Building Automation Programmers

What We Do

The Building Automation Team installs, oversees and maintains a computer based network connection that operates campus HVAC equipment.  This system is referred to as the "Building Automation System" or "BAS".

Over time, system performance can decline due to normal wear and tear. UVU's BAS employs real-time and 24 hour monitoring. The team makes use of this information to ensure HVAC systems are correctly calibrated and operating in accordance with manufacturer specifications and Utah State's high performance building standards.

Building Automation Costs & Billing

The Central Plant Building Automation department is state funded to maintain and operate campus facilities as originally constructed and will perform routine maintenance at their own expense. The Central Plant Preventative Maintenance team may provide work beyond the scope of routine maintenance at the expense of the requesting department and pending approval.

Campus Services bills monthly for services performed through Service Requests and for any work orders that are completed for services outside of routine maintenance services.

NOTE: A Service Request form must be submitted for all work that is considered a billable service.
