A Building Automation System (BAS) serves as the brain of many modern facilities. The BAS can monitor and control all of the facility systems, including lighting, air conditioning, and process equipment.  However, a BAS will only provide all of its potential benefits if it is properly designed, applied, programmed, and managed. Casolari & Associates can help with:

• BAS Selection

Whether you have never had a BAS or need to upgrade an existing system, Casolari & Associates can help you select an appropriate building automation system and develop a complete implementation plan.  We can also design the complete system, including all system components, peripheral equipment, wiring systems, communication systems, control strategy development, and programming.
 

• BAS Installation Management

Once your BAS needs have been determined, Casolari & Associates will work with you to identify installers, solicit bids, supervise installation, perform acceptance tests, and program equipment. This will ensure that your new system operates as intended and provides all of the benefits that were envisioned with its design.
 

• Central Monitoring and Control

To take full advantage of your BAS, the system, and its control programs, must be properly maintained and monitored. Casolari & Associates will work with your monitoring center, or train in-house personnel, to program and monitor building systems and adjust control strategies to optimize occupant comfort as well as energy efficiency. This will help to identify maintenance issues before they escalate into serious problems. With our help, your BAS will reduce equipment failures and maintenance costs.
 

• BAS Performance Evaluation

Many facilities have systems that have become outdated or are underused. Casolari & Associates can evaluate existing building automation systems to identify opportunities for improved performance and increased savings.
