Technical Airport Management to meet at Frankfurt Airport September 27 and 28 2018
On September 27 and 28, 2018, facility managers and operators of the European airport operators will come together at Frankfurt Airport for the first European BACnet® Airport Conference. With a global market share of 64% the BACnet® communication standard (ISO 16484-5) plays an increasingly key role in successful airport management. Participants will exchange strategic and technical experiences of independent building automation with BACnet® and discuss the complexity, performance and rapid growth of airports from a technical, economic and environmental perspective.
By focusing on reliable building operation, the BACnet® Airport Conference hopes to attract participants from the engineering, planning and planning communities involved in commercial or public buildings comparable to the size of an airport.
Rüdiger Schröder, from Fraport AG’s central infrastructure management explained “With BACnet we have implemented a competitive building automation system. Manufacturer-neutral data communication is the key technology that perfectly supports all processes from conception, planning and design to operation.”
Throughout Europe, BACnet® is recognized as an enabler for investment security and reliable building operation at airports such as Manchester. It is the cornerstone to meeting specific requirements such as efficient operability, easy operation, and consistent alarm management. Fraport AG is building its new Terminal 3 with a building automation system based on BACnet communication.
