Travelers Towers

Green Building Automation installed hundreds of MACH-ProAir controllers in the Travelers Towers buildings to control the variable air volume systems. The MACH-ProAir includes an airflow sensor and onboard damper motor for integrated variable air volume control, eliminating the need for separate sensors and actuators and saving time, money, and space.

Today facility operators use RC-WebView, a  browser-based building management solution that combines the power of enterprise tools with a simple interface and connects the multiple independent control systems in the Travelers Towers in a single Enterprise Website. RC-WebView empowers users with scalable visibility and control at a glance.

Switches on each floor connect the combination Ethernet/optical-fibre network for the building automation system. Green Building Automation installed multiple MACH-ProCom, MACH-ProSys, MACH-ProView, and MACH-ProZone controllers throughout the facility and seamlessly integrated the buildings’ mechanical equipment—including new third-party boilers, pumps, and variable frequency drives as well as an existing chiller and cooling towers—using BACnet and Modbus, demonstrating the flexibility of the Reliable Controls system.

Facilitating a retrofit project in a project of this size is no easy feat, and Green Building Automation worked tirelessly to ensure the new easy-to-use building automation system improved energy efficiency at Travelers Towers. “We are very pleased with the results of this project and would highly recommend Green Building Automation and plan to use them on similar future projects,” says Gary Smiecinski, chief engineer with Newmark.
