Commercial Automation Solutions for Northbrook Businesses

Your business is more productive and simpler to operate when all your technology and subsystems work together with easy user control. In the morning pressing a single “Daytime” button to deactivate the alarm system, turn lights on, open shades, set temperature, and turn on video displays. By integrating everything from your audio, video, lights, window treatments, climate, and security you have complete and easy control of your space from a single touch screen, keypad, remote or mobile device. Or perhaps, have your lights automatically adjust based on daylight or occupancy levels, or simply at certain times during the day.

With motorized window treatments you can easily adjust the amount of daylight in your space to increase comfort, save energy, and protect interiors. Automated shading and drapery transforms harsh glare into soft pleasing light, enhances privacy while preserving exterior views, reduces solar heat gain, and provides UV protection of expensive furnishings and artwork. Have a game changing presentation? The ability to transform daytime into nighttime for theatric presentations worthy of cinematic ambiance can make all the difference in communicating your message to an enthusiastic audience with the simple press of a button. Owners and members of the design team have hundreds of window treatment fabric and color options available to compliment any décor.

Smart control of heating, ventilation and cooling makes it easy for you to set the perfect temperature of your business regardless of the season or other environmental conditions. Create a comfortable environment by making adjustments from the same touch screen you use to control lights, shades, and the AV system. Monitor and control your thermostats from a mobile device if AC is blasting in an unoccupied area or turn up the heat to increase comfort for guests and employees. Save energy with programmed settings and integration to a building automation system.

Integrating non-intrusive occupancy monitoring with a smart technology system enables advanced energy-efficiency optimization to be realized. A variety of environmental sensors for motion, acoustic, and heat are positioned within the space to effectively determine if anyone is in the room and trigger automatic adjustments to subsystems such as electric lighting and window treatments, HVAC, audio and video. You no longer need to worry that the AC is blasting or lights are on when nobody is in the room. Additionally, usage patterns over time are analyzed and sensitivity levels of the sensors are adapted accordingly.

Our entry systems provide more control for small, medium and nationwide businesses. Ensure access to your property or certain areas of it is granted only to authorized individuals. They can be standalone or integrated into your other technology systems to maximize efficiency for example, adding video capability so you can see who’s coming in and out. Get detailed audit trail reports letting you know who went where and when. Access can be controlled with magnetic door locks, biometric fingerprint, and perimeter barriers such as gate control. Together, we can customize a solution for your specific needs.
