ABB Building Solutions Unveils New Digital Tools for System Integrators

AI solutions is capable of delivering 25 percent energy savings in first three months.

ABB Building Solutions will unveil a comprehensive ecosystem of digitally connected tools with data- driven insights to increase sales efficiency for System Integrators at the 2023 AHR Expo in Atlanta, GA. The digital automation and controls solutions enable building owners, facility managers and installers to meet their sustainability, occupant comfort and safety, building energy-efficiency, and operating goals.

The tools provide custom actionable insights such as system design & product recommendations, ordering processing capabilities, and product documentation. On-demand product training for this advanced technology is available to ABB’s System Integrator partners in a format that meets their needs wherever they are.

“Our partners are turning to AI applications to manage, predict, and optimize their energy consumption as a way to increase efficiency and more importantly decrease costs,” said Ben Fuller, US Building Solutions Sales Leader. “The digital ecosystem of tools that we are able to provide, leverages data for operational efficiency, electrification, and automation.”

Additional ABB solutions at AHR Expo include:

• The new FBTi Series of cost-effective IP enabled BACnet® controllers designed to cover applications from Fan Coil Units, Chilled Beams, Heat Pumps and Roof Top Units
• ABB Ability™ Efficiency AI, the universal artificial intelligence solution that uses existing data to optimize HVAC control, delivering energy savings within a building space, of up to 25 percent in first three months
• A proposed architecture controllers designed to comply with the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements for UL 864 UUKL 10th Edition Smoke Control
• The newly released FBXi-8R8 designed as an integration platform and natively supports the routing of either BACnet MS/TP to BACnet/IP or Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP without the need for gateways or additional hardware.

ABB Building Solutions is also announcing the release of AeroCT, a free Wi-Fi application that works with ABB controllers. System Integrators can choose information that is relevant for tuning and configuring stock or custom strategies they have created. Setpoints, overrides of hardware, schedules, and alarms can be accessed for ease of commissioning and installation checkout through latest iOS and Google phone app. AeroCT compliments AeroBT by providing a deployment and commissioning process from the space thermostat to connected controller initiated by point-to-point checkout and system validation. This improves technical resource efficiency on job sites.

In 2022 ABB launched Efficiency AI, focusing on building data, analytics, and energy efficiency. Less than one-year later, ABB Building Solutions has strengthened its foundations for enabling new revenue streams for System Integrators, energy savings for facility managers and building owners, as well as digitized technology for consulting engineers.
