Thank you to Tim Collins and David Harrison of The Controls Company for presenting "Building Controls, Automation & the Realm of Possibilities" to the SAME Emerald Coast Post at Eglin AFB.

We gained valuable insight into building automation systems, DDC controls, and how effective controls strategies can impact facility performance and project success. The discussion was strengthened by real-world examples from Air Force, Navy, and VA projects throughout the Gulf Coast.

We appreciate their time, expertise, and commitment to sharing knowledge with our military engineering community.
