS contractor and opens new profitable opportunities in the Hospitality, Commercial, Healthcare, Government and Educational facilities markets.

For more Information on our latest retrofit solution, partners and technology sites please visit us at www.viconics.com or to speak with one of our sales representative send us and e-mail at [email protected] or call us at (800) 563-5660.
