Secure & Scalable Advanced Device Control
We believe the best building automation system is the one you already own.
Whether it is a traditional building automation system or an Internet of Things (IoT) energy solution, our software integration gateways let users securely and seamlessly integrate plug loads into existing energy management solutions.
How BERT Plug Load Control Works
Manage Plug Loads
Lower energy expenses controlling loads with occupancy schedules, power threshold levels and temperature set points.
Centralized User Interface
Use BERT Analysis, BAS or Web-services UI to control plug loads and monitor building data.
Collect Building Data
Monitor and trend real-time, granular device, measurement and temperature data for improved efficiency and comfort.
Plug and Miscellaneous Electric Loads
Uncontrolled loads are connected to BERT hardware based on load size.
BERT controls loads ranging from 120V/15A to 277V/20A.
BERT Keeps Plug Load Projects on Track
BERT’s support team has the resources and expertise to successfully manage even the most complicated plug load control project. Our turnkey installation plan includes sophisticated data models and cloud-based audit and installation tools that keep partners and users updated throughout the project.
We don’t turn a system over until every BERT is scheduled and the post-installation savings report is completed. In most cases, projects are completed within 6–8 weeks.
Bert takes responsibility for the entire project:
- Preliminary Savings
- Investment Grade Audit
- Pre-Installation Planning
- Hardware & Software Installation
- Integration Services
- Scheduling & Training
- Measurement & Verification
BERT delivers greater savings and faster paybacks because our hardware handles both hardwired and individual plug loads. Not only does BERT control more loads per building, but, more importantly, larger loads represent a significant portion of a building’s overall plug load. Controlling items such as air purifiers, PTAC/window AC units, hot water heaters, vending machines, exhaust fans and air handling units can generate payback periods measured in weeks – not years.
