We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Building Management Systems",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Timer sockets for flexible relay control from
Finder, which we summarised at the time by saying "Multifunction timer sockets are aimed at panel builders, systems integrators, OEMs and installers of control systems for machines and processes".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Fuel cell distribution deal reached from
Chloride Power Protection: "Currently, IdaTech and Chloride are installing ElectraGen5 fuel cell systems in Europe at several corporate locations for backup power".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Belden CDT Electronics
concerning its New Generation Waterdog Cables
- take a look at Rugged cables resist the great outdoors
which says: "Water-resistant cables are suitable for a wide range of indoor, outdoor and direct burial installations".
Take a look also at the news release from Tyco Electronics - Energy Division, Digital metering system improves communication,
as well as Technical consultancy expands overseas from Firstco,
and Water-resistant cables handle varied applications from Belden CDT Electronics.
