Tridium
Tridium is a worldwide leader in building automation software and is the developer of the Niagara Framework. Niagara can communicate and translates data from almost any device and system and allows it to be served up to a Building Automation System with advanced graphical interface.
Niagara 4 is the latest software offering from Tridium with nearly one million instances of Niagara in hundreds of thousands of projects around the world. Niagara 4 can interface with multivendor devices and systems with their respective communication protocols and normalize it under the umbrella of the Niagara Framework. This makes Tridium an ideal choice for integration projects.
Tridium uses the JACE 8000 supervisory controller. It is optimized for Niagara 4 and can communicate with new and legacy systems. It can also be configured to act as the Building Automation interface with advanced graphics that can be accessed via an internet browser.
For larger projects that have multiple JACE’s spread out geographically, a Niagara Supervisor host server will allow you to have visibility and control across a campus, school district or municipalities.
HVAC Mechanical Services
In addition to support of the Building Management Systems, many of our customers request Metro Controls to provide service and maintenance of the entire HVAC system. Our HVAC Service Technicians specialize in keeping the mechanical equipment in proper working order. We often know a problem has occurred before our customers do with our Web based monitoring and email alerts of alarm conditions sent to our office. Additionally, our service department can diagnose the nature of the issues and quite often, assist the end user to resolve the problem without sending a technician to the site..
