Buildings: Add

Tracer ES can be used with the following building panel or object types:

• Trane BCUs that are controlled by Tracer Summit version 16 or higher.
• Trane Tracker panels, version 12 or higher.
• Standard BACnet objects that meet the 2004 or later BACnet specification.
• Tracer SC controllers. For this release they are recognized as generic BACnet devices.
• Tracer UC controllers. For this release they are recognized as generic BACnet devices.

All Buildings on your network will not appear in Tracer ES until you add them to the Tracer ES building list.

To add a building:

1. In the header, click Actions and Settings | Buildings | Install Buildings.
2. Click Add a New Building.
3. Complete the information on the Add Building page and click Finish. The building discovery process begins.
4. After the building discovery is complete, view, and if necessary, edit the building attributes on the Advanced building page to make sure that building location, time zone, and time synchronization information are correct.

Note: The discovery process can take several minutes or longer depending upon how many points Tracer ES identifies and the speed of the network. You can monitor the progress of the building discovery by watching the page, if desired. Navigating away from the page will not stop the discovery process.
