Building Clouds 2016 Catalog

Introduction 

Opendiem is a suite of software applications designed to monitor and control the systems that 

keep your buildings running at peak efficiency while ensuring the comfort and safety of its 

occupants. The Opendiem Suite works with lighting and temperature control, energy 

management, physical security, alarm monitoring, digital video, industrial processes and more. 

Based on proven communications standards and using existing IT network infrastructure, 

Opendiem allows building operators to access critical systems using a familiar web centric 

graphical user interface. Whether onsite, or working from a remote location manage your 

enterprise in real time from the internet using a web client like a standard web browser or 

terminal. 

Overview 

The Opendiem Suite runs on your preferred Windows ® -based hardware platform including 32- 

and 64-bit versions of: 10, 8, 7 Professional, Server 2012, 2008, 2003, or XP Professional. 

Building control systems communicate through Opendiem Connect’s set of communication 

drivers. Opendiem Engine collects and manages the flow of data to a web client via TCP/IP 

including Alarming, Trending, and Time Schedules. Web-based graphical human machine 

interface (HMI) screens are created using Opendiem Designer.

The Opendiem Software Suite 

Opendiem Engine 

Opendiem Engine handles the flow of information between the connected services. All 

transactions between the Services are passed to the Manager, which then routes the 

information to the appropriate receiving Service(s) and web clients. 

Typically, data is read from the communication drivers and passed through to the Web Clients 

and displayed as text, indicator lights, buttons and switches, or animated graphics. Security 

credentials ascertain user’s permissions to read or write to selected data. Data may be read 

from the drivers and logged periodically into a database. Some data values may also be 

written to, for example by a user clicking a button or using a graphical slider on a web page. 

Other data values may be set periodically with a scheduled event by one of the scheduler 

services. 

The Opendiem Engine can run one or more communications drivers providing access to many 

open, proprietary and legacy protocols. The architecture is based upon services that perform 

specific functions and run as separate tasks, ensuring that the performance of one service 

does not affect the others. This modular architecture improves reliability and maintainability of 

the system. 

The Opendiem Services Engine: For managing and configuring your data services. 

The Opendiem Web Client is a Java based application capable of running within any 

compatible web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and any browser 

supporting the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) see www.java.com for more information). 




Union City, CA 94587 866.580.3579 


Smartphones and tablet computers with this capability can also interact with Opendiem and 

offer a useful mobile tool that enables operators to control and monitor buildings from any 

location. The Opendiem Web Client provides a Human Machine Interface (HMI) graphical 

presentation for simple and effective interaction with the connected controls systems. The 

client receives data from the Opendiem Server providing real-time 

updates of the controls networks in the web browser. 

The application resides on the server where Opendiem is 

installed and is automatically downloaded by the web browser. 

This removes the need for any additional software to be installed 

on the client PC and allows for multiple, simultaneous users to 

access the system. 

All transactions between the server and user are subject to 

security procedures that ensure the data on the system is 

protected from unauthorized access. . Data may be set to Read 

Only, Read/Write (full access) or no access. 

Security is based on users and groups; each user has an 

individual profile (user name, logon ID, password, etc.) and may 

belong to one or more groups. Each group is then granted access to areas of the system as 

required. 

Opendiem Connect 

Opendiem Connect provides the interface between the server, your building systems and 

connected devices (even other Opendiem Systems). The physical connection between the 

server and the building’s systems can be Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Serial (RS232, RS485), USB, etc. 

and the server can be located on-site or at a secure off-site location (virtually anywhere). 

The Opendiem Connect Data Server maintains data flow to the Engine 




Union City, CA 94587 866.580.3579 


Software drivers allow Opendiem Connect to supply the Opendiem Engine with useful data. 

Drivers are available for: LonWorks (LNS), BACnet, OPC, Modbus, TAC I/NET, SOAP, XML, 

Siemens, Barber Colman, Invensys, Johnson Controls, Trend, SAIA and others. 

Opendiem Designer 

Opendiem Designer is the project 

configuration and management tool that 

contains a wealth of features and allows 

integrators to rapidly build complete 

system web pages (HMI) for real-time 

monitoring and controlling of building 

systems. 

Opendiem Designer incorporates all of 

the features needed to design and 

publish your projects through a simple 

drag and drop environment – without 

complex scripting or coding. Web 

screen elements have configurable 

properties such as color, position, style, 

image import and animation, assignable 

actions, etc. 

Client Services 

Data logging of historical values 

The Opendiem Data Logger is a powerful distributed 

data collection, logging, charting, reporting and 

analysis system. The Data Logger provides all of the 

tools required to keep track of important information 

throughout your system. 

• Web based data logger configuration with a wide 

selection of logging triggers. 

• Data captured can be stored in Microsoft SQL 

Server®, Microsoft SQL Express®, 

Microsoft Access®, MySQL or any ODBC 

compliant database, locally or remotely 

across an IP network. 

• Save reports and schedule runtimes. 

• Track energy usage with eProfiler. 

Web browser based data reporting and charting 

capabilities allow you to present the data in a wide variety of 

tabular and graphical formats.

Alarm and Alerts Management 

Modern systems have the ability to generate a wealth of data to highlight 

impending problems or malfunctions. With Opendiem, both current and 

historic alarms can be viewed through any web browser for remote 

monitoring 24x7. Alarm handling is unified and synchronized through one 

cohesive alarm management system. With only one place to look, and the 

simplicity of a browser interface, maintenance is easier to implement and 

response to emergencies is more focused. Opendiem enables alarms to be 

grouped into classifications to better direct alerts to the appropriate 

responders. A variety of standard and custom filters allow you to view the 

alarms most important to you, without the clutter of lower priority events. 

Selectable features such as forcing the operator to enter comments when 

acknowledging an alarm, escalation of alerts to backup personnel, and hot 

links to operational procedures to follow for each alarm help ensure that 

alarms are correctly processed. Alerts are sent as emails and/or SMS text 

messages and configured using templates which can be easily tailored to 

provide all necessary alarm details to the operator. 

Scheduling 

Scheduling is a key component for enabling the reduction of energy consumption and 

optimization of plant operation. The Opendiem scheduler contains the simplest user interface 

available; to adjust a time schedule a user simply drags the handles for the start and stop 

times. Schedules can contain up to four start/stop periods per day, each can trigger actions 

(e.g. turn an item on) or control whole sequences of events offering maximum flexibility. 

Temporary time scheduling enables the advance configuration of special events up to two 

weeks ahead, while offering the assurance that normal time settings will resume without further 

intervention from the user. A two-year graphical time planner allows holidays and special 

events to be configured ahead of time.

Calculator 

Perform advanced mathematical calculations on any system variable(s) resulting in a new data 

point for your system. From simple arithmetic to complex Boolean expressions and statistics, 

you’ll be able to utilize your data in ways you only dreamed of before. 

o Compare zone temperatures and 

return an average, or output the 

high or low zone temperature. 

o Calculate and track kWh usage 

and energy costs from current 

sensors (amps). 

o Show live carbon offset data on 

your web screens or public

o 



1 differential pressure sensor & hardware 





Air filters help keep unwanted paticulates out of your conditioned space. When new, 

and properly sized for your unit, clean filters enable your unit to operate efficiently. As 

the filter does its job it naturally becomes “packed” and the unit must use more energy 

to pull air through and into your building. Changing air filters when they need to be 

changed based on actual data will lower your energy and maintenance costs, while 

increasing indoor air quality. 

When you install a FilterMon kit you will be notified when your filter is beginning to clog 

so that you can plan for a filter change. If your filter continues to clog and your filter 

reaches alarm level (user definable) you will receive an escalated annunciation.

FEATURESRY 

- LonTalk Protocol 

- Free Topology Communication 

(FTT-10) 

- 12 universal inputs with 0-5V, 0-10V, 0- 

20mA, thermistor or dry contact 

- 6 universal outputs with Triac or 0-10V 

- 6 digital outputs with Triac 

The BC240 programmable controller incorporates 24 channels of cost effective analog and 

digital I/O with a real time clock. The I/O is monitored and controlled by a Neuron 3150 chip 

with Free Topology communication over a LonWorks ® network. The BC240 has expanded 

data storage with additional FLASH, SRAM and EEPROM memory. The BC240 can be 

utilized in many custom or fixed distributed control applications. 

The I/O of the BC240 makes it perfect for a variety of equipment control applications. The 

wide operating temperature range, -20 to 70 °C, mak es the BC240 well suited for many 

demanding applications. 

The twelve universal inputs (UI) can be configured in a variety of ways. The controller can 

interface with resistive type sensors for temperature measurements. The UI’s can measure 

voltage from humidity or transducer readings. The UI’s can input current for pressure 

measurements. The UI’s can also be used to read digital inputs and dry contacts. With 12 bits 

of resolution, the universal inputs are field adaptable and accurate for many types of 

measurements. 

Terminal number three of the universal inputs provides a regulated +20 VDC to source power 

to current transducers for interfacing. The +20 VDC source is protected by an internal autoresetable 

fuse. 

The six universal outputs (UO) can be configured as Triac or 0-10 VDC outputs. The controller 

can use Triac outputs to provide on/off or pulsed control for controlling damper positions, 

valves, alarms, lights or other loads where the current does not exceed 1A at 24 VAC for each 

output. The 0-10 VDC output has 10 bits of resolution for accurate control of external devices. 

The six digital outputs (DO) are Triac outputs for control of additional on/off or pulsed external 

devices where the current does not exceed 1A at 24 VAC for each output. 

The BC240 controller is protected from reverse power supply input wiring, over-voltages, 

transients, and other common events that can damage unprotected inputs and outputs. 

The versatile I/O allows numerous applications to be development and implemented with the 

BC240. The Real Time Clock and expanded memory allow applications for data logging, 

scheduling and time stamp monitoring and control. 

User defined algorithms and functions can be programmed using VisualControl , NodeBuilder, 

LonBuilder or other third party LONWORKS programming tools. The application program can be 

downloaded over the free topology network and is stored in non-volatile memory so it is 

retained even after loss of power. 

The enclosure snaps right onto a 35mm DIN-rail for quick and easy mounting. Its spring-loaded 

latching mechanism makes it easy to remove.

(FTT-10) 

The BC160 is a fully programmable controller allowing a complete sequence of operation 

customization for today’s ever-changing control strategies that are required to meet 

continued energy efficiency requirements. The reliable cost effective I/O is continuously 

monitored and precisely controlled by a microprocessor for exceptional performance. To 

eliminate memory constraints caused by today’s complex applications an additional 8K of 

external SRAM has been added to the existing memory architecture of the BC160. As an 

option, a precision airflow sensor can be added that provides reliable and accurate 

measurements allowing superior performance. Communication for monitoring, control 

and diagnostics is achieved utilizing a LonTalk ® TP/FT-10 network with a simple twistedpair, 

non-polarized cable. 

The six universal inputs (UI) can individually sense analog or digital signals. There are 

no jumper adjustments or settings on the BC160. Inputs are automatically set-up in the 

application program that is downloaded into the controller. An analog signal from a 

resistive (10K ohm or 20K ohm) type sensor, voltages (0-5V, 0-10V) or current (4-20mA) 

from a transducer are accurately measured with a resolution of 12 bits. A digital input 

signal from a dry contact or 0-5V volt source is used to provide the status or state of 

external devices. A +20 VDC source is available to provide power for external 

transducers and is protected by an internal auto-resetable fuse. 

The Six digital outputs (DO) are voltage sourcing Triac outputs for control of on/off or 

pulsed controlled external devices where the current does not exceed 1A at 24 VAC. 

The BC160 controller is protected from reverse power supply input wiring, over-voltages, 

transients, and other common events that can damage unprotected inputs and outputs. 

User defined algorithms and functions can be programmed using VisualControl , 

NodeBuilder, LonBuilder or other third party LONWORKS programming tools. The 

application program can be downloaded over the LonTalk network and is stored in nonvolatile 

memory allowing the application to be retained even after loss of power. The 

versatile I/O allows numerous applications to be development and implemented with the 

BC160.

performance standards. These sensors are made in 

the USA and manufactured with a 3mW heat 

dissipation constant thermistor and a +/- 0.13°C 

specified stability (drift). Higher heat dissipation 

constants and better stability translates to more 

accurate temperature sensing. Combining this 

accuracy with finely tuned PID loops (less over and 

under shooting) for substantial energy savings. 

NIST Traceable Certification is available as an option 

for projects that require supporting documentation.

A Building Clouds Solution 

Immediate and Ongoing Energy Reduction from Ventilation Fans, More Than 50% 

Demand Based CO Ventilation System for Parking 

Garage Pays for Itself in Less Than 2 Years 

Ygnacio Center is an office campus with three 

levels of underground parking in Walnut Creek, 

California. The mixed use Class A campus 

consists of high-rise and mid-rise office buildings, 

retail, and restaurant space. 

Building Clouds was approached to provide an on 

demand ventilation system for the parking garage 

and integrate it with the Center’s Building Energy 

Management System. The existing ventilation 

system included six constant volume fans with 

manual disconnect switches for control. 

A network of LonWorks communicating carbon 

monoxide (CO) sensors, and variable frequency 

drives (VFD) where specified by Building Clouds. The CO sensor ppm readings are monitored for 

high limits, and if the readings remain high for a specified period of time the appropriate ventilation 

fans begin to ramp up until safe levels are maintained. 

Standard features from Opendiem allow building engineers to review historical CO levels and receive 

alarm notifications if the system fails to operate as designed. Adjustments to VFD ramp times and 

ppm level set points can all be managed from any Internet connected Web browser. 

Runtime and speed reductions to the garage ventilation fans have resulted in more than a 50% 

savings in electrical usage and greatly improved the lifetime of the equipment.

Open Multi-Server Control System Integrates Seamlessly via World Wide Web 

11 Acre High Rise Commercial Building Campus 

Upgrades from Pneumatics to Direct Digital Control 

CityView Plaza is an office campus situated on 

11-acres in downtown San Jose, California. The 

mixed use Class A campus consists of nine highrise 

and mid-rise office buildings, retail, and 

restaurant space. 

Building Clouds was approached to provide an 

open DDC system for core mechanical systems in 

the Plaza’s three anchor buildings. The existing 

(and original) pneumatic controls would need to 

be retrofit during occupied building hours without 

disruption to tenants of the buildings. 

The anchor buildings were to house three independent web servers to satisfy the owner’s 

requirements of possibly selling individual properties in the future. Building Clouds approach was to 

design a web-based human machine interface (HMI) that made all this transparent to the end user. 

Lonworks was chosen as the communication platform providing the consumer with multi-vendor 

options when it came time to expand the systems into the tenant zones. 

As buildings and tenant spaces were added to the control system, they seamlessly integrated into the 

existing front end. Savings were realized as integrators were able to “shop around” for deals on 

LonWorks compatible controllers capable of being deployed on the existing networks. 

Engineers manage the entire complex from an internet-connected web browser from anywhere in the 

world. Energy usage, maintenance efficiency, and tenant comfort have improved dramatically at the 

campus.

Tenants Can Manage Temperature & Change Schedules for Their Office Space 

Class A Office Building in San Francisco Gives 

Tenants a Web Based Temperature Control System 

The Westlake Realty Group was faced with replacing a failing direct 

digital control (DDC) system for their central plant at 909 Montgomery 

Street in San Francisco. Westlake’s Vice President and General 

Manager, Chris Marrs had been in discussions with some “traditional” 

DDC companies to replace the system. His meetings always ended the 

same way, he would get a replacement of the antiquated system which 

offered no modern bells and whistles, for what he considered an 

exorbitant price tag. He just kept thinking “…more of the same…”. 

Building Clouds engineered the project from a different point of view. Not only would they modernize 

the historic building’s central plant, they would replace more than 100 stand-alone programmable 

thermostats with thermostats which connected to the “cloud” over Wi-Fi and formed a fully converged 

building management system (BMS) network. Water source 

heatpumps which had been operating on their own for years could 

now interact with the rest of the building, including the LonWorks 

DDC network for the central plant equipment. 

In addition to complete BMS control via the internet by the 

Westlake’s property managers, authorized tenants are now able to 

adjust set points and operational hours for each thermostat from an 

internet-connected web browser. An easy-to-navigate graphical 

user interface allows remote on/off control, 7-day programming of 

operating schedules and set points, graphing of historical data, 

email and text message alerts for alarms and maintenance.

Maximize Indoor Air Quality While Minimizing Energy Usage 

Controlling CO 2 Levels in Classrooms an Affordable, 

Wireless Solution to a Difficult Problem 

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 

have determined that moderate to high levels of indoor 

Carbon Dioxide can impair people's abilities to make 

decisions. Levels as low as 1,000 to 2,500 ppm can 

impede the decision making process. Levels in a typical 

classroom frequently exceed 3,000 ppm of CO2. 

You can read the LBNL study here: 

http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2012/10/17/elevated-indoorcarbon-dioxide-impairs-decision-making-performance/). 

Building Clouds has successfully designed a system for the Belmont Redwood Shores School District 

in Northern California which monitors both wired and wireless CO2 sensors in classrooms and public 

meeting areas. Data from the sensors are integrated into the District’s Opendiem energy 

management system and CO2 levels are kept below 800 ppm by opening fresh air intake dampers 

that supply the room being monitored. If levels continue to escalate an alarm is enunciated to alert 

building maintenance personnel that the system needs to be inspected. 

By simultaneously monitoring CO2 levels, indoor and 

outdoor temperatures, and economizer damper position 

the EMS is able to minimize energy usage while 

providing for maximum indoor air quality and a safe 

learning environment for students.

Budget Sensitive Project Moves Forward Using 

Wireless strati-fi Controllers 

A National Commercial Real Estate Services Company needed to 

install an HVAC control system for a two-story, multi-tenant commercial 

office building it manages in Northern California. Time clocks were in 

place for the rooftop air conditioning systems and boiler but they had 

proven unreliable and required a service technician visit the roof to 

make operational changes. Service calls and temperature complaints 

from the tenants have been increasing over recent months, something 

had to be done but traditional control systems would not fit into the 

owner’s budget. 

New wireless technology from Building Clouds allowed this project to become a reality. A fully 

integrated, and feature rich building management system (BMS) was designed around strati-fi 

controllers. The strati-fi do not require a communication wire between units thus saving on labor and 

material costs. They receive their power from the units they will control, and connect to the Internet 

over standard 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. Opendiem servers listen for the strati-fi to “phone home” and begin 

communicating with them as soon as they connect. 

Authorized users are now able to adjust set points and operational hours for each connected HVAC 

system from an internet-connected web browser from anywhere in the world. An easy-to-navigate 

graphical user interface allows remote on/off control, 7-day programming of operating schedules and 

set points, set point adjustment, alarm annunciation for out of range or fault conditions, graphing of 

historical data, tracking of operational hours for maintenance purposes (filter changes for example), 


This new system will greatly improve the reliability of the building air conditioning systems, will greatly 

reduce service calls for the property manager, and is expandable to include more systems as budgets 

allow.

Millbrae School District Saves Energy, Gains Operational Flexibility, and Improves Comfort 

Northern California School District Sees Benefits from 

a Low Cost Energy Management System 

The Millbrae (California) School District, which is comprised 

of four elementary and one middle school, underwent 

budgeted modernization projects during the summers of 

2011 through 2014. In addition to the heating, ventilation, 

air conditioning (HVAC) controls upgrades, the projects 

included improvements to the IT infrastructure and a new 

Wi-Fi network for each school. 

With rising energy costs colliding with statewide budget 

cuts, The District was looking for a way to manage their 

HVAC units to lower costs and, at the same time, improve classroom conditions for their students. 

The existing energy management system (EMS) had proven to be too complicated and was in 

various states of disrepair. A less complicated, cost effective solution was desired. 

Building Clouds’ solution involved leveraging the newly installed Wi-Fi infrastructure to create a 

District wide EMS which could be monitored and controlled from the Internet. Using our cloud based 

Opendiem Software, and integrating open hardware platforms from multiple vendors, a fully 

integrated EMS was created for all five schools. 

Authorized users are now able to adjust set points and operational hours for each connected 

thermostat from an internet-connected web browser from anywhere in the world. An easy-to-navigate 

graphical user interface allows remote on/off control, 7-day programming of operating schedules and 

set points, set point adjustment, alarm annunciation for out of range or fault conditions, graphing of 

historical data, tracking of operational hours for maintenance purposes (filter changes for example),

An Open LonWorks Building Energy Management System Integrates Critical Processes 

Silicon Valley Manufacturer Blends Process, HVAC, 

Lighting, & Life Safety Monitoring into Cohesive BMS 

A worldwide supplier of semiconductor equipment 

headquartered in Santa Clara, California was 

interested in upgrading their legacy BMS which 

controlled process systems, HVAC, lighting, and 

monitored critical life safety systems at their multibuilding 

campus. 

The legacy system which was originally installed in 

1992 was no longer supported by its manufacturer. 

Replacing the system’s more than 5,000 points of 

control was not only cost prohibitive, but more 

importantly was going to be disruptive to the 

company’s manufacturing process, their lifeline. 

Building Clouds presented this customer with a two year, phased migration plan for upgrading the 

BMS using LonWorks open, programmable controllers. Portions of the existing legacy system would 

remain in place during the migration process and be integrated into the Opendiem server using a 

custom software driver. As legacy systems were phased out, any hardware removed was catalogued 

and placed into the company’s stock of spare parts. 

During this successful project the company’s production line was never interrupted due to controls 

work. As new systems are introduced on the campus they are easily integrated into the Opendiem 

BMS using fully supported and off the shelf components. 

Energy ETC, and Building Clouds have teamed up to address controls needs for many of this 

company’s other buildings in and around Silicon Valley.

Transformation of a Single Tenant Building into a Harmonious Multi-Tenant Experience 

A Building Divided – Giving Multiple Tenants Individual 

Access to a Hybrid Energy Management System 

The property owner for a single story industrial 

building in Santa Clara, CA needed the ability to subdivide 

their facility. Walls, doors, carpet, paint, even 

mechanical systems were no problem. The building 

energy management system (BMS) however was a 

different matter. 

With a tight budget, the ability to add another control 

system was not an option. To further complicate the 

issue, the existing control system’s hardware was 

obsolete and the software/on premise BMS PC was missing and not replaceable. Additionally, a 

single electrical meter served the facility causing uncertainty over how to bill each tenant individually 

for their energy usage. 

Building Clouds’ knew that all of these issues could be solved and at a price that fit into the owner’s 

budget. By employing a hosted Opendiem server, a LonWorks network to tie in new rooftop 

equipment, and a software driver to communicate with the existing control system, the hybrid system 

was on-line. The Opendiem software took over from there with logical separation of equipment and 

invoking security rules which kept users in the appropriate sections of the system. 

LonWorks enabled E-mon D-mon power monitors were put into place to track each tenant’s electrical 

usage. 

Authorized users are now able to monitor and control equipment in their space from an internetconnected 

web browser from anywhere in the world. Energy usage is tracked by the server, reports 

are generated and sent to the Property Management Company for reconciliation against the Utility 

bill, and then invoices are sent to the appropriate tenants.

The EMS will monitor & track the building’s progress towards its zero net energy goal 

Multi-Vendor Control Systems Work Together at the 

Highly Acclaimed Zero Net Energy Center 

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) 

Local 595 and the Northern California Chapter of the National 

Electrical Contractors Association (NorCal NECA) needed a way 

to measure, control, and display systems from multiple vendors 

to meet “zero net energy” goals for their new training facility. 

This was to be the first commercial building retrofit designed to 

meet the U.S. Department of Energy’s requirements for zero net 

energy. This state-of-the-art facility has been named The Zero 

Net Energy Center and incorporates advanced lighting, HVAC 

systems and a unique building envelope with renewable energy systems in its design. 

Building Clouds’ solution will monitor and track the building’s progress towards its zero net energy 

goal. Automated adjustments will occur in the background to ensure all systems are running 

optimally. 

In addition to tracking the ZNEC’s power generation and usage, the integrated Energy Management 

System ensures that all connected building systems work in harmony to exceed the energy 

conservation goals of the Obama Administration’s Better Buildings Challenge. The ZNEC is designed 

to use 75% less energy compared to similar existing commercial buildings in the country. The 

Opendiem control system will optimize lighting and HVAC systems while taking advantage of natural 

lighting and automated operable windows for natural ventilation. Constant monitoring of building 

energy usage will be compared to the power generated by the ZNEC's wind turbines, solar tree, 

rooftop solar, and thermal solar systems.
