Building Automation Systems

A Network of Comfort

Building Automation Systems (BAS) are combinations of interconnected hardware, software, and HVAC components that enable centralized monitoring and management in commercial buildings. At Burkholder’s HVAC, we install and service building automation systems from several manufacturers for applications of any size.

Whether you are building a new structure and want the latest HVAC innovations or renovating an existing building and need to replace outdated systems, a building automation and control system is a great choice. There are many acronyms for these types of system,s such as:

  • BAS – Building Automation Systems
  • BACS – Building Automation and Control Systems
  • BCS – Building Control Systems
  • BMS – Building Management Systems
  • DDC – Direct Digital Control, the communication system used for components to communicate
  • EMS – Energy Management System, a BACS with an emphasis on energy management

The list goes on and on. Most importantly, these systems allow you to control and monitor components like Heat Pumps, Roof Top Units, Air Handlers, VAV boxes, Fan Coil units, Boilers, Chillers, and more. Saving energy is even easier with features like automated lighting control and power monitoring.

Building Automation and Control Systems have changed over the years from pneumatic (air-based) to electronic, using digital control devices (DDC). Most recently, standards have been put in place to provide communication between devices from various manufacturers using the BACnet protocol developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

Burkholder’s HVAC can help you save time, money, and energy with a BACS solution. We will even provide service on your current BACS, even if we did not install it!
