1185 Avenue of Americas – Headquarters
of the National Hockey League
The National Hockey League headquartered at 1185 Avenue of Americas is one of the four major professional sports associations in North America, boasting 30 professional ice hockey franchises in the US and Canada organized into two conferences with three divisions each. The NHL governs the game, sets and enforces rules, regulates team ownership, and collects licensing fees for merchandise. The league was organized in Canada in 1917. To manage its Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, National Hockey League chose ABM Systems Inc., Alerton’s New York Metropolitan Area Authorized Dealer.

ABM Systems Inc. installed an Alerton Building Automation System (BAS) which comprises of Alerton BACtalk VisualLogic (VLC) controllers and seamless Modbus data integration to ensure an efficient and comfortable environment for the NHL occupants. The Alerton BMS system is also integrated with the third party building BMS via BACnet open protocol

The supplemental air conditioning units and variable air volume (VAV) boxes for NHL: Envision for BACtalk provides quick, comprehensive views and helps NHL check the system status in a glance and provide corrective response without delay.
