We're an authorized dealer for Distech Controls and Schneider Electric EcoStruxure — non-proprietary, open-protocol systems that give you full control over HVAC, lighting, and energy management from a single platform. Unlike proprietary systems that lock you into one vendor, our BAS solutions work with any contractor for future service and upgrades.
BAS Integration

No Long-Term Contracts Required
We don't lock you into proprietary systems. Our BAS solutions use open protocols so you're never trapped.
Who Needs Building Automation?
Any commercial or industrial building spending over $5,000/month on energy should consider building automation. Office buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels, manufacturing plants, government facilities, and multi-tenant properties all benefit from centralized control of HVAC, lighting, and energy systems. BAS reduces energy waste, improves occupant comfort, and gives facility managers real-time visibility into building performance.

Our BAS Implementation Process
Discovery & Audit
We audit your building's current systems — HVAC, lighting, controls — and identify opportunities for automation and energy savings.
System Design
We design a BAS architecture using open protocols (BACnet, Modbus) that integrates with your existing equipment. No proprietary lock-in.
Installation & Programming
We install controllers, sensors, and actuators, then program schedules, setpoints, and optimization routines specific to your building.
Commissioning & Training
We commission the system under real operating conditions, train your staff, and set up remote monitoring. You'll have full visibility from day one.
BAS Cost Factors
Building automation costs depend on building size and complexity:
- Number of HVAC units and zones to control
- Lighting control integration
- Number of points (sensors, actuators, controllers)
- Whether existing equipment supports automation
- Remote monitoring and dashboard requirements
- ROI: most BAS installations pay for themselves in 2-4 years through energy savings
Building Automation Systems (BAS) FAQs
What is a building automation system?
A BAS is a computerized system that controls and monitors a building's HVAC, lighting, and other mechanical systems. It optimizes energy use, maintains comfort, and gives facility managers real-time control from a web dashboard or mobile app.
Why Distech Controls instead of proprietary systems?
Distech Controls uses open BACnet protocols, which means any qualified contractor can service your system. Proprietary systems like Tridium, JCI Metasys, or Siemens lock you into one vendor for all future service and upgrades — often at premium prices.
How much can BAS save on energy costs?
Building automation typically reduces energy costs by 15-30%. For a building spending $10,000/month on energy, that's $18,000 to $36,000 per year in savings. Most systems pay for themselves in 2-4 years.
Can you upgrade my existing BAS?
Yes. We retro-commission existing systems, upgrade outdated controllers, and migrate proprietary systems to open-protocol Distech Controls. We can also integrate BAS with your existing HVAC equipment.
Do you provide ongoing BAS support?
Yes. We offer ongoing support contracts that include remote monitoring, programming updates, alarm management, and on-site service. Your system stays optimized as your building's needs change.
Why Choose Hadley Energy Solutions?

That means we understand the full picture: how your BAS integrates with your electrical system, HVAC equipment, and energy management strategy. And because we install non-proprietary Distech Controls systems, you're never locked into a single vendor.
