In this brief video demonstration, ACE IoT and Doug Plumley, Software Architect at Dartmouth College, explore Dartmouth’s BACnet networks using Grasshopper, a powerful tool for understanding the operational technology (OT) landscape in buildings—and the open-source foundation of ACE Sentinel.
ACE IoT is thrilled to introduce ACE Sentinel, a groundbreaking addition to the ACE Aerodrome suite. Designed in collaboration with the Dartmouth College facilities team, ACE Sentinel is a valuable new tool for Smart Building Solution providers and folks administering campus-wide OT networks alike.
Need to ensure that new network devices are not assigned duplicate BACnet IDs?
Want to document your organization’s BACnet network and be notified when devices come on and go off the network?
Want to assess whether a building’s BACnet network is well-designed to support a new Smart Building app (e.g. Digital Twin, Automated System Optimization, or Peak Demand Limiting app)?
ACE Sentinel can help address these challenges - and many more!
In Q2 2025, the City of Madison will begin using the first-ever grid-interactive building management system powered by open-source software. Deployed in six municipal facilities, the innovative system enables the City of Madison’s Department of Facilities to manage load profiles for better utilization of grid assets, lower the city’s energy bills and reduce carbon emissions. Over a typical year, the City of Madison estimates that the new system will enable it to save 1.4 GWh of energy, shed 250 kW of load and shift 432 kWh of load—without negatively impacting occupant comfort.
