Recent studies approximate that only 50% of the commercial floor space in the USA is under the control of a building management system (BMS); while education facilities are about 55%, health care facilities 38%, and lodging facilities 26%. These are existing facilities! Which makes competitive retrofitting and renovations the largest and most sought after markets in the HVAC and controls industry. Local and remote control, energy savings, and monitoring solutions need to be specific, modular, and be accompanied by an accurate ROI narrative. Having the right set of product tools — and taking full advantage of the synergies the Internet, LANs, Bacnet, ZigBee, and EnOcean technologies offer will be paramount to survival. Viconics Wireless HVAC Building Network Solutions and Can2go Wireless retrofits for the light-commercial and mid-market buidings are serious product tools to consider.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
