The advent of energy efficiency and green building design criteria has fostered greater need in intelligent and integrated building design practices. The delivery model for intelligent buildings, however, continues to rely on established approaches for the delivery of today’s advanced system requirements. Design/ Build and Design/Bid/ Build approaches toward automation system designs and upgrades can fail to achieve the intent of intelligent, efficient and integrated system design requirements.
Today’s building automation delivery model requires an integrated delivery method to lead the system design and integration. Critical Systems Testing has developed strategic partnerships to address the delivery model requirements of today’s modern automation systems. Our partnership is comprised of individuals and experts bringing skills to bear to deliver an open and intuitive energy management platform. Through shared responsibilities in the design and delivery of efficient and open energy usage platforms we seek to bridge between conventional engineering and the vast array of technology which is evolving the functional aspects of today’s intelligent building. Our services achieve our clients’ needs and expectations so that the completed design provides improved end user comfort and productivity and the owner ends up with reductions in operating and maintenance costs and improved facility management efficiencies.
Design, integration and technology consulting services are shown below. These service offering are intended to be coupled or decoupled in any manner to achieve the client’s needs and expectations.
- Consulting on integrated building automation, open protocol technologies, enterprise connectivity, with today’s facility management software.
- Integration of automation technology to deliver the maximum number of LEED
prerequisites and credits. - Development of design drawings, and custom architected division 25 project specifications.
- Master System Integrator to coordinate the design deliverable and integration of technologies.
- Design and specifications of custom graphical user interfaces, with embedded energy dashboards, to provide system benchmarking and Measurement & Verification (M&V).
- Consulting on the selection of the correct technologies and methods of integration.
- Design/ build contracting installation of designs and energy recommendations and/or project/ construction administration.
