Automated Facility Solutions Instrumental In Helping Buildings in Raleigh, North Carolina Achieve LEED Accrediation

Trend Controls Systems (www.trend-americas.com) announced today the recent recognition of Automated Facility Solutions, a Trend Technology Center. In January 2011, the Triangle Business Journal (www.trianglebusinessjournal.com) ran a list showcasing the top twenty-five LEED accredited buildings in Raleigh, North Carolina ranked by square footage. After a review of the

listings, it was determined that six of the top twenty-five buildings obtained this certification due to

the work and efforts of Automated Facility Solutions with Trend Control Systems. 

 "Genworth, St. Francis of Assisi Community Center, St. Francis of Assisi Early Childhood Learning

Center, Our Lady of the Angels Chapel, the Imperial Tower and Quintiles are all buildings that we
are proud to say that we have worked on,” said Kevin Riley, Division Manager at Automated Facility
Solutions.

Automated Facility Solutions successfully designed, installed, commissioned, and

provided service and support for the Trend building automation systems which played a major role in

securing LEED points toward certification in all of these facilities.

Happy 4th!

Automated Facility Solutions would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Independence Day!

Best In Class

The annual Trend Controls Business & Sales Conference was held this past week in VA and as always Automated Facility Solutions was recognized with several achievement awards.

For the 5^th straight year AFS was awarded the Trend Top Shelf Award which is recognition for top performance in several categories surrounding growth of our business.

AFS was also awarded a top performance award from Honeywell Field Devices for our overall commitment to the Honeywell Partner program. This program extends very competitive pricing multipliers for all HW field devices that are comparative to what some of our other vendors pay such as ACR and CC Dickson. With this program we can eliminate the middleman mark up on HW Field Devices. Contact me for more information on this program if you desire to be more competitive on your quotes.

Saving the best for last. Automated Facility Solutions was also recognized as the #1 Dealer for Trend Sales Volume in North America for 2010. AFS is consistently #1 in the Southeast Region and in the top 5 throughout the US but in 2010 we blew past the other 75 dealers.

This achievement could not have been possible without the open minded and forward thinking of each and every associate at PSG/AFS. We have the product, expertise, and personnel  throughout NC to recognize and identify HVAC and Lighting  opportunities. We provide our customers with solutions to their building automation needs, and can tackle the most complex system design and strategy for any application that is uncovered.

So congratulations to every associate at PSG/AFS for their team effort in securing this prestigious award.

Thank you for your support.
