Jacksonville, FL—S&P USA Ventilation Systems LLC (S&P USA), a leading provider of HVAC air movement and ventilation solutions, is proud to announce the launch of our latest accessory: the BACnet Fan Control. The BACnet Fan Control offers a simple, low-cost solution for connecting S&P USA ERVs with a building management system (BMS) or building automation system (BAS).
The easy-to-operate, plug-and-play BACnet Fan Control’s installation saves up to 50% in labor/material costs versus adding an I/O connection for ERV BMS monitoring/control for commercial building indoor air quality (IAQ). The BACnet Fan Control is a custom-engineered, BACnet MS/TP protocol device designed for facility managers and installation/service contractors that prefer a quick, simple BACnet interface.
What Sets the BACnet Fan Control Apart?
The BACnet Fan Control offers users a much easier and less expensive solution compared to traditional methods for connecting ERVs to a BMS, which can cost thousands of dollars. This simple wall-mount controller allows the user to turn an S&P USA ERV on and off either through the keypad, through a digital input with a remote switch, or through a BMS with BACnet MS/TP. With this solution, customers can easily and affordably meet their needs for improving indoor air quality without sacrificing functionality.
In addition, our controllers are BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) listed, ensuring the unit will be compatible with other BACnet systems, and allowing for a seamless connection between ERVs and the BMS.
