Alps Controls Created by a building controls contractor - for the way automation professionals actually work. Self-service when it’s simple. Human expertise when it’s not.

Alps Controls helps commercial and industrial controls contractors get more work done, with access to 200M+ products from 200+ manufacturers, and digital tools built around the way controls projects actually run. Alps Controls is North America’s first digitally-native distributor built to simplify sourcing, pricing, and delivery of HVAC and building automation control parts. Today, we operate as a nationally focused platform - unconstrained by regional branch territories - providing consistent access to over 200M products from 180+ manufacturers. Still family-owned. Now second-generation led. Built for the long term.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and building controls are a critical part of the network.

Contemporary Controls recently shared with us about providing enhanced security in a building management system through digital certificates, encryption, and their router and gateway products. Getting certificates right is a good first step toward encrypted connections between your controllers and the rest of the system.

A better filter can mean less ventilation. Raising filter efficiency raises pressure drop. Studies of rooftop units moving from MERV 8 to MERV 13 have measured airflow falling by as much as 10%, with fan energy up roughly 11–18% — and as high as 20–30% where nobody revisits the fan.

So an upgrade bought to improve air quality can end up moving less air than before. Higher MERV is better only if the fan can carry it.

New on the Alps Controls blog: Senva Inc Explains: Why Pressure Accuracy Specs Don't Tell the Whole Story

When you're comparing dry pressure sensors, "accuracy" looks like a simple number to shop by. It isn't. Accuracy is an imprecise term for what it describes. Yes, you read that correctly.

Did you know that today is Energy Efficiency Day?

Seriously: if we were in charge of creating holidays, this is the kind we'd make: promoting the benefits of saving energy in all kinds of buildings all over the world.

Controls contractors do that every time they choose peripheral devices that connect to their BAS: literally the thing that controls all the building's air, all of its energy usage, all of its data, and the means to make everything work together. Stuff like smart thermostats, CO2 and occupancy sensors. Air and water flow. The dampers and actuators that open and close all day when the system tells them to. Energy efficiency - properly done - is everywhere.

Thanks to all the building contractors, managers, and owners all over the world who make energy efficiency their mission every day.
