Converged building systems can mean unified
energy management approaches, single point of control and powerful
tenant-friendly applications
Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON), a leading independent
control networking company for the Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT), today announced new capabilities for intelligently managing
lighting using popular Building Management Systems (BMS) via its
new LumInsight BACnet gateway. Part of the Lumewave by Echelon™
solution, LumInsight Desktop software offers a BACnet gateway to
address the growing desire of enterprise facilities managers to
control, manage, and monitor all their lighting devices and
sensors, indoor and outdoor, in an industry standard platform as
well as supports multiple building operations from a single
dashboard.

“BMS integration is the next evolution of the built environment
solution,” said Jose M. Varona, Associate Director of Energy
Management Systems, University of Miami “The integration is where
we gain not only a global view of the indoor and outdoor
deployment, but benefit from maintenance cost reductions, faster
response time for support issues, and access to a wider range of
emerging smart applications.”
Better energy and utilization efficiency, real-time consolidated
performance data, and lower costs are key factors driving building
owners to seek a system-wide integrated control solution. By using
the Echelon BACnet gateway, multiple facility networks — from
lighting to sensors — can converge into a single, unified energy
management system for insight into and control of building and
lighting systems. Then, as new requirements for advanced
applications are needed, such as space utilization and security
monitoring, or the need to respond to emerging opportunities
generated from Internet of Things (IoT), building proprietors will
be ready to expand with the BACnet LumInsight Desktop solution.
“Converging lighting systems with building controls reduces cost
and improves facility management, safety and customer satisfaction,
which is an end-goal of today's facility leaders,” said Dan
DeLong, President, Architectural Lighting Designs, Inc.
“When the facility management of a building, parking garage and
exterior lighting converge into one system, facility managers have
limitless control, and for the first time, can be proactive to any
changes that may arise. Echelon's new BACnet gateway demonstrates
how bridging building and lighting systems creates a more
functional and overall smarter system. From what I’ve seen so far
in this pilot, Echelon, once again, has created a solid solution
based on its deep building automation knowledge and controls
experience.”
The LumInsight BACnet gateway features a BACnet/IP interface
that is fully compliant with ISO/ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2012 standard. The
solution is in pilot at key customer sites and will ship this
summer.
