HVAC Controls, Building Automation, and Instrumentation

a. All HVAC systems to be monitored and controlled by the University’s building automation system (BAS).

Include all necessary field hardware, and related computer software in all Construction Contracts. The goal is for every building to have a single brand, uniform, control system with access to the entire building



from one front end. If a project will replace only a portion of the building controls, the spec will call for the new controls to match any existing controls that meet University standards. Any approved vendor may submit a bid, but if they do not have any existing controls in the building they will need to replace ALL existing along with the new project controls to keep the system consistent. a. All communicating DDC devices - controllers (supervisory, programmable, configurable, etc) to be from one of the three approved expanding vendor systems: Trane Tracer, Johnson Controls Metasys, and

Distech EC-NET (designed with NiagaraAX). No other brands will be accepted. They must be listed by the BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL).

b. Supervisory controllers must have a web-based interface, and allow for a “pass-through” software function to service the unit level controllers. c. All communicating field devices (including meters and controllers for power, water, and lighting and other building systems) to use the BACnet open protocol and be listed by the BACnet Testing Laboratories

(BTL). They must transmit across a local MS/TP bus (EIA-485), or use BACnet/IP across the campus

LAN. Packaged equipment and drives (for example chillers and boilers) should be ordered with a
