BERT CONNECT – BAS GATEWAY
Wireless BACnet BAS Integration for Plug Loads
BERT CONNECT gives customers the highly useful option of integrating plug and hardwired loads into BACnet/IP Building Automation Systems. Building operators can use the BAS UI to manage BERT device information, monitor and control energy usage, and view equipment summaries.
Each gateway can handle up to 500 Berts. Gateways can be installed in a centralized location or distributed throughout individual buildings.
BAS Collects Plug Load and Building Data
- Monitor and trend real-time electrical wattage, voltage and current draw from all plug loads and electrical circuits in a space
- BAS total function accumulates and trends kWh on a monthly, annual or lifetime basis
- Monitor, calibrate and trend real-time space temperature
- Monitor device communications health and status
Centralized Control of Plug Loads using BAS UI
- Manually power loads on/off
- BAS scheduler
- BAS Demand Response/Load Shedding
- Interlocking objects
- Programming logic
- Leverage Bert exclusive triggers: power threshold and temperature set points
BERT Connect Helps BAS Deliver Added Value
- View plug loads in context with other loads
- Add large distributed loads such as water heaters, AC units and PTAC units to existing load shedding or demand curtailment programs
- Turn loads and circuits off based on occupancy sensor input
- Adjust HVAC based on Bert temperature data
- Use alarms to alert facilities of warm electrical closets and occupant spaces
- Use alarms to generate alerts for excessive volts, amps and watts
- Use alarms to alert IT about poor Wi-Fi coverage areas and access point outages
