QA Graphics expands 3D symbol library for building controls

January 13, 2010 - QA Graphics expanded its 3D symbol library to be compatible with more building automation systems (BAS). The library was developed to provide the industry with more appealing and realistic graphics than provided with BAS software. The symbol library provides equipment and components to consistently assemble high-end system graphics. Users can spend less time assembling graphics and further distinguish themselves in the market by providing their customers with higher level system graphics that are competitive in today’s industry. With over 200 static graphics and more than 80 animated graphics, the symbols can be used to create most major mechanical systems. The library is available at two levels to meet user’s needs: Commercial, which provides an extensive variety of graphic options to create almost any system graphic, and Lite Commercial, a condensed symbol set to create system graphics. Symbols include boilers, chillers, dampers, filters, piping, fans, cooling towers, generators, valves, ductwork, coils, and more. The library has been fully tested and is now compatible with the following systems:
