Southeast Michigan Contractors Issue 2 2021 13 GREEN BUI LDING AUTOMATION Fabricating Future Smart Buildings with Green Building Automation Plymouth company puts building efficiency first Our newest ABC SEMI member Green Building Automation, LLC (GBA) of Plymouth, MI provides cutting-edge energy management strategies and systems with affordable technology allowing owners of buildings and property managers to exert finite control over all energy-related systems. GBA provides services in the following areas for clients across Michigan, the Midwest and the nation: 1. HVAC & Temperature Controls: Our experience coupled with an extensive HVAC Engineering background gives us the ability to work directly with mechanical engineers and most building automation systems to ensure that the final design for control of HVAC is the most efficient and within the budget. After installation, training is key to system optimization. We set up custom training programs for building engineers to feel confident in managing their control systems. 2. Lighting Controls: Lighting consumes 25–30% of total building energy use. When looking to reduce overall operating costs within any commercial building, GBA generally views this as a major priority to decrease overall operating costs. 3. Security Cameras & Surveillance: Provides any facility with peace of mind knowing there are eyes everywhere to mitigate risk of an intrusion. 4. Security & Access Control Systems: Today, keeping the building secure is not only a building owner’s top priority but also their responsibility. Building access controls can include card access and biometric readers, as well as the software that supports the security system for employee and visitor management. 5. Fire Systems & Alarm Monitoring: Providing the fire protection and life safety solutions your building needs to ensure the safety of your employees, occupants, guests, and building assets. Reduce risk with a fire alarm monitoring system built specifically for your organization. 6. Design & Engineering: Differing from our competitors, we have the ability to engineer & design all of our systems for new construction and existing facilities. The entire system is fully documented within the drawings such as wiring diagrams, communication architecture, and any sequence of operations. Our drawings are also interactive to allow for the end user to easily identify and maintain wiring, cable, parts, and components that have been installed within their system. 7. System Commissioning: Systems that operate as designed is our goal. Whether through a third-party commissioning agent or our very stringent in-house commissioning reporting tool, we ensure our systems are operating per the sequence of operations. “Building systems integration continues to demonstrate a significant positive impact on building life cycle cost, primarily in the areas of operations and energy consumption.”
