(ANKENY, IOWA) – QA Graphics, a leader
in the building automation system (BAS) graphic outsourcing industry,
is excited to announce the implementation of a new and dynamic
communication technology in their QA Gateway Device. Their QA Gateway
that partners with their Energy Efficiency Education Dashboards®, is
now built with Raspberry Pi technology that uses DSA’s open source IoT
platform and data managing software.
Raspberry Pi 3 is small in size (about a credit card to be exact) but
packing a big punch as the latest technology that has the potential to
have a transformative effect on the HVAC controls industry. Being able
to function as a web server and store a sufficient amount of data, the
QA Gateway enables communication between the Energy Efficiency
Education Dashboards® application and the BAS gateway.
Some features of the Rasp Pi 3 used in the QA Gateway Device include:
• Open Source
• Runs on most popular version of Linux
• 1.2GHz Processor
• 1 GB Ram
• Double the capacity
• Longer battery Life
The new communication channel will allow
for data collection via BACnet or Modbus protocol networked to the Data
Manager. QA Graphic’s Data Manager is custom made software that
accurately and efficiently captures data from the QA Gateway using
Microsoft SQL. Built using Microsoft .NET framework to run as a Windows
service, the Data Manager is the backend application to our Energy
Efficiency Education Dashboards® and serves as the middleware between
the BAS gateway and the Energy Efficiency Education Dashboards®.

Graphic’s Data Manager has the ability to import and export historical
data and create manual entry points or add existing points from the
building automation system. Allowing you to compare and share your
building data in the form of an education dashboard.
Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard - The EEED is a web application
that educates building occupants by showcasing real-time energy data
and green building features. The EEED highlights sustainable efforts
made in the design and construction of a building, which may help
acquire points toward LEED® certification. QA Graphics’ dashboards are
used by schools, universities, businesses, healthcare facilities, and
data centers. Applications can be displayed in a common area via large
format kiosk displays or on any web enabled device.
