Building Automation Systems & Controls Engineering
Building Automation Systems (BAS), also known as building management systems, allow a controller to operate, control, and access a series of connected buildings from a unified interface. Controls Engineering is a practice that uses sensors and detectors to measure the output of a controlled process.
VBFA is a team of full-service engineering professionals that has created reliable, long-lasting building management systems throughout Utah and Arizona. We stay on the cutting edge of technology to provide building automation systems that are sustainable, energy-efficient, and robust.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are engineering controls?
Engineering controls are precautionary measures taken to protect workers from hazardous conditions. Some common examples of engineering controls are railings to protect workers from falls or ventilation systems used to blow out harmful airborne particles.
What is a controls engineer?
Also known as control systems engineers, controls engineers maintain an environment where a company or organization can produce quality products at maximum efficiency. The controls engineer monitors the systems that manufacture products and makes sure they’re running at peak performance.
What are control systems?
Control systems are a set of mechanical or electronic devices that use control loops as a way of regulating functions. These are often used to automate processes to make functions faster and more efficient. Common forms of control systems include open loops and closed loops.
What is control engineering?
Control engineering is manufacturing control systems to function in a way that performs a task within a controlled environment. Control engineering is common practice in much of today’s technology.
What is a building automation system?
Building Automation Systems (BAS) unify a building or group of buildings’ HVAC, lighting, fire alarms, security, or other system in one central unit. This allows a user to control all these entities simultaneously from one device, sometimes even remotely. These are also known as building management systems.
