Bonzheim , General Manager , ControlNET . “ Our Senior Application Engineer Chris Davis had deep knowledge of electrical systems . He understood how an electric power grid worked , and he could envision the integrated solution . When he created the graphic that tied together all these multiple systems – the majority not HVAC – it looked like one system . That vision was exactly what Whirlpool was looking for .”
SOLUTION
The Whirlpool project represented a very complex building integration project on a fast-track schedule .

Pulling off the job required coordination of the Whirlpool facilities team , as well as mechanical contractors , electrical contractors , and the many equipment makers delivering their separate systems .
