IMCOM LonWorks (registered trademark) Building Automation Systems Implementation Strategy

摘要

Army Installations often expand their use of digital control systems for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning and other mechanical and electrical building systems on a building-by-building basis. Associated control systems are installed under separate contracts by different contractors resulting in intra-system incompatibilities. The implementation of multi-vendor Open Building Automation Systems (BASs) is meant to overcome such incompatibilities; however BASs can present their own technical and administrative (including contractual) challenges. This report defines a methodology for the development and execution of a basewide Open Building Automation System (BAS) implementation plan based on LONWORKS (registered trademark) technology and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) communications standard 709.1 where the BAS consists of a basewide Utility Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) that is interoperable with multi-vendor LONWORKS (registered trademark) direct digital control (DDC) systems.
