Andy McMillan, President of BACnet International and President/CEO of Teletrol Systems, discussed the importance of the show: “Rapid advancements in building automation technology make the building automation section of the AHR Expo a ‘must attend’ event for professionals in the industry [air-conditioning, heating, refrigeration and ventilation.]” McMillan added, “The show was particularly valuable for us because the BACnet International display area provided a great forum for members of the BACnet community to meet with each other, see some of the latest products and learn more about the value BACnet provides.”

Lumisys, a platinum member of BACnet® International and participant in this year’s AHR Expo, enjoyed that benefits of working closely with BACnet® International. Ron Poskevich, Lumisys General Manager, said, ”AHR Expo offers attendees who are interested in the latest BACnet® solutions a single location to learn and interact with the experts who support the global communication standard for building systems.” He further commented, “As an exhibitor, the single largest benefit is that BACnet® International booth visitors pre-qualify themselves before they enter. That enables us to have a richer, more productive interaction with each visitor. The return to our company is worth every penny.”
