Canada,
December 10th, 2009 – Distech Controls, a leading
provider of building automation solutions, is expanding its
product offering, providing customers with a complete line
of BACnet controllers. Starting in spring 2010, the company
will offer a total of 23 BACnet® products ranging from
Application Specific Controllers and Advanced Building Controllers
to the new Allure EC-Smart-Vue configurable communicating
sensors.
The company has taken engineering innovation
to a higher level by making its BACnet products exceptionally
easy to use by integrators. For example, there are several
"plug and play" features to help reduce installation
costs and commissioning time. For specifying engineers, the
products in the new BACnet line comply with the ASHARE BACnet
Standard and will be BTL listed when released in spring 2010.
Building owners and users will appreciate the user-friendly,
icon-driven interface of the new EC-Smart-Vue. EC-Smart-Vue’s
innovative ECO-Vue icon promotes user energy-conscious behavior
by graphically reproducing, in real-time, the impact of users’
decisions on their environment.
The new line integrates Distech Controls'
wireless and battery-less technology by delivering “out-of-the-box”
wireless capability. Not only does this provide unprecedented
flexibility, it is an important money saving benefit for end
users.
Distech Controls has leveraged its extensive
experience with LONWORKS® products to create a genuinely
open system. The company's building automation line of products
features a common network management tool as well as a graphical
user interface for both LONWORKS and BACnet. EC-gfxProgram
software is a common programming tool that enables portability
of engineered application programs between Distech Controls
LONWORKS and BACnet controllers. This feature saves valuable
time for Distech Controls’ System Integrator partners.
Comments Ahmed Hirani, Distech Controls'
Executive Vice-President, Sales and Marketing, "With
the launch of the complete BACnet product line, our company
moves to the forefront of open building automation solutions.
We are both pleased and proud that Distech Controls' BACnet
VAV controller (ECB-VAV model) coupled with our "Open-to-Wireless"
technology was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Building
Automation Products category at the 2010 AHR Expo Innovation
Awards. The Distech Controls team will be at the January 25-27,
2010 AHR Expo to present our award winning technology."
