A Day in the Life at Total Automation Concepts: Bringing Smart Buildings to Life

Rise and Shine: The Morning Commute

As I navigate the bustling streets of Chicago, I can’t help but feel excited about the day ahead at Total Automation Concepts, Inc. Our team is dedicated to revolutionizing buildings across the Chicagoland area, from Bolingbrook to Oak Brook, and everywhere in between.

First Stop: Building Automation System Check

My day typically begins with a thorough review of our ongoing Building Automation System (BAS) projects. These intelligent systems are the backbone of modern, efficient buildings, controlling everything from HVAC to energy management. Today, I’m focusing on a large-scale implementation in Downers Grove, ensuring all components are communicating seamlessly.

Mid-Morning: Security System Service Call

Next up is a security system service call in Naperville. Our client reported some irregularities in their access control system, so I’m headed out to diagnose and resolve the issue. It’s crucial to keep these systems running smoothly to maintain the safety and security of our clients’ properties.

Lunch Break: Team Collaboration

Back at the office, I join my colleagues for a quick lunch and brainstorming session. We’re discussing an upcoming Lighting Control System Installation in Tinley Park, strategizing on how to maximize energy efficiency while creating a comfortable environment for the building’s occupants.

Afternoon: Building Integration System Installation

The afternoon is dedicated to overseeing a Building Integration System Installation in Oak Brook. This project involves:

  • Integrating various subsystems (HVAC, lighting, security)
  • Setting up a centralized control interface
  • Training the facility staff on system operation

It’s exciting to see all these technologies coming together to create a truly smart building.

Wrapping Up: Planning and Reporting

As the day winds down, I return to our Bolingbrook office to complete my project reports and plan for tomorrow. The variety in my work at Total Automation Concepts keeps me engaged and always learning. From BAS to security systems, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to innovate in the world of building automation.
