| Upper River Valley Hospital
Waterville, NB, Canada  The Upper River Valley Hospital is a 70 bed health care facility located in Waterville New Brunswick Canada. The Hospital was built using LEED strategies and achieved LEED Silver status.
The facility has its own well water field to supply both potable and non potable water reservoirs. The rain water and water used in the reverse osmosis water purifying systems is captured and used in the non potable reservoirs. The non potable reservoirs can be filled by the well field and via the recovery system. The BMS system by user defined levels in the non potable reservoir can allow the levels to drop if there is an expected rain fall thus alleviating the use of the well field when rain fall is expected.
The facility also has its own waste water treatment plant. The main building is oriented to take advantage of natural lighting. Patient rooms have large windows allowing the natural light into the space. The main mechanical systems utilize tried and true control strategies which keep energy consumptions to a minimum.

Using the BASrouter with a Honeywell Spyder Controller
 The BASrouter provides a simple, cost-effective method to attach Honeywell Spyder BACnet MS/TP controllers to BACnet/IP without the need of a building controller. This allows Spyders to reside on the building's Ethernet network without the need to provide home-run fieldbus wiring to a head-end. Spyder controllers are frequently used for both VAV and unitary applications. Originally available as a LON device, they are also available as a BACnet MS/TP device and therefore can be easily integrated to BACnet/IP with the popular BASrouter. Contemporary Controls has recently published an application note to explain how this is accomplished. Learn more at http://www.ccontrols.com/enews/0113story2.htm.
