Building Automation Systems Integration


Connect all of your building’s systems with our Building Automation Systems Integration abilities

In recent years, more and more businesses are becoming interested in integrating the various systems within their building with the goal of increasing productivity, efficiency and safety and decreasing costs. At Advanced Control Corporation, our Building Automation Systems Integration options are helping countless buildings throughout Florida achieve their goals.

Our Building Automation Systems solutions, or BAS, have the ability to work with the existing systems and equipment currently in your building, from HVAC and lighting to temperature, security and more. By integrating all systems into one control interface, you have easier and quicker access to data, archives, control points, scheduling and more.

You may be wondering how a Building Automation System can take your building to the next level in terms of efficiency and productivity. Here are a few things to consider:

1.      Reduce stress – Imagine how much stress and extra work can be negated when you can control, manage and schedule each system in your building through simplified software. By having immediate access to every piece of equipment and system in your building, you can ensure every aspect of your building is performing at its best. In addition, you can activate energy-savings mode for days or times when your building or specific areas within it will not be occupied.

2.      Decrease cost – One major goal of companies and building owners is to decrease their costs. A BAS can make this happen. For typical buildings, a Building Automation Systems integration can save up to 15 percent on equipment operating costs. In terms of a standard building, this can be a savings of up to $.40 per square foot. In addition, a BAS can save you in other ways. For example, with a BAS monitoring the efficiency and operational status of each system in your building, you or your personnel team will be notified as soon as a problem arises within a system. This way, you can have the issue repaired before it becomes a major problem and a costly issue.

3.      Improve security – A Building Automation Systems integration can help improve your security and access control systems, in addition to putting security issues into various categories such as low, medium, high and urgent. Access control settings keep a data archive letting you know who accessed which area and when.

Imagine having immediate access and control abilities to every system inside and outside of your building. Through an interlinked network, all of your systems will connect to one main interface that is available onsite or remotely through a computer, tablet or mobile phone – as long as there is an internet connection. Have immediate access to access control settings, temperature systems, lighting, air quality and more with a newly installed BAS form Advanced.

Green Building Companies

Green building companies can help you lower costs and improve building efficiency
A goal on the minds of many building owners and property managers is how can a building become a green or intelligent building. Whether this goal has stemmed from the aspiration for “green” certification, lowered operating costs or to benefit the environment, green building companies like Advanced Control Corporation can make it a reality.
You can achieve “green” status and increase and improve your building’s sustainability through the implementation of a building automation systems, or BAS from green building companies. These systems have a multitude of benefits, including:
  1. Making your building more efficient
  2. Improving indoor air quality
  3. Lowering maintenance and operational costs
  4. Increasing occupant productivity and comfort
  5. Improving security and life system features
First, let’s take a closer look at the efficiency aspects of a BAS. Through a series of sensors and controlled scheduling, your building’s systems can become more effective and efficient. Most buildings have equipment or systems that run incorrectly, are not on a scheduling program and/or run when not necessary or the building is not occupied. This translates into wasted money. A general estimate we like to share with our clients is that your building can achieve up to 30 percent in energy savings just by concentrating on scheduling.
Improving your building’s air quality is another main feature and benefit of a BAS. Sensors for temperature and humidity can help make your occupants more comfortable. Many studies show, comfortable occupants mean more productive occupants. In addition, sensors will also monitor CO2, CO, and pollutants in your building, as well as making sure there is enough fresh air getting through the ventilation systems. These life systems also help control and redirect smoke should a fire ever occur. This improves evacuation zones by redirecting breathable air into those areas so your occupants can get out of the building safely.
In addition, a Building Automation System can help control, manage and schedule green building companies’ systems such as lighting, HVAC, security, access control and more. All of these features lead to lowered operational and maintenance costs. Typical buildings can see a savings of up to 15 percent in costs, translating into a savings of up to $.40 per square foot.
