Applied Sciences Group, Inc.

reduce energy consumption and operating costs

provide intelligent control over and management of lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation, and, increasingly, building security and fire/smoke detection

they help offset the rising demand for and cost of energy through energy conservation

they give building operators greater control over building climate (heating, air conditioning, ventilation and lighting) leading to improved worker satisfaction

they enable building operators to troubleshoot HVAC systems

Initially, energy management systems were highly proprietary, linked to the HVAC systems with which they were operationally coupled. However, market demand for higher levels of functional control and competitive pricing have driven energy management systems of today to open systems architecture and platforms, and hardware interoperability.

The Timber II system is an integrated Microsoft Windows program suite that provides monitoring and control functions for a facility's lighting and HVAC equipment.

These monitoring and control functions provide information about the condition and status of the facility and via this information automatically control devices to reduce energy usage. Monitoring and control functions are communicated to the physical equipment through field interface hardware and I/O subsystem software. The Timber II system supports multiple hardware types and I/O subsystems, allowing for a broad mix of new and old equipment for the user.

This arrangement allows for systematic replacement of obsolete field interface hardware instead of being forced to completely replace all existing equipment.

We invite you to review our Energy Management System case study, listed upper right, and would welcome the opportunity to work with you to define your requirements, provide a proposal for achieving your objectives, and then put our expertise to work for you.
