QA Graphics serves as an expert design resource for the building controls industry and can provide graphics for any type of building automation system (BAS). Collaborating with several leading control system manufacturers and private companies over the years, QA Graphics has used this experience to develop their new BAS Symbol Library v5 with state of the art 3D software and rendering styles. This collaboration also led to the creation of a building specification for the symbol library to be provided in the building specification process at no charge.

The benefit of this document is to ease the procedure of placing the symbol library in the building specification process. The BAS Symbol Library v5 specification provides you with clear, concise provisions that contain the information contractors need to outline the selected components and systems that will be used within the building. Highlighting important factors, such as file types, ownership, and the variety of graphics and animations needed to construct building automation system graphics and HVAC graphics or MEP equipment.

This library and specification document offers a competitive advantage in the BAS industry that can be used with 95% of BAS software systems available that allow for third party graphics. Giving users access to over 450 total graphic files available that are more detailed and high-end. This can include animations, in addition, to more realistically represent the mechanical systems in place. The license also permits the building owner to retain authorization to the graphics after installation for future use on any system that is installed within the building. QA Graphic’s BAS Symbol Library v5 was also named Consulting-Specifying Engineer’s 2017 Product of the Year Finalist.

“TECHNICALLY, MECHANICALLY, BEAUTIFUL FLASK”

May 18, 2017

When Neil Ferrier “Chief Conspirator” of Discommon Goods, a luxury design brand, presented a unique opportunity to QA Graphics; an exciting business venture was born. Ferrier sought out the Iowa-based design firm, seeking a 3D marketing video with an animated exploding view of their newest product, a Dual Tank Whiskey Flask. The final 3D rendered video was amazing and served as a distinguishing supplemental marketing tool, emphasizing every ornate detail and texture of the Dual Tank Whiskey Flask from multiple perspectives in a digital space.

The Flask was truly a special and exciting project for QA Graphics’ team and a fantastic way to showcase the design team’s diverse skills and talents for sales and marketing applications. As an original design collaboration between Discommon and two other unnamed international luxury brands, the digital replication and details of the product were of the utmost importance. Using QA Graphics’ state of the art rendering farm, QA Graphics’ 3D design team brought to life photos, CAD images, video clips, and schematic designs into an incredible, attention grabbing, animated 3D graphic representation; leaving Ferrier only to say, “Unreal. You have seriously blown me away. The video looks incredible.” – Which means a lot coming from a designer whose company prides themselves on product differentiation, luxury quality, and the product experience.

To market and advertise a unique and luxurious product, such as the Dual Tank Whiskey Flask, in a visual and virtual world, collaboration with an equally unique and visual design team is only fitting. The uniqueness of the project allowed the QA Graphics team “to explore new design trends and show the world what we are capable of,” said the design team. – View the flask video here http://bit.ly/2qauYaf.
