Simon
Property Group, Inc. (SPG)
With over 245 million square feet of leasable property,
Simon Property Group was seeking a solution which would allow them
to leverage the most innovative and advanced technology in Building
Automation fully integrated with Automated Meter Reading. Historically,
Simon Property Group has manually read thousands of check meters
in order to measure common area, tenant, and heating & cooling
plant energy usages. Simon had inherited legacy systems as they
expanded their portfolio of properties. Many of these legacy systems
needed significant technical updates and had limited support options.

Newark Public Schools
Newark, New Jersey
The initial project was 3 Schools in 3 different
locations. The challenge was the existing building automation systems
(BAS) in all three schools consisted of Johnson Metasys (JCI) controls,
with a Johnson NCM in each school. The customer was disenchanted
with the incumbent BAS vendor and frustrated with the lack of access
to the valuable information in the BAS system. NPS wanted all JCI
data to be available, to read-write, in native IT standards (XML~HTTP~TCP/IP).
The challenge was to “open up” the system. |

SunTrust
Office Building
St. Petersburg, FL
A 5-story, 50,000 square foot class A office
building located in downtown St. Petersburg. The Managing Partner
was searching for a way to upgrade the building’s
existing HVAC controls which were beginning to fail, but still had
elements which represented a substantial original investment and
continued to function marginally. The existing service agency saw
the infrastructure as basically useless and recommending replacing
it in total, including the VAV terminals and controls, air handling
controllers and chiller controls. The original Trane Tracer 100
system was connected to sixty-three VAV terminals, five air handling
units and a chiller with a pumping system. The air-handling units
were non-operational, no one could operate the existing Trane control
system, including the existing servicing agency.
The customers goals were to leverage the existing assets (multiple
BAS manufacturers, BAS, lighting and security), as the cost of replacing
all the VAV terminals with their controls would have been prohibitive
and the building disruption was of significant concern to Mr. Wallace.
His tenants were uncomfortable, sometimes due to equipment failure,
and he knew his energy bills were high. He realized the building
was out of control and had to take action. |

| Energizer
Battery Manufacturing
Asheboro, North Carolina
For Energizer Battery Manufacturing, Inc. the
decision to install Richards-Zeta controls over several other
name-brand manufactures just seemed to make sense.
Richards-Zeta’s Products, Solutions and Business were compared
to several other well-known and “name-recognized”
BAS manufactures controls: competition Richards-Zeta welcomes.
System requirements included the capability of supporting the
newest building expansion, provide real-time power monitoring,
historical data and trending, and be capable of expansion, to
include: fire/life safety systems, security, digital video, etc.
Other requirements included ease of programming, user- friendliness,
a non-proprietary system and a truly ‘Open’ System
