Where Buildings Connect With Business
100010100000010101010101010
High energy and fuel prices impact
your customers’ retail spending….
You’ve been swallowing the rising costs of doing business and watching as soaring energy prices
choke already tight profit margins. Energy and operations account for at least 5 percent of the
monthly expenses of most retailers. In reality, that figure is probably even higher. And you can’t
count on store managers to consistently set back temperature settings and turn off lights early and
hope to control costs.
You need a cost effective solution that’s easy to use
and gives you the power to check store conditions,
monitor equipment, change temperature settings,
schedule updates and troubleshoot all at the same
time. You need remote accessibility. You need
UbiquityTM by TCS Basys Controls®.
Here’s a browser based, user-friendly solution that
allows all users – store managers, facility managers,
service contractors and others – to actively manage
a single store, selected store group or all your stores
from a single website. A feature packed, simple
interface lets users quickly view information for
individual lighting, signage and HVAC equipment
from your Internet connected device. An easy to install, network-ready management solution for
multi-site retailers. UbiquityTM by TCS Basys Controls®.
Now you can leverage the power of the Internet to economically control and manage your
enterprise, whether you have 10 stores or 1,000 stores. According to Platts Research and
Consulting, energy savings of 10 to 15% will result from a properly monitored and utilized facility
management system. Combining Ubiquity’sTM remote control capabilities with TCS Basys Controls®
thermostats and controls gives you a powerful building management system accessible from any
device with Internet access on site or from anywhere.

Now there’s no need to run a truck or call a service contractor every time you have an HVAC
equipment problem. With Ubiquity’sTM remote access capability, troubleshooting time is vastly
reduced by doing it on-line, not on-site. As you know, some store locations require several hours
to drive to. When you have UbiquityTM and
a problem develops, service technicians can
remotely analyze the store’s system operation
via the internet and determine the scope of
the problem. Most times, the problem can be
fixed through UbiquityTM. In cases where the
problem cannot be solved remotely, necessary
