HOW TO SPEC INTEGRATED AUTOMATION

BIDDING DIV. 25

Designing and bidding an IoT and Integrated Platform isn’t what it used to be.  Traditional controls contractors used to bid Division 23, and focused only on the building’s HVAC and control systems. Now that most building systems are connected to the Internet, a need for a better understanding of networks and the different network solutions available is crucial to our industry. Integrators and MSIs are now expected to be familiar with bidding Division 25 – Integrated Automation. This change in our industry introduces several challenges, such as:

  • Integrating more systems
  • OT Networks
  • Working with IT
  • Cybersecurity
  • Specification standardization
  • And more

Join us on our webinar with Greg Fitzpatrick, CxA, Business Development IoT and Integration of Cochrane Supply, and Ryan Hughson, Strategic Solutions Manager at Optigo Networks. We’ll walk you through the key issues of bidding on Division 25, and what skills you can and should bring to the table as an integrator.

Flickering lights. Erratic heating. Slow or missing data. One tiny little strand of wire can cause big problems on your MS/TP networks.
Join Ryan Hughson, Optigo Networks’ Manager of Building Solutions, and Monica McMahen, Marketing Manager, as they detail the ins and outs of duplicate BBMDs.

Join Ryan Hughson and Monica McMahen as they discuss circular networks. How does a circular network happen, and how can you recognize it? How do you fix it, and how is it identified in Visual BACnet? All of this in less than 10 minutes!

On September 10, 2016, Optigo Networks launched Visual BACnet, the advanced visualization tool for Building Automation System (BAS) service providers. One year later, how has Visual BACnet evolved?
How do duplicate networks happen? What can you do to spot duplicate networks in Visual BACnet, and how can you prevent them in the future?
Getting regular captures of your building network is crucial to understanding its behaviour. Without daily or weekly insights into your network health, you can’t possibly begin to improve it.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the rising star of the building automation and security industry. Cameras, access control, lighting and HVAC devices can be powered and communicate on the network with just a single Ethernet connection.

When Australian energy analytics company BUENO Systems used to start working with a new building, they would have no idea what was happening on the building’s network.

Operational technology (OT) — including HVAC, lighting, and security — is regularly managed by IT departments alongside computers and phones.
