Hello and welcome to Automatic Buildings. Our business is control all
aspects of control in the Home and Workplace. We are not affiliated to
a single component manufactures and as a result we can offer an
individual perspective to your building automation requirements.
Offering a range of services from Project Management and Design
through to Installation and Commissioning followed by support for
life.
We will install any system for our
customers, and with our background in industrial control we believe we
are in a unique position within this sector as the systems now being
implemented in our homes are identical to the systems we have been
installing for many years in machine and automation control, the only
difference is that component suppliers like Clipsal are now developing
devices which look good on the walls in our homes.
Need a Quotation just e-mail a specification or send your drawings.
Not sure what you require we have a standard quotation package which
will price for a

What is Building Automation?
Building Automation
covers a wide range of products and applications, but basically it
means to automate part or all of the systems in a building. There are
several reasons for doing this over conventional systems but in the
main to save energy, improve safety and the quality of our lives. We can
achieve this in several ways but the main components are
Lighting, Audio Video
distribution, Networks,
Curtain Control, Heating
and Ventilation control, Security and so
on.

Design Service.
We offer a design service for Homes and
Commercial properties. For the implementation of Intelligent lighting,
Heat and Ventilation control, Power distribution systems, Security
systems, Audio Video systems, and much more please call.

DIY Kits.
Looking to install your Owen systems
we will design a system for you and supply all of the component parts
for DIY installation offering support along the way and help in part
or fully with the system programming and commissioning. Alternatively
we can supply kits made up to your specification supplying cable in
cut lengths and just one switch if that's what is required.

Show House.
Our Show home is currently being
designed and installation has begun. The house is a 4 bedroom detached
family home situated just off junction 4 of the M6 the
same junction as the NEC in Birmingham. When finished it will comprise
a network based lighting and control systems, home audio video,
central heating control, a security system, a data and telephone
network, Smoke and gas detection system and more still to be
developed.
The designs, Pictures and comments on
how we get on will be posted here. If you would like to visit and take
a look please call.

Show Factory.
This is still to be developed but
over the coming months we will be installing industrial
standard dimmers, motor drives, and factory security all internet
connected for real time viewing on the internet. We will also be
talking about the money saving and energy saving benefits of these
systems.

Schneider and Automatic Buildings Joint Venture - Lighting Control.
Each control centre has been designed
to control 27, 20amp lighting circuits and 4 emergency lighting
circuits and as standard there are 27 inputs for field switches. Each
centre can be connected to the next on Ethernet with up to 15 boards
on a single system. A single 10" colour touch screen is fitted in the
building for programming and control. From this screen it is possible
to set the input to output relationships for each circuit, alter
on/off times for each circuit with 12 timed periods for each day,
Manually override a single circuit, Monitor Voltage, Current and Power
consumption for each centre. Inputs are allocated for Global on/off.
Fire alarm, and user inputs for custom control. Further developments
are planed for smaller units and control expansion for integrated
heating and ventilation control.
