Energy Automation And Analytics Help You Manage Fluctuating Power Needs

Managing energy costs is a critical element to any commercial endeavor; the more efficiently you can heat or cool a facility or reduce unnecessary electrical use, the better your margins. Energy costs will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. Further complicating things is that many states have energy efficiency standard mandates similar to California's Title 24.

Building automation involves balancing energy use and environmental impact concerns while maintaining compliance and the comfort of the occupants. Energy management entails both regulating power and aggregating data to provide a clear picture of usage.

Not All LED Lighting Systems Are Created The Same; We Test Every Bulb To Ensure You Get The Right Ones.  

Lighting has a considerable influence on our state of mind and general well-being. Research has shown that lights that generate colors that read as cold make an office uninviting, oppressive in feeling. When employees are uncomfortable, productivity and creativity drop off; conversely, a work environment that fosters warmth with inviting colors and space helps staff to excel.  

LED lighting has ushered a revolution in illumination, providing an endless color spectrum and the ability to set the mood or change the look of a space. Just touch a button, or with a voice command, the lights dim, and your business has an entirely different feel. Unfortunately, not all LED bulbs work in the same way, especially when it comes to dimming.  

Do you want to understand how choosing the wrong bulbs can leave you unsatisfied, frustrated and may even damage the commercial lighting system in your Oahu, HI business?  Read below to learn more.

Wineries

We recently crossed the ocean to help a Napa Valley winery reach its full potential with AV systems and automation. We brought smart security, climate control, audio, video, lighting and more together as we modernized Del Dotto’s sprawling, architectural space. We’re very proud to say that our ambitious Del Dotto Winery project earned us CEDIA’s “Best Innovative System or Solution” in 2019.

As you might expect, PAC automated Del Dotto’s famous winery with tasting room AV. Wineries also allow us to help behind the scenes, too. By automating the wine caves’ temperature controls, we can ensure wines are at the perfect settings during fermentation. And if there is any change in temperature or an issue that arises, the system immediately lets the employees know so that they can tend to the wine immediately.
