BuilConn was founded to increase awareness of the benefits of whole building integration and honor successful implementation strategies.

In 2005, ControlNET received First Place honors at the BuilConn show in Dallas, Texas for Best Building Project in North America. The “Buildy” Award recognizes and celebrates organizations and individuals throughout the continent who best support and implement the vision of integrated buildings. In fact, ControlNET was a finalist in two out of four categories for BuilConn’s 2005 Buildy Awards because of the groundbreaking integration project performed for the Whirlpool World Headquarters Corporate Data Center in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
