Advanced Control understands that energy consumption at colleges and universities has a large impact on both financial and environmental interests. New construction, aging infrastructure, financial constraints, increasing energy costs, and environmental responsibility are motivating institutions to re-evaluate their energy demand and related conservation programs. In a time of growing concern about increasing tuition costs and greater competition for qualified students, institutions must take every measure possible to reduce this large line-item in the budget.

The system provided by Advanced Control Corporation for Palm Beach State College controls and monitors all of the air handling units, variable air volume boxes, indoor air quality (CO2), indoor relative humidity, exhaust air system, and the chilled water system. The new center saves 29 percent in energy costs.  No building is too big or too small for some money saving automation by Advanced Control.

Advanced Control was thrilled to hear that green buildings were not enough for Palm Beach State College; they are teaching green construction technology.  Palm Beach State College has incorporated green building technology into all three of their construction programs. This program assures that sustainable construction knowledge is acquired by all students completing the new programs.  The college has also established the Institute for Energy & Environmental Sustainability (IEES) to meet the community’s need for a highly-trained workforce in emerging green Industry sectors such as: renewable energy, clean technology, smart grid operations, alternative transportation, and energy efficiency.

Building automation gives you control over your building’s energy costs by giving you control over the systems that use the most energy – lighting, and the HVAC equipment.  When a building is automated seamlessly, its daily routines are uninterrupted and as a result, its inhabitants need not be aware of what goes on behind the scenes-this is the ideal situation. Advanced Control Corporation achieves seamless integration in a cost effective manner. Our building automation systems can be installed in buildings with existing HVAC equipment and other building automation components via various open protocols. By interfacing with the systems of other manufacturer’s, our featured systems can communicate to the entire building and share information between systems such as fire alarms, CCTV systems, lighting controls and more.

By providing both an HVAC and lighting control simultaneously, Advanced Control Corporation keeps your building running efficiently.  A complete building automation solution will give you total control of your structure, if you are on the grounds or away. Automatic after-hours tenant override is a customized solution to enable tenants to override preset building automation scheduling and HVAC systems via the internet or a touch-tone phone after business hours.   Advanced Control’s systems assign equipment to specified zones, allowing multiple tenant access to the same mechanical equipment.  Our systems have the ability to accommodate a high volume of tenants with ease.

If want to bill your tenet’s for their energy use than Advanced Control has the system for you.  Management is able to track the extra usage as each specific tenant zone features its own hourly billing rate.  Tenants can schedule overrides affective same day, or future dated. Building managers can then bill the tenants according to the override activities using available tracking software, when the occupant uses more than their allotted amount of energy. Management is able to track the extra usage as each specific tenant zone features its own hourly billing rate.  Tenants and management are provided with detailed billing summary reports monthly. Our systems have uncomplicated the lives of building administrators and their tenants.

If you do not monitor, you cannot possibly get a handle around the energy consumption of your tenants and your building.  Advanced Control Corporation provides a full portfolio of metering and monitoring solutions for building automation needs.  Call Advanced Control Corporation today and let one of our experts customize a building automation system for you.  Advanced Control provides building automation in South Florida, as well as energy management, access control, CCTV solutions and more.

When not properly ventilated, CO concentration can build to toxic levels. Effects of CO poisoning include headache, nausea and fatigue, or at higher levels, confusion, staggering, heart palpitation, unconsciousness and death. Furthermore, when CO emissions fill a space, the oxygen in that space is depleted, causing asphyxiation.

Advanced Control Corporation has the air quality control solution that monitors and eliminates unsafe levels of both CO and NO2 in your parking garage.  Proper ventilation is the key to eliminating these gases. While inadequate ventilation can drastically increase the risks of liability, continuous operation of ventilation systems can be costly. With Advanced Control’s automation system your garage exhaust fans will be activated only when gases are present. Our system allows for control of exhaust fan variable speed drive improving your energy efficiency.   In many cases, installation of CO monitoring and ventilation systems can save up to 85% in energy costs.

Building automation is not just for new buildings; Advanced Control can install systems as a building is being construction or can retrofit your older building.   The system can be hardwired or wireless to allow ease of installation.

Building automation system is a computerized, intelligent network of hardware and software designed to monitor and control the environment in a building.  It controls the mechanical electronics, and lighting systems in a building, usually a commercial, industrial or institution facility. It ensures the operation performance of the building as well as the comfort and safety of the building’s occupants.  Building automation systems can increase a building’s security and lower a building’s energy consumption.

What does a building automation system control?

Building automation begins with the control of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.  The heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) is almost always included.  Other areas that can be controlled include lighting, security, close circuit video (CCTV),  elevator monitoring, plumbing and water monitoring, electrical usage, CO monitoring for parking garages, chiller plant, tenant override and access control.

How does a building automation system help me?

Employees who are the most comfortable put in the best efforts for the company, and consumers within your facility are apt to have a better experience. Temperature control through the proper building automation system is an ideal way to reduce energy costs by insuring that each area is accurately monitored and maintaining the specified set points. In addition, it is also a great way to reduce negative impact on the environment, making your building more green friendly.

We all know that leaving lights on, costs money.  With a building automation system that includes lighting control you will no longer be wasting electricity and money on a lite empty room.  Security is important to everyone and with a close circuit video system and motion sensor lighting you can easily improve your buildings security providing a safer environment for employees and tenants.

The range of control can be from a basic control system for lighting and equipment switching applications which are ideal for use in facilities where time-of-day control is being managed from a time clock or centralized building management system to a fully automatic lighting control for all of your facilities lighting circuits. Lighting control can be applied to indoor areas such as offices, cubicles, cafeterias, and storage areas as well as outdoor parking lots, garages, walkways, and signs. These lighting control systems can be incorporated as part of a new construction project or retrofitted to your facilities existing lighting circuits to allow all types of buildings to have the efficient control of the lighting circuits.

By using a program like Square D lighting, you gain control over scheduling, occupant control, and dimming control over all the lighting systems in your buildings. This safety and security also saves money when it comes to your energy bill. Advanced Control has programs that give users the freedom to opt for a telephone or an internet based override system.

There are different options when selecting the appropriate Square D Lighting control products for your business. Powerlink G3 has remote operated circuit breakers that control electronics.
