At PCS Energy, we have centered all of our services around delivering the greatest possible level of energy efficiency and productivity for your building. This philosophy goes into all of our practices and methods, and it is demonstrated best in our process and building automation systems.
We recommend services like LED lighting and solar energy because they are more efficient ways of managing your energy usage, but process automation is a transformation of the way you manage your building processes as a whole. When you take advantage of our building management systems, you have greater control over your entire building operations.
What Is a Building Automation System?
Process and building automation are broad terms that refer to a centralized network of systems that all work together to monitor and control the functions of a building or facility. They can control the building’s environment through the HVAC systems. The controls can adapt to changing energy demands during times of higher occupancy or scale back for times of lower occupancy.
With PCS Energy, you can have a control system that displays all the relevant information for you to monitor an entire facility from a centralized user interface. These systems do reduce energy costs, but that is not all. Once these systems are in place, your entire operation becomes more productive and profitable.
At PCS Energy, we look for every opportunity to lower your operating costs and increase the efficiency of your facility. Reach out to us today to learn more about all of the things we can do for your business. We’ll bring all the tools and experience at our disposal to improve your processes.
What Advantages do Building Management Systems Offer?
The experts at PCS Energy have in-depth knowledge of how to provide energy savings for a multitude of different businesses, but process automation is about more than renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies like LED light bulbs. Building automation systems work to eliminate any wasted energy, human error, and delayed reaction times and replace them with reliable automated responses.
Simple tasks like adjusting the interior lighting and HVAC systems to times of low occupancy are automated functions that you no longer have to worry about. These systems will react faster and more consistently than any human employee ever could. That rapid reaction time is also a high-quality safety feature. If you run an industrial facility that deals with hazardous environments or products, you need a system that can react quickly to signs of danger like rising pressure or temperatures beyond acceptable levels.
Process automation tools like variable frequency drives and programmable logic controllers can react to warning signs like this and shut down machinery or start to cool down a system for you. By eliminating dangers like this and removing time-wasting bumps in the road like HVAC adjustment, you will see your productivity rise higher and higher.
Energy Savings Combined With Process Optimization
Building automation works to lower operating costs and raise your productivity with controls that are smarter and centralized. PCS Energy works directly with you to develop a control dashboard that collects and reports all of the data throughout your facility. This collection of data empowers you with up-to-the-minute information about what is going on in your facility and how your systems are responding. This advantage is part of our overall strategy for making your operations more comfortable and productive.
