BAS sets the stage for Montgomery's riverfront rebirth
When the city government, the Montgomery Riverfront Foundation, and the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce formed an alliance with the civic center to capitalize on the tremendous economic development potential of Alabama's Capital City Riverfront, the city realized the growing demand on the civic center would have to be met with expansions to the 1975 facility now - even before other renovations officially begin next year.
Thus, a world-class BAS system was needed to support the planned expansions, as well as to implement cost-saving measures in the existing facility in preparation for the 2005 renovations. The civic center accommodates both large and small events on a nearly year-round basis. In many cases the system must meet the needs of multiple events simultaneously. The new system would have to meet constant schedule changes, better control over zone temperatures, and cost-effective energy management measures, as well as the need for future flexibility and expansion. Alabama Industrial Services, a Teletrol Systems integrator, knew that the Teletrol eBuilding Internet-powered automation system would be the perfect fit and contacted the civic center to discuss the project.
