Interface to Carrier CCN Device Controls.

Case Study:
|
|
A 40-year old, multi-story, downtown building was being renovated and prepared for leased
office space to multiple tenants. The existing HVAC equipment and pneumatic
controls were to be replaced.
|
|
The new design called for new Carrier Vertical Packaged Units, one per floor, to be installed.
Then, as each floor was occupied, tenant build-out would included VAV terminals and DDC controls
to suit the floorplan.
|
|
The building automation system requirement was for a single system
to integrate HVAC control as well as security access control for each tenant.
An Andover Controls Continuum™ system was selected to meet these requirements and provide the
flexibilty for future expansion based on tenant needs. The Carrier Vertical Packaged Units
were equipped with factory installed controllers compatable with Carrier's Comfort Network™
(CCN).

Brings the Pieces Together ...
|
|
|
|
The PC workstation used for the Andover Cyberstation software was also equipped
with
to interface Continuum to the Carrier CCN controllers. Point information could then
flow easily between the two systems.
As the tenant finish work proceeded, the system was expanded to bring in the additional
unit and VAV terminal controllers neccessary on each floor. Occupancy schedule
control was coordinated between the packaged units and the terminals.
As a result, both the package unit controllers and the VAV terminal controllers were
brought together into a single system. The building manager was also able to
offer coordinated lighting control and card access control for each tenant over the same system.
