It is the intent of this project to make maximum use/reuse of the existing Computrols system in the new work, and the design-build contractor must ensure that all new equipment and components designed and specified for this project are compatible and will integrate into the existing Computrols system, including the Computrols central monitoring system/computer, with no degradation in performance or utility of the Computrols BAS. The objective of this project is to accomplish a comprehensive upgrade of the energy management system/building automation system (BAS) for the multiple facilities that comprise the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System (SLVHCS).
