We're excited to share the good news! 🎉 This spring, the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) was awarded two significant grants from the California Energy Commission! Our team is honored to be supporting them, working alongside other contributors including the California Institute for Energy and Environment, TRC Companies, Inc., Arup, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, the University of Notre Dame, and the team at CBE. The project we will be involved in will advance "the adoption of personal comfort devices by creating and testing new products, including a hub and ecosystem to connect them and also to link with building control systems." You can learn more about this exciting initiative here - https://lnkd.in/grtA_h7K Read more about both projects the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) is working on through this grant and more here - https://lnkd.in/geCZmaZM #normalsoftare #data #buildingsystems #innovation #decarbonization #facilitymanagement #zerocarbon #occupationalcomfort #builtenvironment

Did you know that Normal Framework software offers advanced support for BACnet, helping to provide an innovative solution for your building portfolio? ❓ But first of all, what is BACnet? BACnet is a protocol-enabling communication between devices about critical building operations such as temperatures, setpoints, and schedules. Think of it as a universal computer language allowing different systems to "talk" to each other effectively, typically over a network. ❗ And why is BACnet important? Standardized in the early 90s, BACnet has become a cornerstone for major HVAC vendors and other domains like lighting, access control, and transport. As an open protocol, it provides extensive data access without additional costs, making it essential for sophisticated building management. 📊 It all sounds great, but there are challenges using BACnet for building data! Despite its advantages, BACnet’s low-level nature can overwhelm users with massive amounts of data—often tens of thousands of points per building. Contextualizing this data for practical applications is challenging since BACnet offers limited information about what’s being measured. Additionally, its non-IP protocol structure can perplex many IT departments. 💡 So, how does Normal Framework enhance BACnet integration? Normal Framework is meticulously designed to excel in both BAS and IT/Cloud environments. We go beyond basic BACnet support by implementing obscure protocol features, ensuring you reap maximum benefits. Our solutions include... ✅ User-Friendly Management Console | Simplifies the complex protocol for seamless user interaction. ✅ IT-Friendly Features | Incorporates built-in encryption and gateways to popular protocols. ✅ Developer-Friendly APIs | Facilitates easy integration with other products, enhancing overall functionality. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into how Normal Framework revolutionizes building systems with BACnet integration in future posts! Want to learn what Normal can do for you?
