Encompassing a comprehensive range of current technologies and disciplines to maintain comfort, control and energy savings in residential and commercial HVAC systems and facilities, the Building Automation Systems curriculum provides students with the understanding of building automation and system integration, along with the knowledge on how to install, service and sell controls equipment including access controls, fire alarm systems, lighting controls, security systems, and HVAC controls.

Students learn the combination of skills that enable them to enter the field of building automation and controls. They can choose to work for major controls companies who specialize in building automation, for companies whose focus is purely installation of automation systems, and/or for facilities management companies who focus on commercial systems and controls automation.

“We are committed to helping cultivate the next generation of building automation and controls technicians to ensure they are prepared to succeed in the industry,” said Robert Croom, Program Director at Georgia Piedmont Technical College. “Students are the future of our industry and will fill a wide range of critical positions that are immediately available. Lynxspring’s donation, along with their partner, Southland Controls, is a testament to both companies’ commitment to helping us do this.”
