QA Graphics is pleased to share that their client SystemWorks, LLC has implemented the Bridge Data Manager during one of their commissioning projects for Central College.
SystemWorks, an independent, third-party commissioning provider has implemented Bridge as part of a commissioning project for Central College. QA Graphics’ Bridge Data Manager is a data logger tool that can collect and log data from virtually any source to track performance data for comparing, trending, validating, commissioning, and reporting on that data.
SystemWorks worked with Mike Lubberden, Central College’s director of facilities planning and management to implement the Bridge Data Manger. It is being used by the campus to verify that the utility meter data reporting, including the electrical, gas, steam, and chilled water use is performing as the building design intended. To get the campus data from the building automation system to the Bridge Data Manager, SystemWorks used QA Graphics’ Web Interface for JCI Metasys. The interface is a web-based, software solution used to map data from the Johnson Controls MSEA system to Bridge, where the data is logged via the network or cloud storage using Microsoft SQL Server.
“We looked to QA Graphics because of their experience and history in successfully collecting JCI Metasys data,” Scott Talbot, commissioning supervisor, SystemWorks, LLC. “The software was quick to install, and has been easy for us to work within setting up points and collecting the data remotely.”
