November 15 - 17 2004 TCS Training Recap

Another successful training was given at the Inn on the Park November 15 - 17 2004. This training focused on developing core skills to successfully install and properly commission a TCS network of controllers. Extensive time was spent on proper programming and wiring of TCS controllers.

The second and part of the third day of training was spent on commissioning and utilization of Ubiquity within a building network. Given the continued development of Ubiquity into building operations, Maintenance and Energy curtailment - quite a bit of time was dedicated to learning how to fully take advantage of other money-saving features not core to controller setups. Ubiquity offers a broad set of tools to handle the including:

  • Demand Limiting
  • Utility Management
  • Invoice Audits
  • Documentation of Savings Reports

Ubiquity is close to a version 3.0 release, and the attendees were treated to an opportunity to see some of the forthcoming functionality. The Project Manager who taught the Ubiquity portion of the training also gave the students the chance to let their voice be heard regarding feature requests. Some of those suggestions are now included in the release.

One drawback with all the development that has been happening was the rushed pace of the training. Numerous requests were made by the attendees in their feedback for dedicating more time to Ubiquity training. TCS has committed to providing a more appropriate allotment of time in the future so that there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss all of questions thoroughly.

The attendees were excited by all of the application opportunities. Many stated that this training, more than anything else, gave them the confidence to install, commission, and enhance any TCS controller network.
