ST. LOUIS, MO – Integrated Facility Services (IFS) has been awarded a contract to install a building automation system (BAS) as part of an $8.85 million complete renovation of Building 8 at the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Hospital in Mountain Home, TN. The Mountain Home VAMC Campus is located outside of Johnson City, TN and serves nearly 200,000 veterans living in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. Valiant Construction, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, is the general contractor. The IFS project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2017.

IFS will install a complete BAS controls system and integrate it with all new mechanical, HVAC, fire, water/plumbing, and lighting systems installed by others. The BAS will control air handlers, chillers, valves and lighting, with extensive trending and alarms to monitor electrical, steam, gas, lighting and water usage to ensure ongoing energy conservation. The BAS system installed as part of the Building 8 renovation will then be integrated into the existing campus infrastructure, allowing for control and monitoring of building systems from remote locations.

The IFS contract reduced the cost of the BAS system by nearly half as compared to bids submitted by other firms, according to IFS National Marketing Manager Dan Pemberton.
