Building automation system BMS control panel showing HVAC climate zones

Your Building Has 50 Thermostats. Who's Managing Them?

You're paying to cool empty conference rooms. The warehouse is freezing while the office is sweltering. Your energy bill keeps climbing, but nobody can figure out why. And when something breaks at 2am, you don't know until employees complain Monday morning.

Building automation puts you in control. One dashboard. Every zone. Real-time alerts when something goes wrong. Schedules that actually match how your building operates. Air Boss has been integrating BMS and smart controls for commercial buildings in Laredo for 30 years—we know what works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a building automation system (BAS)?

A BAS is a centralized control system that manages HVAC, lighting, and other building systems. It uses sensors, controllers, and software to automate operations, optimize energy use, and provide real-time monitoring and control from a single interface.
Can automation be added to existing HVACR systems?

Yes, we can retrofit automation controls to most existing HVACR equipment. We assess your current systems and recommend the best approach to add smart controls, remote monitoring, and automated scheduling without replacing functional equipment.
How much can building automation save on energy costs?

Building automation typically reduces HVAC energy costs by 15-30%. Savings come from optimized scheduling, demand-based ventilation, temperature setbacks during unoccupied hours, and eliminating simultaneous heating and cooling.
Can I control my building's HVAC from my phone?

Yes, modern BAS systems include web and mobile access. You can monitor temperatures, adjust setpoints, receive alerts, and view energy data from anywhere. This is especially useful for property managers overseeing multiple locations or for responding quickly to after-hours issues.
What happens if the automation system fails?

We design systems with failsafe modes so HVAC equipment continues operating if communication is lost. Individual controllers can run on last-known settings or default schedules. We also offer 24/7 monitoring services that alert us to issues before they become problems.
How long does it take to install building automation?

Installation time depends on building size and complexity. A small office might take 1-2 weeks, while a large facility could take several months. We phase installations to minimize disruption and can often work during off-hours to avoid impacting your operations.
