Building Automation Programmers

What We Do

Over time, the performance of our campus building mechanical systems may decline. This can be due to normal wear and tear, deferred maintenance, additions or major modifications, equipment malfunctions, or perhaps, out-right failure. Our UVU automation team’s approach is to help confirm systems are correctly installed, calibrated, and operating in accordance to manufactures specifications and the State of Utah’s high performance building standards.

Building Automation Costs & Billing

The Central Plant Building Automation department is state funded to maintain and operate campus facilities as originally constructed and will perform routine maintenance at their own expense. The Central Plant Preventative Maintenance team may provide work beyond the scope of routine maintenance at the expense of the requesting department and pending approval.

Campus Services bills monthly for services performed through Service Requests and for any work orders that are completed for services outside of routine maintenance services.

NOTE: A Service Request form must be submitted for all work that is considered a billable service.
