The Bert Solution
Bert’s powerful wireless plug load solution puts you in control
The Bert Solution is designed for commercial buildings with big plug load requirements: thousands of devices spread across many buildings; hardwired loads like water heaters, air conditioners, refrigeration equipment and air handling units; projectors, vending machines and other sensitive devices; secure Wi-Fi networks; existing Building Automation Systems
Bert delivers big. Large load management. Innovative intelligent controls for power threshold and temperature. Advanced wireless networking support including: WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, 802.11 a/b/g/n, support for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. BAS Integration with Bert BACnet/IP Gateway lets BAS control all building loads.

Software
Standard Software
Bert’s core measurement, analysis and plug load control functionality saves money and improves building efficiency. Devices are turned off nights, weekends and holidays when buildings are empty using the existing Wi-Fi network. At the same time, Bert continuously collects real-time building and energy/temperature measurement data.
MEASUREMENT
Real-time energy usage data and historical power usage by hour, day, month, year, and user-defined time-period
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive reporting system analyzes energy consumption for schedule optimization and savings verification
CONTROL
Scheduling logic for mass control; buildings, groups and devices operate using unique schedules based on occupancy hours
Intelligent Controls
Bert’s innovative intelligent control software manages devices using power thresholds and high/low temperature set points.
Bert’s modular architecture means users only pay for Intelligent Control software on devices that need the additional controls.
THRESHOLD
Protect sensitive equipment such as compressors and projectors from turning off before completing their shutdown cycle
TEMPERATURE
High/low set points provide temperature-based control while remotely monitoring and recording temperature data throughout the building
Wireless Networking
Network Environments
Bert leverages the existing Wi-Fi network and delivers the advanced wireless connectivity commercial buildings expect. The Bert Plug Load Management solution offers a choice of Standard and Enhanced Network environments. Users select the appropriate Network Environment based on their current or planned wireless network technology.
