DDC Systems or Direct Digital Controls offer a high level of control for building mechanical and electrical systems. Additionally, modern state of the art direct digital controls have the ability to offer trending of equipment that can be used to increase efficiency and to troubleshoot problems with mechanical equipment. DDC integration can occur with any type of mechanical or electrical system in the building and the system can communicate via the internet for remote monitoring and control. DDC systems can also be integrated with SCADA systems and various applications controlled with PLC’s. HVAC DDC Systems allows operators and maintenance personnel alike to maintain an optimum efficiency of the equipment by giving operators real time information that allows the operator to respond to alarms and small problems before they become big problems and the maintenance people can use it to maintain precise maintenance schedules based on actual run time of the equipment. The benefits of DDC systems are numerous and add energy efficiency along with other efficiencies making DDC systems pay for themselves in a short period of time.
