Select appropriate Building Automation Controls Systems (BACS)- former defined as Direct Digital Control (DDC) hardware, field devices (sensors, actuators), and network components to meet project requirements and industry standards. Ensure designs comply with all relevant codes, including ASHRAE, LEED, BREEAM, Green Globals and local building codes.
Programming & Commissioning (Cold and Hot)
Program and configure BAS controllers and front-end user interfaces for systems like HVAC, lighting, and access control. Perform on-site commissioning and start-up to ensure systems are installed and functioning correctly according to the design specifications. Perform point-to-point checks, calibrate field devices, and optimize system performance.
Integration & Networking
Integrate various low-voltage building subsystems using standard industry protocols. Utilize BACnet (SC), Modbus, OPC-UA and other relevant communication protocols for seamless system communication. Set up and configure TCP/IP networks for building automation, including managing network security and access.
Troubleshooting & Support
Serve as the primary technical resource for complex issues related to controls, electrical systems, and network communication. Provide remote and on-site support to diagnose and resolve software and hardware problems.
