Tri-Tech Energy

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 “po...

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 ...
