Need help with Building Controls and Building Automation Systems?
At IBS, the basic building block of our design/build, new construction, and retrofitting business is Controls.
And by that, we mean any control, from a light switch to a thermostat, to the most sophisticated digital HVAC controls and occupancy sensors.
These controls, and many others, are what we link and program into Energy Management Systems (EMS) and Building Management Systems (BMS). With additional controls, we can provide real-time and/or cumulative Energy Monitoring services, Lighting Control systems and Security services.
