The BACnet International community is proud to honor another set of peers. The “Leaders of the Pack” awards were given by BACnet International to recognize the achievements of individuals and companies involved in the BACnet International community. The award ceremony took place during the 2013 NFMT Vegas Conference & Expo on September 17-18, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV.

The award winners, categories and explanations are listed below:

Bulldog Award, Dave Robin of Automated Logic
The Bulldog Award serves to recognize an individual for always coming to the rescue and for unquestioning loyalty to BACnet International and the BACnet standard. Dave Robin led the BACnet Committee for four years, served on the BACnet International Board of Directors, pushes BACnet on ISO TC 205, and tirelessly develops BACnet’s CSML, web services, and related technologies that are core to BACnet’s future direction.

Doberman Pinscher Award, Paul Jordan of American Auto-Matrix
The Doberman Pinscher Award is given for keeping the group in line and upholding the BACnet standard. Paul Jordan is an intelligent and thoughtful leader. He serves on the BACnet International Board of Directors. He has been a technical force within the building automation industry for decades. He is faithfully committed to the goals of the BACnet International community and contributes his times and talents to our mutual advancement.

Howler Award, Ben Dorsey of KMC Controls
The Howler Award serves to recognize an individual for making a lot of noise about BACnet International and BACnet Standard. Ben Dorsey promotes the BACnet standard and BACnet International on a level that is unmatched by his industry peers. His involvement on the BACnet International Marketing Committee acts as an almost endless supply of fuel for his BACnet fire. At KMC Controls corporate events, customer meetings, sales visits, and industry exhibitions, Ben works tirelessly to promote BACnet International and KMC Controls' involvement with the organization. Ben's exuberance and energy in educating the world on the topic of BACnet has greatly increased visibility and awareness of the standard.

Fox Hound Award, Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.
The Fox Hound Award goes to a company who quickly and stealthily came up from behind in BACnet International. In the last two years Lutron has joined BACnet International as a silver member, participated in PlugFests and on BACnet International’s Education Committee. Lutron recently achieved the BTL Listing for its Quantum processor. This firmly establishes Lutron as an early adopter and pioneer in virtual BACnet networks.

Best in Show Award, The Bullitt Center
The Best in Show Award goes to a project posted in the BACnet Success Stories. The Bullitt Center is a first of a kind and a great example of a control system capability. The KMC BACnet System is used to control most parts of the building beyond the HVAC. This includes the rain-water recycle, grey water, window control and the geothermal plant.

Jack Russell Award, Mike Olson of ABB, Inc.
The Jack Russell Award is awarded to an individual who is always doing something for the betterment of BACnet International and the BACnet standard. With over 30 years industry experience, Mike Olson has repeatedly written articles, taught sessions and planned conferences in the BACnet community.

contemporary Andy McMillan, President of BACnet International shared his appreciation to the community. “This is the time when we recognize individuals who through their hard work and dedication continually enrich this organization. Within the BACnet International community, there are members who consistently go above and beyond to make BACnet an effective and successful building automation standard and we are proud to recognize them as ‘Leaders of the Pack.’ McMillan continued, “Please join me in thanking the winners again for their unfailing devotion and service to BACnet International and the BACnet standard.”
