AutomatedBuildings.com – University implements EMS in older buildings

Posted July 1st 2010

“A DDC seemed like the only solution if we wanted to tie the older buildings into our EMS and BAS programs,” said Dillery. “But the commitment was too steep both in dollars and in the time and inconvenience of the actual installation. Not only would we have to open walls and ceilings for the rewiring, we would also have to badly disrupt the professional lives of the people in the building. The installation would take months. Plus, we couldn’t do it incrementally one or two floors at a time. Each building would have to be done as a complete project.”
