Smart Buildings, Smarter HVAC:
How to Overcome Integration Challenges

There is a growing need for smarter, connected, and automated systems in buildings. Building Management Systems (BMSs) have made it possible for buildings to be more connected, remotely controlled, and energy-efficient. However, integrating Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems with BMSs remains a significant challenge for several reasons:

1

BMS-HVAC integration can be time-consuming

The search for a compatible gateway combined with different integration protocols and setup procedures specific to each HVAC manufacturer can cause delays in the design and planning stage.

2

Third-party support complications

During the installation phase, support procedures, often performed by a third-party entity (sometimes located in a different time zone and with limited availability), can create a bottleneck and hold up the project.

3

Integration verification

Once the commissioning of a BMS-HVAC integration is done, control and status verification testing is a critical final step. Unfortunately, this can be a lengthy, complex process.

seamless integration of HVAC systems with BMSs

Universal HVAC gateways

CoolAutomation HVAC gateways are cross-brand universal devices that are shipped pre-configured for your HVAC system brand. Designed and manufactured by HVAC and integration professionals, the gateways are plug & play devices that automatically detect the different HVAC system components- providing one unified interface for all compatible HVAC systems to connect to a BMS.

Native communication

CoolAutomation HVAC gateways communicate natively HVAC systems and support standard BMS (BAS) open protocols: BACnet MS/TP, BACnet IP (BTL certified) and Modbus RTU/Modbus TCP.

Advanced commissioning tools

CoolAutomation provides advanced commissioning tools for testing all connected units within the system. Leveraging real-time feedback from connected indoor HVAC units, you can efficiently test the installation functionality in minutes, without the need to move around the building to verify it. This simplifies the commissioning process, saving time and money.
