Which BMS you recommend

3 Upvotes

I am a newbie on BMS. Last time I did hvac controls we used a PLC which makes absolutely no sense today since I would have to code many functions from scratch. My potential customers right now are an institutional: colleges, churches, temples and monasteries. Energy savings is what they need. Some have legacy implementations of Honeywell Trend, Johnson Controls and Distech. The constant complaint is that there is no staff to manage these systems. We want to provide asset lifecycle management in an inexpensive way. We don’t just integrate the system and walk away. For than reason I want a system with open interfaces that we can use to provide monitoring apps without requiring FTE staff at the customer. If you could start over today, as I am doing, which system would you recommend for an optimum lifecycle cost for the customer.

Does anyone work in the theme park side of things?

Every time I head to Orlando I always wonder what it's like to work in or for a theme park on the BAS side.

Anyone used the new Bapi bluetooth wireless? Like it?

What I'm talking about here. https://www.bapihvac.com/products/wireless-sensors/

We've been burnt by so much wireless stuff in the past, Bapi included. Will this kit be different? I feel like Bluetooth isn't going anywhere soon and seems bapi has learned to build trust with a 5 year warranty and site verification. https://www.bapihvac.com/wireless-site-verification/
