Manage Every Aspect of Your Building
SMART Automation (SA) provides your facilities with an open, intelligent building automation and control solution that meets all of the challenges of environmentally smart integration and enterprise connectivity. You ensure complete interoperability among your diverse facility systems.

SMART Automation solutions integrate proprietary and otherwise incompatible products into a unified enterprise solution. We utilize the synchronization, management and control of the major building system functions vital to your facility. These functions include heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), energy, lighting, and video security, fire, life safety and more.

Ideal for a single building or to control an entire global campus-SMART Automation provides you with a fiscally and environmentally responsible solution to today's energy and operational needs.
SMART Automation solutions offer compelling value to building owners and facility management, including the ability to:
  • Preserve existing investments in control and monitoring devices and integrate them with new standards-based technologies
  • Access and control all diverse systems through a standard web browser
  • Combine information from different systems to improve overall facility management
  • Specify interoperable systems and applications from multiple vendors, thereby reducing vendor lock-in
  • Some Dimming capabilities thru (Switch Dimming)
  • Receive rapid financial payback, lower operational costs, reduced energy expenses, greater control and manageability of facility operations, higher security and increased occupant/tenant satisfaction


What is SMART Automation?

Designed for a wide range of single and multi-site environments:

SMART Automation intelligent building solutions enable facility managers, building owners and systems integrators to integrate proprietary and otherwise incompatible products into a unified enterprise solution. This allows personnel using a standard web browser to measure, manage and control a wide variety of facilities, energy and security applications from anywhere in the world.

Meeting all of the complex challenges of real-world integration and enterprise connectivity, SMART Automation ensures complete interoperability among diverse systems and devices by providing a single unified platform that connects these devices to each other, to enterprise systems and to the internet.

SMART Automation will synchronize, manage and control major building system functions such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, energy, lighting, security, video, fire, safety devices and more.

SMART Automation has been used to integrate numerous other facility systems, including energy metering, electrical switch gear, irrigation, elevators, generators, utility real-time pricing and many other specialized applications.

SMART Automation connects to almost any device imaginable, regardless of manufacturer or communications protocol. Supporting both wired and wireless technology, SMART Automation provides a unified solution to connect and integrate all of your building and facility systems.

ACE Energy SMART Building:

A SMART Automation Building provides building owners and facility management with a web-based building automation system that unifies diverse equipment systems and control devices into a single, easy-to-navigate website.

With the ability to integrate standard protocols with legacy systems from a wide variety of building automation providers, SMART Automation Building breaks through the traditional barriers between systems to create a seamless solution.

Utilizing a web-based application suite, a SMART Automation building can be accessed anywhere, at anytime, from any PDA or other web-enabled device.

Comprehensive tools make it easy to create custom displays to meet specific requirements. In addition, there are pre-build graphics in the library that can be used to represent mechanical and electrical systems.

The result is an intuitive user interface, making your entire facility a dynamic easy-to-navigate website customized to your specific needs.

Manage your energy and facility performance:

SMART Automation technology gathers, analyzes and communicates energy consumption and cost information, based on real-time interval data. Users gain a clear visibility into the energy consumption patterns of their facilities, making it easier to manage and optimize energy usage while identifying opportunities for performance improvement and cost savings.

SMART Automation provides you with the tools necessary to analyze and aggregate load profiles, benchmark facilities and determine how your building characteristics—such as size, equipment type, schedules and climate—correlate with energy use. Combined with the real-time control capabilities, SMART Automation lets you take action to avoid unfavorable peaks, reduce consumption, optimize equipment run times, evaluate utility rates and take advantage of demand response and real-time pricing programs.

Did you know?

Lighting accounts for nearly 30% of all commercial energy use.

A typical SMARTLight Upgrade will cut your associated electrical cost in half.

Most SMARTLight projects achieve a payback between 8 and 18 months.

Interval Data

SMARTmeter tells you when and how you use your electricity: PowerPay! SMARTmeter provides you with
“interval data”.

Interval data is hour by hour kW and kWh usage

Unexplained Costs?

Anomalies in your energy patterns cost you $$$: PowerPay!

SMARTmeter helps identify these anomalies so you can correct them and save $$$

Energy Cost Tracking

SMARTmeter allows you to track your energy costs, including a forecast of what your costs will be into the future based on your energy profile.

At the same time tracking your carbon footprint.
