ASHRAE Annual
Meeting Brings BACnet Up
BACnet is "elevated" to a new level through a proposal
regarding use of building controls for elevators.
The proposal to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004, BACnet -- A Data
Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks, was
reviewed during ASHRAE's 2007 Annual Meeting. Standard 135 is the only
open, consensus-developed standard in the building controls industry.
The proposal would expand BACnet's coverage of building systems to
incorporate support for "elevators," an industry term that includes
lifts (vertical or near-vertical transport) and escalators (horizontal
or near-horizontal transport).

Interior
Design Important For Retail Security
New research from the United States suggests that
retail businesses underestimate the value of interior design, and
retailers in Australia are taking note.
According to Mark Norton, general manager for ADT Security, retail
businesses that take a one-or-two-dimensional view of security are
failing to effectively combat shrinkage in Australia.
"Undoubtedly the biggest security issue all retailers have in common is
preventing shrinkage, but many retail businesses aren't making best use
of their existing systems to detect and deter thieves," Norton says.

Surveillance
Veil Coming To New York
By the end of 2007, police officials say more than 100
cameras will have begun monitoring cars moving through Lower Manhattan.
It's the beginning of a surveillance system inspired by London that
would be the first in the United States.
The plan is called the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, and it will
resemble London's so-called Ring of Steel, an extensive web of cameras
and roadblocks designed to detect, track and deter terrorists. British
officials said images captured by the cameras helped track suspects
after the London subway bombings in 2005 and the car bomb plots in June.
