Union General Hospital

Applied Building Controls installed a Reliable Controls building automation system during a $34 million expansion and renovation of Union General Hospital. The installation included 268 controllers networked across three subnetworks, a main network, and the hospital’s Ethernet network to monitor and control the facility’s HVAC system, 800-ton chilled water plant, boiler plant, fuel system, central air-handling units, rooftop units, and air-filtration systems.

Facility managers can access the system on-site or off with RC-WebView software, a browser-based building management solution that combines the power of enterprise tools with a simple interface. When the building automation system sends an alarm, building operators are notified via text. RC-Archive software provides continuous downloads of building data to an industry-standard SQL database, delivering a robust record of performance.

The Reliable Controls system is also used to monitor medical gases and interface with the Hugs infant protection and security solution.
