Tired of BAS Headaches? AEI’s Commissioning Practice Has Your Solution. Project delays and last-minute snags with Building Automation Systems are all too common. Control systems frequently finish last, resulting in operational issues that delay owner move-in and compromise energy goals. At Affiliated Engineers, we understand these frustrations firsthand and offer a better approach. Our solution is Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for BAS programming and controllers. This pre-installation commissioning process rigorously tests control logic and systems before physical installation, proactively eliminating key causes of improper operation and completion delays. Why FAT is a Game-Changer for Your Projects: 💪 Accelerated Completion & Reduced Delays: FAT helps identify anomalies and conduct preliminary testing on control logic before field activation, saving significant time and ensuring proper operation. ⚡ Proactive Issue Resolution: We prioritize completing controls programming and performance test protocol development early, resolving design questions in advance to allow ample time for programming without impacting construction schedules. 💡 Verified System Performance: Bench testing confirms the performance of your Sequence of Operations, programming logic, and user interfaces, avoiding surprises later on. ✔️ Enhanced Training & Optimization: Operating the control system outside the construction environment offers valuable opportunities for staff training and system optimization before final acceptance, ensuring readiness from day one. ⏲️ Improved Schedule Adherence: FAT mitigates unknowns, resolves issues proactively, and contributes significantly to construction schedule adherence, reducing the time needed for final acceptance phase tests. Our Commissioning Practice here at Affiliated Engineers, Inc. considers FAT essential for delivering high-performing, on-schedule buildings. Have you leveraged Factory Acceptance Testing on your projects?
