BAS Advanced Design - DES100

BAS Advanced Design - DES100 (formerly Design for BAS Professionals) takes the student from start to finish through the process of designing a BAS. We begin by reviewing a set of mechanical drawings, specifications, and scope of work. We perform a mock sales to operations hand-off and then move through the process of creating a full set of submittal documentation. Along the way we address topics like, RFI’s, submittal rejection, close out documentation, and advanced design strategies like retrofit and IP controller designs. Scroll down to the description section for details.
