Automated Building Controls
The key to maintaining and understanding a building’s systems is to have the ability to monitor them. While the technology to have fully automated systems does not exist in all buildings that are retrocommissioned, where possible facility managers are trained and given access to current information via the web.
Below is an example of a screen that a facility manager or a RCx team member might use in order to identify a problem in a room or an area of a building. Through web access to the automated building controls, air flow and temperatures can be monitored as well as utility usage and alarms. This system also allows for improved control, optimized schedules based upon occupancy, and energy savings.
