[GBlist] building control system for motorized windows

["Laurie Zimmerly" <lzimmerly@lzarch.com>]

Hello Listers -

We are implementing motorized operable windows into a design for a library
to promote natural ventilation/ cooling. The intension is for the operation
of the windows to be controlled by the Building Control System (BCS). The
BCS would monitor indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity levels, and the
HVAC equipment in order to optimize the opening and closing of the windows
to achieve thermal comfort. I am wondering if any of you out there can speak
on personal experiences with what BCS's you may have used, what type of
Commissioning was involved with the creation of the software to operate the
system, do's and don'ts you may have experienced, or any other pertinent
information.

Thank you for your help.

-Laurie Zimmerly
