FAQ
1. What is a building automation system (BAS)?

Yes. Our team designs automation solutions that can either upgrade or integrate with your current systems – including legacy HVAC controls, lighting, energy dashboards, and more.
4. How does automation reduce labor costs or manual tasks?
Our systems automate everything from daily scheduling and setpoint changes to fault detection and alerting – cutting down on the need for constant manual intervention or on-site troubleshooting.
5. What brands or platforms do you work with?
We’re experienced with Siemens, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Distech, and other leading platforms, but our approach is always customized to what works best for your building’s needs.
6. Do you offer remote access and mobile-friendly dashboards?
