PRO Mechanical Services, Inc. Honored

Pro Mechanical Services, Inc. Was Honored for Case Study
 Pro Mechanical Services, Inc. was one of three contractors honored for the work accomplished on a project at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture that turned into a Case Study. Ryan Vanos and Jon Vanos received the award at Honeywell's Momentum Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this past week.

The Goals of this project were the following:

· Increase functionality by integrating systems onto single platform
· Control building from one location
· Control individual rooms based on specific exhibit schedule
· Manage climate control in key exhibit areas
· Optimize energy savings
· Utilize existing components and systems where possible

The Honeywell Products Pro Mechanical Services Installed:

· WEBs-AX™ building automation software
· WEBs-AX 600 conrtoller
· Spyder® controllers
· Tridium Niagara Framework®

The Results Were:

·         Used existing components and sensors—WEBs-AX 600 backbone central control
·         Ability to control rooms based on meeting and exhibit schedules
·         Flexibility of the system to manage specific areas and maximize energy savings
·         Scheduling around peak load times now possible
·         Achieved significant energy savings even when raw energy costs went up
·         Obtained energy savings on project by taking advantage of local utility incentives
·         Reduced cost on maintenance and service now that 90 percent can be managed remotely

“It just doesn’t make sense to expend the energy to maintain an entire building just to provide the proper temperature and humidity to an exhibit that occupies a fraction of the overall space.  We needed precise control.” –Mark Webber, Facilities Manager, Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture, Spokane, WA

CONGRATULATIONS to all the employees that helped make the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture Case Study a success!!!
