Design Services

FAS Design Services at Penn State provide installation diagrams and methods for the implementation of building automation solutions at University Park and across the commonwealth campuses.

We have six(6) Professional Designers that specialize in drawings, programming and graphics for facility automation systems. We rotate design functions as part of our in-house training program while incorporating direct field support with FAS technicians and other Penn State OPP staff throughout the life of the project.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

FIELD VERIFICATION and Technician Support

FAS Design Services standard practice is to verify existing conditions thru onsite visual inspections along with assistance in the design discussions and reviews to accurately identify and address issues involved on a project.
