Reliable Controls Adds a Second Office

Reliable Controls

 

September 7, 2018

Reliable Controls is pleased to announce that due to continued growth, the company has expanded its footprint by leasing a 1,156 m2 (12,375 ft2) space located at #401 Garbally Rd. in Victoria, just a few minutes’ drive from corporate headquarters. In June 2018, the Software department, the Tech. Support team, and several other Research & Development (R&D) personnel moved to the new facility. 

The move happened in two separate stages, one for the Software department, DevOps team, and part of QA, and the other for the Tech. Support team. Back in the headquarters building, the Human Resources and TechCom departments relocated to the area vacated by the software department. Logistics for the move was a challenge, and outfitting the new facility involved the efforts of many Reliable Controls personnel. 

Although the new leased space has a competitor’s HVAC control system, the company installed a Reliable Controls MACH-System™ that fully controls the lighting and also monitors temperature and air quality. A full ASHRAE 90.1 (2016) compliant low voltage lighting control system was installed using the new MACH-ProLight™ controller. The timing of the move was perfect for giving the lighting controls a real-life, in-house test prior to the Beta release.    

Also installed, were 18 SMART-Sensor EPD (SS3-E) sensors that monitor temperature, CO2, and humidity, to ensure that the landlord maintains building comfort conditions for the employees.   

RC-RemoteAccess®, RC-WebView®, RC-Archive®, and RC-Reporter® were connected to the new MACH-System™, enabling Reliable Controls facilities staff to securely communicate, monitor, and report on the operation of the new space.
