| | River Rock Casino Resort
Richmond, BC, Canada
 The River Rock Casino Resort complex was completed in August of 2005 and runs entirely on the BACnet® protocol. All MACH-Global™ controllers communicate over IP via a LAN belonging to the parent company, Great Canadian Casinos. BACnet IP is employed to communicate with a Trane BCU for chiller control.
The Reliable Control® MACH-System system coordinates cooling for a large chiller plant that consists of four chillers and a single heat harvester. There are 20 large, built-up AHUs dedicated to serve the casino and convention centre. The hotel suites are heated and cooled by 250 fan coils with independent control and adjustable guest setpoint using SMART-Sensor™ technology. Office and tenant space within the hotel is served by fan coils and VAV boxes.

 Control Solutions' BB2-3010 BACnet MS/TP to Modbus RTU gateway is now formally BTL Listed. In addition to BTL Listed, this economical gateway is UL-916 Listed and CE Marked. The BB2-3010 will map up to 315 Modbus registers into BACnet objects. Data flow can be bi-directional. The BB2-3010 can function as Modbus RTU master or slave, and also includes a BACnet client for querying other BACnet MS/TP devices.
Control Solutions recently updated the configuration tool software for BB2-3010. Users can now remotely configure the BB2-3010 anywhere in the world via any available BACnet IP router. The configuration tool connects to BACnet IP, or to Control Solutions' USB to MS/TP smart adapter. The configuration tool is intuitive and easy to use. Not only is the BB2-3010 the most economical MS/TP to Modbus RTU gateway available, it is the easiest to use. The BB2-3010 is ideal for connecting industrial equipment to building management networks. Examples include VFDs and power analyzers that often come equipped with Modbus RTU but not BACnet. The BB2-3010 will automatically poll Modbus devices and store a copy of Modbus registers for the BMS to query via BACnet. The BB2-3010 also supports COV subscriptions, and will initiate a COV notification upon change of Modbus register values.

HONEYWELL SMART GRID PROGRAM IN CALIFORNIA
RECEIVES ENERGY PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD
Southern California Chapter of Association of Energy Engineers
Honors Demand Response Project for Significant Energy Savings
Honeywell announced that the company's smart grid project with Custom Building Products won the " Energy Project of the Year" award from the Southern California Chapter of the Association for Energy Engineers (AEE). The Honeywell project provides Custom Building Products with precise control over how its Bell, Calif., manufacturing facility uses energy, enabling it to automatically respond to changing peak electricity prices and trim utility bills.
The award recognizes the project for its high level of substantiated savings, which will enable the work to pay for itself within an estimated five months. Custom Building Products, a manufacturer of supplies for the construction industry, offset the $80,000 total project cost with rebates from Southern California Edison (SCE) and support from a Smart Grid Investment GrantHoneywell received from the Department of Energy in late 2009. Those funds lowered the out-of-pocket expenses to less than $3,000. And Custom Building Products expects to realize $6,000 in annual energy savings due to the upgrades and the resulting enhanced control.
