For building operation managers and owners, keeping energy costs down is a priority – at the same time, you also want your tenants to be comfortable in a healthy, clean environment. Building automation systems/services (BAS) may be the right investment to bring long-term costs down without sacrificing quality of life. Here are some insights from commercial HVAC contractors. What are Building Automation Systems? Essentially, BAS is a system of technology and equipment that allows your building’s discrete systems to be fully integrated and controlled at a central point. Systems that can be integrated in this way include commercial HVAC systems, CCTV and security systems, lighting, internet, irrigation systems and much more. Large building automation systems are often implemented as a collection point for the presentation of data from other systems. In particular, heating control systems which result in the majority of energy savings in a building, can often act as a “poor man’s” building automation system, providing internet and wireless access for monitoring energy usage throughout a building without the other bells and whistles. Feedback to Customize Services for Maximum Efficiency BAS or Energy Management Systems as they are often called, also deliver comprehensive feedback to your team, including performance data, energy use and more, which is ideal for monitoring alarms and performance analysis. It can also alert your team to potential problems in the system, for example, a drop in air pressure that may indicate a loose blower belt or that your HVAC filters need replacing. This allows you to deal with problems quickly before they result in costly inefficiencies or repairs. The system’s feedback mechanisms also allow you to identify when your HVAC is under strain by monitoring its energy usage. An unexplained spike in energy usage will be picked up immediately, allowing you to schedule a maintenance check. This extends the lifespan of your HVAC system by reducing stress factors that lead to wear-and-tear. By automatically calibrating temperature settings and making adjustments throughout the day, your tenants are not only kept happy and comfortable, you are also able to maximize savings and lower energy usage. If you have multiple tenants with different operating hours or needs, the system can deliver this with ease as well as supply individual usage monitoring to allow you to bill separately with great accuracy.

Large buildings like office buildings, schools, apartment buildings, government buildings and industrial buildings have some of the highest energy costs in the country. These systems are essential to providing fresh, clean air at a comfortable temperature throughout the year, ensuring the health and productivity of the people inside. It’s essential that building operation managers implement technology and systems that reduce these costs without compromising on air quality and comfort– this is where HVAC control systems come in. HVAC Control Systems in 2019 In the northern half of the country, saving money on energy is mostly about the ‘H’ in HVAC. Heating costs can consume anywhere from 60 to 90% of your overall energy bill, especially in older buildings with older boiler equipment or inefficient heating configurations. Modern Heating Control systems like the Heat-Timer Platinum Series, use wireless space sensors to detect everything from temperatures, to pressures in the system, even CO2 levels, and water and steam flow measurements. They use this information to carefully control multiple boilers and even learn the unique heating characteristics of your building to anticipate demand and improve heating efficiency over time. State of the art heating controls like the Heat-Timer Platinum, cost a small fraction of what the energy savings will be over time, even in a small building. It is worth getting the most modern, efficient system available because if you’re going to do the work to install it, you should be looking for the maximum savings potential long term. While this has been all about maximizing energy savings, there’s more to to be gained by implementing a state-of-the-art HVAC control system. For instance, the environmental benefits are significant, as is any investment that reduces energy usage, and the need for boiler repair and replacement. This in turn lowers emissions and waste, contributing to a lower carbon footprint. Then there’s another kind of green benefit however, government subsidies. To offset the initial investment of introducing energy efficient heating systems to your buildings, there are often state and federal rebates to support these types of eco-friendly investments because they take pressure off the electrical grid and are part of various state run “green” initiatives. But perhaps one of the best things about modern HVAC control systems is how much they can improve the quality of life of building managers and HVAC technicians across the country. Specifically, heating Controls like the Heat-Timer Platinum series for instance, are internet friendly and have mobile Apps that are completely integrated to the boiler room or rooms under control. Diagnosing system faults no longer requires a boiler room visit as the system will send alerts to building managers on their cell phones, noting where the fault occurred and what happened, so that repairs are faster and easier or even correctable by pushing a few buttons on your cell phone. These systems can help operators reduce capacity during off-peak hours and ramp it up for peak times, even allowing for separate billing to different tenants according to their use by monitoring exact energy expenditure in a specific zone.
