SOLUTION FOR APOGEE P2 INTEGRATION

---

BACnetP2 at a Commercial Site in Washington, D.C:

USA Site 28

Overview:

In November 2022, BACnetP2 was installed on a site in Washington DC. The client heard about us from one of our USA distributors and then contacted us for a demonstration. After the initial meeting the solution was presented to their customer, who had a site with a 50/50 mix of medium and old equipment (1 to 2 decades). They were impressed with the results and decided to move forward with the project.

Site Statistics

Panels: 30
TECs: 185
50/50 mix of medium and old equipment (1 to 2 decades)

Considerations:

The project had a number of considerations, such as:

• The customer needed to upgrade their system.
• The cost of the traditional upgrade path was prohibitive.
• The proposed solution was to change their system to ABB Tridium, however, the rip-and-replace route would have been too costly.
• The customer wanted to retain their existing equipment where possible.

Solution:

Three months after the initial demo, the client implemented our gateway at their customer’s site. BACnetP2 allowed the customer to retain all of their existing equipment by providing integration between their existing Apogee system and ABB Tridium.

Result:

The customer is very happy with the results BACnetP2 has provided. Through the implementation of BACnetP2, the customer was able to avoid the cost related to upgrading to the new Desigo system and the cost of ripping and replacing their old system. The site now has an updated interface and graphics which has improved user experience.
