8 <br /> SIEMENS <br /> Building Services — Automation <br /> Services that deliver the outcomes you want to achieve <br /> Services delivered by Siemens have been developed to help you achieve the outcomes you expect. <br /> Factory System Optimization/ Maintenance Program <br /> The services listed below will be performed annually on all building automation system components <br /> shown in the List of Maintained Automation Equipment unless otherwise directed by Orange County. <br /> Automation Controls Analysis &Optimization: Automation controls can drift out of calibration with <br /> changes in mechanical component performance characteristics, building use, and climatic conditions. <br /> Through this service we will extend equipment life, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the risk of costly <br /> and disruptive breakdowns. Siemens will provide preventive maintenance in accordance with a program of <br /> routines as determined by our experience, equipment application and location. The list of field panels and I <br /> or devices included under this service are identified in the List of Maintained Equipment in this proposal. <br /> Software Analysis &Optimization:Through Software Analysis & Optimization, Siemens will help ensure <br /> that the HVAC Control System is operating properly to minimize any software problems that would negatively <br /> impact system performance. We will address any programming errors, failed points, points in alarm, <br /> unresolved points or points in operator priority, both at the front end workstation and at the field panel. This <br /> will increase system efficiency, assure compliance to specified conditions, and reduce the risk of costly and <br /> disruptive system problems. We will perform this service using onsite visits and /or remote services (if <br /> applicable). <br /> Control Loop Analysis & Optimization: Control loops by their nature drift out of calibration with changes in <br /> mechanical efficiency, building use, and climatic conditions. Through this service Siemens will ensure control <br /> loops for devices such as valves, dampers, actuators, etc., experience minimized overshooting and oscillatory <br /> behavior. You will benefit from a more comfortable and productive environment and lower energy <br /> consumption through more efficient equipment usage. <br /> Network Analysis &Optimization:Through Network Analysis & Optimization, we ensure reliable and <br /> optimized communication throughout your HVAC Control System's Building Level Network of field panels. <br /> The benefit will be increased data network up-time and faster problem resolution. Using SIEMENS <br /> Network Performance Diagnostic Technologies, our proactive calibration and tuning of the data network <br /> analyzes variables impacting network performance, including node tables, token passes, and turn speed, <br /> change of values over the network, unresolved points, and overall operation. <br /> Controller Analysis &Optimization:Through Controller Analysis & Optimization, we ensure reliable and <br /> optimized performance of your Terminal Equipment Controllers throughout your HVAC system.You will <br /> realize a more comfortable and productive environment and will benefit from lower energy consumption <br /> through more efficient equipment usage. Unitary and Terminal equipment can by their nature under perform <br /> due to a number of reasons; mechanical, electrical, control settings, building use and climatic conditions. <br /> Through the use of the Controller Analysis Program (CAP) and I or other tools we can pinpoint which systems <br /> have possible air flow or temperature control problems. Reports are generated on those terminal equipment <br /> controllers, which can then be investigated and resolved. The equipment to be included as part of this service <br /> is listed in the List of Maintained Equipment in this proposal. <br /> Page 7 of 27 <br />
