Alerton Building Suite 3 Includes Energy Dashboard and More; Supports LEED, Green Initiatives
 

Redmond, WA (August 31, 2011)-Building automation pioneer Alerton (www.alerton.com) today launched Alerton Building Suite 3, providing building owners with a solution that creates energy awareness of their LEED and other green initiatives for any building. The third major release of its flagship front-end software for building automation systems and energy management, Alerton Building Suite 3 combines Alerton's proven Envision for BACtalk(R) and WEBtalk(TM) software as well as the engineering tools VisualLogic(R) and BACtalk Builder. The release includes enhancements to BACtalk Builder and VisualLogic, as well as improved reporting capabilities, a new software licensing platform and an optional energy dashboard with configuration tools.

 

"With a touchscreen or in kiosk mode, the Alerton Energy Dashboard draws a building owner, their tenants and visitors right to the heart of the building's operations with its customizable, interactive displays," said Phil Smith, product manager for Alerton Building Suite. "Building owners can quickly update and maintain the dashboard with only minimal instruction, and use it to support their efforts to increase energy efficiency, including providing up-to-the minute information about the building's energy use and even raising awareness of a tenant's own energy consumption and demand."

  

Alerton Building Suite 3 combines the power of both Envision for BACtalk and WEBtalk, providing a comprehensive building management solution that is scalable to any application. The Alerton Energy Dashboard enables up to 150 simultaneous users to view live, real-time building data at a glance, providing them with information about the building's efforts in LEED and green initiatives. Building owners can define a variety of dashboard data to display, including information from as many as 50 buildings, with views of consumable resources such as electricity, gas, oil, water and more. Users may also configure the dashboard to show web-integrated weather and forecast data, green facts, building directory information, campus maps, real-time traffic, advertising and other facility-specific information.

  

Taking advantage of all the latest features of Visio(R) 2010, VisualLogic 3 enhances the fastest programming tool in the market. Increased reporting capabilities in Alerton Building Suite 3 enable users to instantly generate and print a number of new setup and commissioning reports and also drop in custom reports. These reports can be instantly printed and exported in multiple formats to meet a user's unique reporting and data mining needs.

  

For more information about Alerton Building Suite 3, contact your local Alerton dealer at http://www.alerton.com/s/Dealer_Locator.

  

Alerton's Wireless Version of VLD-362 Pinpoints Energy Savings with Occupancy-based Sensing  

Redmond, WA (September 6, 2011)-Building automation pioneer Alerton (alerton.com) today debuted a wireless version of its VisualLogic® Display (VLD), a fully programmable VisualLogic controller with built-in humidity and temperature sensors and configurable touchscreen display. The VLD-362W (wireless) features an integrated wireless receiver that communicates to different combinations of sensors for occupancy sensing and detecting whether doors and/or windows are open or closed. The embedded wireless receiver in the VLD-362W enables owners to efficiently install and set up room sensors that help detect energy loss-even potential security breaches-through open doors and windows. Like the original VLD, the VLD-362W includes built-in temperature and humidity sensors, 3 additional universal inputs, 6 relay outputs and 2 analog outputs; it also includes 11 preloaded, pre-configured DDC applications for out-of-the-box use. The wireless receiver supports and communicates with up to eight door/window sensors and up to three PIR sensors per VLD for occupancy sensing. The VLD-362W controller is ideal for any project that requires a less invasive device that provides energy-saving, occupancy-based HVAC control with completely programmable DDC logic. 

  

"Besides saving wiring time and costs, the wireless VLD gives building owners the flexibility to place passive infrared (PIR) sensors anywhere they want for the best coverage of the monitored space," said Kevin Clinger, product manager for the VLD. "The preloaded applications that come with the VLD enable out-of-the-box setup, energy savings and occupancy-based sensing."

VLD controllers communicate over an MS/TP LAN so it operates as a fully functioning BACnet controller and easily integrates with the building automation system. The VLD-362W integrates seamlessly with the Alerton system and is an especially ideal solution to tie in portable school classrooms or to control hotel rooms, where the VLD-362W can interface with the hotel reservation system. The powerful VLD can also operate as a stand-alone device and provides modes of operation that enable users to program control strategies based on occupancy or schedules.

VLDs are ideally suited for specific and common applications such as hotel, class and conference rooms, and are the perfect solution for any installation that would benefit from energy savings, occupancy- based setbacks. Applications include monitoring a balcony's sliding door and mini-bar door in a hotel, school classrooms with multiple doors and operable windows. Any room used for only a part of its scheduled day can benefit from occupancy control-this includes conference rooms, portable classrooms or a school gymnasium.

In addition, as many states revise their standard building codes with more stringent energy standards-such as those found in California's Title 24, the California Building Standards Code-Alerton's VLD-362W enables customers to comply with increasingly adopted occupancy-based sensing mandates.

The VLD is available through authorized Alerton dealers. For product ordering and technical information, contact your local Alerton dealer, call Alerton at 425.869.8400 or visit www.alerton.com.

Trend's IQeco Product Family Expands

Redmond, WA (September 1, 2011)-Trend Control Systems USA (www.trend-americas.com) today debuted several new products into the Trend IQeco Product Family. Released today were updated versions of the IQeco39, IQecoVAV P and IQecoVAV P A controllers and three new IQeco controller variants: IQeco31, IQeco35 and IQeco38. Also included in this debut is the release of the RD-WMB, a room display sensor that displays room temperature, fan speed, occupancy and much more. The IQeco system release includes a version updated to 963 Supervisor, Trend's intuitive, real-time user interface for the BMS that enables users to monitor equipment or building services and change the way the building is controller through the 963 graphical displays.  

The first version of IQeco39, IQecoVAV P and IQecoVAV P A controllers were released at the end of 2010. However, due to the ability of these controllers to cost effectively pick up point count for any sized installation, a need arose for more flexibility, more options for point counts, and a room display. Trend's answer to the need was updated versions of the original IQeco39, IQecoVAV P and VAV P A and the release of the IQeco31, IQeco35 and  IQeco38 controllers giving a range in total I/O from 10 to 14 allowing for multiple pieces of building equipment to run and operate from a single, centralized system: 963 Supervisor.

 "The new IQeco variants make it possible for our Trend Technology Centers to find the perfect solution for any building based on point combinations," said Todd Cowles, Director of Sales-Americas. "Having options in I/O count gives building owners choice as well as financial savings by being able to choose exactly what's needed for their building."

The IQeco family of products is a low-cost, IQ system-compatible solution that rounds out Trend's BACnet product line. Variance in I/O gives more options and flexibility for a building and the total cost of a project. The variance broadens the applications and allows for a more centralized and efficient Building Energy Management System.

All Trend products are available through authorized Trend Technology Centers (TTCs). For product order and technical information, contact your local TTC, call Trend at 425.897.3900 or visit www.trend-americas.com.
