Two new features of Events2HVAC (v.1.5 and higher) permit users to automate switching between Events2HVAC schedules and backup building schedules in case of lost communication from the server.

Events2HVAC has several features specifically designed to increase confidence and allow flexibility in how facility managers choose to integrate their systems. Recently, Jim Urbanski, Energy Manager at Wicomico County Public Schools, described how he implemented Events2HVAC and tailored it to his specific needs.

When Jim Urbanski, Energy Manager at Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, participated in an online demonstration of Events2HVAC, he knew implementation would be easy. After studying the setup manual for just one hour, he began working and in just two days he had 160 rooms setup for automatic scheduling.

When choosing a building automation system or other equipment for your facility, we encourage you to consider systems that are BACnet enabled. Why? Two reasons: flexibility and future development.

v1.0.7 of Events2HVAC has been released.

At Savannah Christian Church in Savannah, GA, employees and church members are scheduling their own space using Dean Evans EMS^® Professional, and Events2HVAC is automatically controlling their HVAC systems so that air is conditioned appropriately only when rooms are in use. They are saving energy and labor, and the automation has freed the facility manager to focus on other responsibilities.

Jeff Goebel, Physical Plant Manager at Minnesota State University at Moorhead (MSUM), knew there had to be a better way. He wanted an easier way for his employees to control HVAC equipment across campus. He heard about a software solution called Events2HVAC at a conference and looked it up online. In May 2010, MSUM became a beta test site for the software which works as a bridge between room scheduling software and building control systems to automatically control equipment based on scheduled events. The results have been impressive.

Savannah Christian Church in Savannah, GA, has been beta-testing the Events2HVAC software since July, 2010. They have fully integrated 38 rooms in two of their worship facilities; and their room reservation system is now controlling their HVAC equipment througout the building. They plan to expand their use of the software to additional buildings in the near future.

We are looking for 2 beta test sites to be deployed in the next month.

Please contact Streamside Solutions if you have the following site characteristics:

1.  You are using a Dean Evans EMS product and have it installed at your site (not hosted).

2.  If you have one or more of the following building automation system networks:

a.  BACnet/IP
b.  Johnson Controls MSEA
c.  Proliphix Networked Thermostats

3.  You have a dedicated PC or server that can access the EMS database and the HVAC network.

Beta testers will get the use the software free during the test period and will have the opportunity to purchase licenses at a significantly reduced price.
