What is Total Room Automation?

Total room automation is a centralized solution that combines HVAC, lighting, shading, and environmental controls for smarter, more efficient building management. It’s well-suited for hospitals, laboratories, data centers, and large commercial spaces, where consistent comfort, efficiency, and responsiveness to occupancy and usage patterns are essential.

By uniting disparate building systems under a single interface, facility managers can automate room-level settings to reduce manual input, boost energy efficiency, and maintain consistent comfort. Room automation also enables real-time monitoring and analytics, providing the insights necessary for smarter, data-driven decision-making.

So far MACC has converted 4 of our buildings from Staefa controls to Tridium N-4. Their sales, engineering, installation, and service personnel both during and since these projects have been outstanding. They are a group of people that have had many years in the HVAC field so they know how systems are supposed to work and have made many upgrades in the logical programming to make our system much more efficient and user friendly which is far over what we would have imagined. The staff has been more than willing to listen to us as customers and combining our suggestions along with theirs to give us a product that has been seamless, flawless, and just plain works! So far this has been a great experience and a looking forward to working with MACC in upcoming projects soon to take place. I am willing to talk to anyone anytime to answer questions you might have about our experience. MACC can get you in touch with me.Paul Sexton Building Systems Superintendent County of York
