Building Automations & Controls
Building Automation & Controls Overview
AMS provides building automation and controls services that give facility teams clear visibility, practical control, and long-term flexibility. Our approach is centered on open systems, thoughtful integration, and solutions that put customers—not vendors—first.
Building automation systems should support how buildings operate—not restrict future options. AMS designs, installs, and supports open-protocol building automation systems that give customers flexibility, transparency, and long-term control over their facilities.
AMS is a proud representative of Honeywell WEBs and Distech Controls, and we believe strongly in open systems that do not lock customers into a single manufacturer, platform, or local service provider. Our controls teams are experienced in supporting any brand and any protocol, allowing us to work within existing environments while planning responsibly for the future.
A key part of our expertise is multi-system integration. AMS specializes in integrating multiple brands and protocols using the Niagara platform, allowing older and newer systems to operate together under a single interface. This approach enables customers to modernize building controls systematically over time, rather than replacing everything at once resulting in significant cost savings and reduced disruption.
Our controls services go beyond installation and repair. AMS provides flexible preventive maintenance agreements tailored to customer budgets and goals. These agreements may include diagnostics, troubleshooting, system tuning, graphics updates, and training for facility staff—ensuring systems remain usable, reliable, and effective.
To further support proactive operations, AMS utilizes a proprietary AI-based analytics platform that continuously evaluates controller performance. This allows us to identify issues before occupants are impacted, reduce field troubleshooting time, optimize energy performance, and refine control sequences based on real system behavior.
Our controls teams coordinate closely with our in-house HVAC, plumbing and project groups to provide a whole-building approach that ensures systems work together and deliver lasting value.
