Merrill Lynch implemented an OEM version of GENESIS32 to monitor and control HVAC, lighting, energy, security, and fire systems across eight office buildings and four assembly buildings. The system manages four boiler, chiller, and ice plants that shift energy use by freezing water at night and melting ice during peak daytime rates. Over 1,000 graphical screens provide operators with 3D equipment views, animated process displays, alarms, and historical trending for the 1.8 million square foot campus.

Key takeaways

GENESIS32 HMI/SCADA deployed for campus-wide building automation across 12 buildings
