 Connect With Success
| The Bullitt Center
Seattle, Washington, United States
 Earth Day 2013 served as a backdrop for the official opening of a new facility, billed as the world's "greenest" and most energy efficient office building. A property owned by the nonprofit Bullitt Foundation, The Bullitt Center in Seattle, Washington, is a six-story, 50,000 square foot, $18.5 million office building located at the heart of the Central and Capitol Hill district intersection.
Nestled alongside commercial offices and apartments, The Bullitt Center is a chic commercial lease space unlike any other. The building incorporates so many state-of-the-art environmental and sustainability features that new city ordinances had to be drafted to accommodate them. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the possibility of a truly net-zero, self-sustaining design.
The facility was officially opened with all the pomp and circumstance one would expect for a project boasting many impressive "firsts" for a green site in the United States. The Bullitt Center is the first commercial office building in the U.S. to meet the requirements of the international Living Building Challenge (certification pending) and the first to collect rainwater and process it on-site for potable water use. Other notable features include an efficient, low-leakage shell, large windows, responsibly sourced FSC wood products, on-site rainwater collection, and on-site waste processing.

For more information about Contemporary Controls, please click here. BASrouterLX Gains More Diagnostic FeaturesContemporary Controls' high-performance BACnet® router, the  BASrouterLX adds to its advanced features two new diagnostic features that include BBMD logging and Slave Proxy logging. Often it can be difficult to debug BBMD systems and communications with slave devices. Using the BBMD logging feature permits the viewing of information captured from BBMD communications, through the BASrouterLX webpage.
This feature helps diagnose problems with the BBMD setup by viewing the addresses of all FDR or BBMD devices that send broadcast messages through the BASrouterLX and timestamps related to these messages. This new feature is helpful when diagnosing BBMD configurations on all FDR and BBMD devices.
Enabling the new Slave Proxy logging feature allows viewing of logging information for the BASrouterLX's communication with slave devices from its webpage. When auto-slave is enabled you can view the BASrouterLX attempts at communicating with slave devices on the network and any issues during the discovery process. You can also view any communication issues with manually entered slaves. Please click here for more information about the BASrouterLX.
