For Immediate Release:

Alerton Selected for Bahrain City Center’s Building Automation System.

Redmond, WA (August 23, 2007)—Building automation pioneer Alerton (www.alerton.com) has been selected to provide the building automation system for the Bahrain City Center being developed by the Majid Al Futtaim Group. Located in Manama, capital of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Bahrain City Center will feature more than 350 stores, a 20-screen cinema, an indoor water park and Magic Planet, a family entertainment center. The 1,476,378 sq foot, three-level shopping mall, scheduled to be completed by June 2008, will be the largest of its kind in Bahrain.

“Having experienced integration difficulties in the past, installing an open system in the Center was important to the client,” said Barbara Popoli Alerton’s general manager. “Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons our Bahrain dealer, is installing a top-to-bottom BACnet system based on Alerton’s industry leading technology allowing for easy integration with other systems and components.”

The complete Alerton solution for the Bahrain City Center includes 1,500 field-level controllers, 12 global controllers and two operator workstations. The project consists of 30,000 data points including integration with variable frequency drives (VFDs), a chiller management system, emergency lighting, a fire alarm system, and a boiler and BTU meter.

“The local presence of a trained Alerton dealer in Bahrain is crucial to the project,” said Mohammad Hattab, Alerton’s regional sales manager for the Middle East. “Having an extensively trained Alerton dealer who is onsite every day with comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the project puts the client at ease.”
