The answer is simple: convenience. The purpose of the HVAC (BAS)
symbol library is to provide accurate UI graphics and comprehensive symbol sets
to building operators so they can better visualize and navigate their
commercial space. In 2004, QA Graphics created its first Building Automation
System (BAS) symbol library as part of its graphics outsourcing business. In
2006, a large control manufacturer purchased the first iteration. Since that
time, QA Graphics has sold the library to countless others as part of its Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) BAS library.
Early in 2008, a trend started emerging in the building automation industry—system
integrators and large building owners were struggling to obtain access to better
UI graphics. Many control manufacturers failed to provide accurate,
nice-looking visuals and lacked comprehensive symbol sets. The symbol sets are
vital to building operator interfaces, as they reflect what’s controlling a
building. To meet this demand, QA Graphics made their internal library
available for sale to non-OEM’s. Each library was sold with a license for system
integrators or businesses to use on any project as needed at a one-time cost.
System integrators (SI) benefited greatly, as they now possessed a
library that was better looking than anything else on the market. End users who
hired these SI’s gained beautiful system graphics, which included 3D equipment and
animations. System integrators also gained a symbol library that worked in
almost any control manufacture software, making it user-friendly and versatile.
Many larger businesses purchased the library to use on all their buildings,
allowing these companies to set the same standard for each one of their
commercial spaces regardless of the control manufacturer. In other words, operators
now had the same system graphics no matter what location or system they logged
into.
In
2016, QA Graphics came out with version 5 of the symbol library. The Symbol
Library v5 offers a competitive advantage in the BAS industry, delivering more
appealing and realistic graphics than typically provided with BAS software. It’s
currently one of the largest, most diverse libraries on the market. The
extensive symbol catalog allows customers to pick and choose only the graphics
that apply to their BAS system. As part of the initial purchase, clients were
asked to request any symbols that were necessary to fulfill their customers’ needs within a project. QA Graphics
added these symbols to the library for free, and we’ve been rolling out updates
every quarter. In conjunction with the v5, our company will be releasing a new
symbol library in 2019. This will be a high-end vector library that will
address the need for responsive design within the industry, moving to both
large and mobile platforms. The Vector Symbol Library will include hundreds of
SVGS and animation files, more detailed graphics, and higher resolution images
that are easily scalable for a mobile device, granting clients the ability to
access their building’s graphics right at their fingertips.
