Frigcorp Building Technologies is a comprehensive systems integration specialist in the building automation, energy management and access control market At Frigcorp we seek to add value to a client’s built environment by engineering, installing and servicing building automation systems that provide comfort and energy efficiency.
Building Management System (BMS) or Building Automation System (BAS) are both examples of a distributed control system – the computer networking of electronic devices designed to monitor and control the mechanical, security, fire and flood safety, lighting (especially emergency lighting), HVAC and humidity control and ventilation systems in a building.
BAS core functionality keeps building climate within a specified range, lights rooms based on an occupancy schedule, monitors performance and device failures in all systems, provides malfunction alarms (via typically email and/or text notifications) to building engineering/maintenance staff and contractors. BAS reduce building energy and maintenance costs compared to a non-controlled building. Typically they are financed through energy and insurance savings, and other savings associated with pre-emptive maintenance and quick detection of issues.
