Building automation systems (BAS) are a combination of varying equipment and devices, all of which communicate across a local or broader network. The way in which these devices communicate is called the protocol, either open or proprietary. This blog considers the benefits of open protocols.

To help you prepare you for the changes to come in the years ahead, Resource Data Management (RDM) take a look at what we predict to be the major HVACR trends that will shape the future.

Resource Data Management (RDM) take a look at what the latest launch of Amazon Go means for the future of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) contractors and suppliers in the retail industry.

Refrigeration, HVAC and building management system products are available with a range of different communication technologies to fit the unique project needs and requirements of each project. Some communication technologies are more appropriate in different situations. We have outlined some of the basic advantages and disadvantages to each technology in this post.

Around the world and across a variety of industries, more and more HVACR devices are coming ‘online’ and organisations are more and more frequently moving away from the ‘set and forget’ models of energy infrastructure that have dominated in the HVACR industries for decades.

The Cold Chain is the name given to the refrigerated supply chain required for moving perishable goods – food and medical products primarily – from production or field to market and consumption. For food, this includes the processing, transportation, storage, and sale/display of products before they reach the end consumer. Without the cold chain, perishable goods can only be transported and sold as far as they can travel without spoiling or developing harmful bacteria.

A wireless mesh network is one that is made up of separate inter-connected nodes that organise to form a communicating mesh topology through radio. In control and monitoring infrastructure, nodes are made up of adapters, interface modules, sensors and access points, which in turn enable devices to connect to each other and the World Wide Web, if desired. Nodes can be fixed or mobile, providing a diverse range of applications.

The DMTouch from Resource Data Management comes with a host of energy saving and management features built in and additional advanced features available as an option. For building management projects the DMTouch can be configured to monitor metered consumables like water, gas, and electricity. We also offer several energy savings features for temperature control applications, and a DMTouch can have a range of these options activated simultaneously.

10-40% of current energy expenditure could be saved by the world’s leading food retailers. Using modernised products and methods, it is easy to save on energy costs and ultimately help contractors and retailers boost profits. Learn about the current state of play, where energy is used/could be saved, and the products required to save energy.
