SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Science and technology facility managers have a unique set of challenges for their building management systems. Precise temperature, humidity and differential pressure control, fume hood face velocity, toxic gas detection, room airflow offsets are all critical environmental factors to be controlled and monitored. All of this must be achieved while meeting applicable occupant safety standards and compliance with all building codes.

The building automation system is an essential tool for maintaining a safe occupant environment – both in responding instantly with high volume ventilation in the event of toxic material incursion into occupant spaces, and to ensure consistently healthy air quality to ensure the cognitive health of occupants which is conducive to the high level innovative thinking needed in the Science and Technology industry.

The Automated Logic WebCTRL custom programmable enterprise platform has the power and flexibility to manage the diverse and complex needs of the critical environments of science and technology facilities.
