Both Metalaire LonMark®- and BACnet-ready DDC controls are shipped from the factory, addressed and ready to install. This option offers an alternative to the old method of shipping controls to the factory to be wired and shipped to a jobsite for setup, which can result in extensive lead times and coordination issues, which costs time and money, says the company. The new method allows controls along with VAV units shipped programmed and ready to install, all within the shortest standard lead times in the industry, the company claims. The DDC controllers offered include both a BACnet and LON® option. This option provides VAV controls that can easily be integrated into the building operating system, saving time and labor. The VAV controllers provided by the company are manufactured by Siemens, providing dependability and proven performance.
