System Integration
 
Setpoint Systems has designed and installed over 1600 integrated building control systems throughout the Western United States.  The control systems integrated together are HVAC controls, lighting, elevator, security, card access, CCTV, fire alarm, fire suppression, power monitoring, energy management, chillers, boilers, air handling and more over a common/shared seamless infrastructure.  Setpoint’s integrated projects range from data centers and hospitals to high-rise buildings and universities.
 
The savings achieved by integrating dissimilar systems and dissimilar manufacturers over a common network sharing information is substantial. 
 
For example:

• Lower design cost:  designing one control system that encompasses all the major building systems takes less time than designing three or four separate systems.


• Quicker commissioning:  all building control devices are connected to a common network and communicate using a common protocol.  On a common front-end system, if changes are required, reconfigurations can be generated via the same front end.


• Reduced lifecycle costs:  minimizes the number of devices required to achieve overall system functionality and allows all building control devices to share a single communications network.


• Monitoring:  with an integrated solution, facility personnel can easily monitor critical metrics like energy consumption and occupancy patterns from a single and/or multiple workstations and/or... the Internet.


• Improved flexibility:  designing around BACnet simplifies building system integration. It allows designers to choose from numerous native BACnet devices from multiple manufacturers.
