Green Building Systems

Increase your return on investment with green building systems from Advanced Control

Many property and building owners are revamping various aspects of their property in order to make it more efficient, have less of a negative effect on the environment and save them money. One way they are doing this is through the installation of green building systems or Building Automation Systems, also known as a BAS. These green building systems produce safer, more comfortable and productive environments for occupants while reducing overall costs. You may be curious how these systems work. A BAS is a centralized network that manages and monitors all of your property’s systems, structures and components. By controlling HVAC, lighting, temperature, air quality, access control and security systems at optimal levels, your building becomes as efficient as possible.

Four Advantages of a Building Management System

Are you aware that buildings account for 40 percent of the world’s energy use? Imagine the impact if all buildings were running as efficiently as they possibly could. How efficient your building is operating not only has an impact on the world’s energy use but also has a major impact on your business. Did you know that with a building management system software, you can reduce your property’s operating, utility and energy costs and improve productivity and efficiency?

Improve Efficiency and Lower Costs With a Building Automation System

Consider all of the components and systems within your building that help it operate. From sliding entrance doors and lighting to comfortable temperatures and accessibility, multiple systems must run at once in a cohesive manner. To ensure these systems are running at optimal efficiency, you may want to consider installing a building automation system. Also, known as a BAS, building automation systems are designed with numerous, interlinked networks of both hardware and software that help manage, monitor and archive data for every system in your facility. They help each aspect within your building run smoothly so visitors and inhabitants are safe, comfortable and provided with an environment that allows for productivity.

For building owners and managers, finding a way to cut costs while keeping efficiency at optimal levels is always a top priority. Building automation companies can help building owners achieve this balance with the help of a Building Automation System or BAS. These systems help control energy-consuming equipment, helping a building reduce its energy costs.  They are currently installed in more than half of the buildings in the United States that are larger than 100,000 square feet in size.

Closed Circuit Security Cameras

Why Hospitals need CCTV

Many people are unaware how critical security measures are when it comes to safety within healthcare facilities and hospitals. Because these areas are typically open environments and anyone is allowed to enter into an emergency room, they also become at risk areas and prime targets for criminal activity. Having closed circuit security cameras is a vital part of any commercial building security system, especially in hospitals. According to a 2012 Crime and Security Trends Survey, published by the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety, 154 shootings took place within hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the nation between 2000-2011. This same survey also stated that 98 percent of all healthcare facilities within America had experienced violent and criminal incidents.

Save money and increase efficiency with an Intelligent Building Management System

Facility managers and property owners are always searching for ways to make their property and systems within the property more efficient. To help make this happen and cut costs along the way, many are turning to intelligent building management systems. These systems, also known as Building Automation Systems (BAS), are comprised of three components – software, sensors and control modules – and help regulate, monitor and retrieve data from every system and area within a building.
