I have over five years of hands-on experience with building automation systems, including programming, troubleshooting, and optimizing HVAC, lighting, and energy management systems. I am proficient with platforms like Siemens Desigo, Honeywell EBI, and Tridium Niagara. My role involved integrating BAS with IoT devices to enhance energy efficiency and ensure compliance with sustainability standards. I’ve also conducted regular system audits to identify inefficiencies and implemented corrective measures, resulting in a 15% reduction in energy consumption across multiple facilities.

When troubleshooting, I start by systematically isolating the issue, beginning with the most common failure points like sensors, wiring, or software configurations. I use diagnostic tools and software to analyze system logs and pinpoint the root cause. For example, if a thermostat isn’t responding, I check its power supply, communication lines, and programming. Once identified, I implement a solution, test the system, and document the process to prevent future occurrences. My methodical approach ensures minimal downtime and maintains system reliability.

I optimize energy consumption by analyzing energy usage patterns and identifying inefficiencies through data from BAS and IoT devices. I implement strategies like scheduling HVAC and lighting systems based on occupancy, upgrading to energy-efficient equipment, and integrating renewable energy sources. For instance, I once reduced a facility’s energy costs by 20% by reprogramming HVAC setpoints and installing motion sensors. I also educate staff on energy-saving practices and monitor system performance to ensure sustained efficiency.

I stay updated on local and international energy regulations, such as ASHRAE and ISO 50001, and ensure systems are designed and operated accordingly. I conduct regular audits to verify compliance and maintain detailed documentation for inspections. For example, I ensured a facility met LEED certification requirements by optimizing its BAS and implementing energy-saving measures. I also collaborate with regulatory bodies and attend training sessions to stay informed about evolving standards.

One challenging project involved integrating a legacy HVAC system with a modern BAS. The system was outdated, and compatibility issues caused frequent malfunctions. I conducted a thorough assessment, replaced obsolete components, and reprogrammed the system using Tridium Niagara. I also trained the maintenance team on the new setup. The project was completed on time, resulting in improved system performance and a 25% reduction in energy costs. This experience honed my problem-solving skills and ability to manage complex integrations.
