Introduction
• For now over a decade Tridium’s Niagara Framework has been
connecting HVAC systems together independent of manufacturer or
device protocol. As both an integration and development
platform, NiagaraAX can create boundless opportunities.
• Today’s facilities, whether an office building, a retail store, a
manufacturing facility, hospital, university or hotel, have more than
just HVAC systems; they contain a diverse range of devices and
equipment requiring integration and connectivity to the “building
information network”. As an enabling technology, the Niagara
Framework is ideally suited for getting any device or equipment
integrated and connected to this network.
• In this session we will look at a case study that takes integration
beyond HVAC to some unusual but equally important smart
devices. We will talk about the value of connectivity and information
from a new and innovative perspective.
