[Tfug] HVAC control systems?

[Paul Steinbach]

Sam Levitz has taken over a large warehouse (yes, it is Prince and I-10) 
where some of the HVAC systems are controlled by an older Teletrol 
Integrator 186 Communications Server.  This seems to be a common system 
for large buildings to save energy.  Googling on this reveals that it 
uses an open standard called BACNet for communication.  There even seems 
to be some SourceForge work on BACNet.  Unfortunately Teletrol does not 
seem to have a vendor in the area.

Does anyone on the list have experience with computer-controlled HVAC 
using BACNet, particularly Teletrol?  Does anyone know of a vendor in 
the area that can set up BACNet and Teletrol?  I would like to get this 
working as a pilot to see if the cost justifies the savings.
