Continuum™ Brings Comfort and Savings to a Grand Hotel-The Breakers
Brought to you by: Schneider Electric
A TAC AC256M Plus system was installed by the hotel engineering staff at The Breakers in 1990. This basic system controlled and monitored the air conditioning equipment and the domestic hot water distribution pumps. As the hotel staff became more confident in the system, TAC Partner, Advanced Controls Corporation of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was called in to expand the system to major areas of the hotel. Advanced Controls upgraded the system to TAC's next generation product, TAC Infinity, utilizing almost all of the existing AC256 hardware.
