I took over our safety program in 2008. This year, the SMACNA Safety Sponsorship sent me to the NSC Safety Congress. Here’s what I brought home.
What separates a lab BAS from a building BAS, why valve mechanism matters more than valve brand, and how Athena Engineering ties lab controls into Schneider EcoStruxure EBO for a single operator pane of glass across labs, hoods, plant, and AHUs.
How Athena Engineering designed and built a custom VRF retrofit for the Ebell of Los Angeles — a 1927 historic theater featured in LG’s national case study. LG Multi V 5, Schneider EcoStruxure controls, Zigbee sensors, and the largest LG AHU project in North America at the time.
Schneider EcoStruxure and JCI Facility Explorer. Migrations off pneumatics, LON, and legacy controls — plus new construction.
