Building Automation Systems in Long Beach, CA

We specialize in Loxone building automation, particularly for restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality environments. Loxone can bring multiple building functions into one coordinated automation platform, helping routine tasks happen automatically in the background.

For a restaurant, for example, lighting can transition from daytime service to evening dining without staff manually adjusting every fixture. Climate zones can help maintain different conditions in dining areas, kitchens, offices, and other spaces. Audio, access controls, and compatible security equipment can also become part of the larger automation strategy.

Hotel and hospitality properties can use similar technology to coordinate common areas, entertainment systems, lighting scenes, climate settings, and access functions.

We can also assess existing commercial spaces where automation is being added after construction. Retrofitting requires careful planning because the existing wiring, equipment, and control systems determine what can be integrated and what may need to be updated.

Climate control is one of the most useful applications for building automation because commercial spaces rarely operate at the same occupancy level throughout the entire day.

With properly configured controls, HVAC operation can respond to schedules, occupied zones, and other system inputs rather than relying exclusively on staff members to adjust thermostats manually. This can be particularly useful for restaurants and hospitality properties that experience clear shifts between preparation periods, peak service, and closing.

Zoned controls also give managers more flexibility. Instead of treating an entire property as one environment, different areas can be managed according to their individual needs.

Automation does not replace properly designed HVAC equipment, but it can help that equipment operate in a way that better reflects the property’s daily schedule.

Lighting is another major opportunity for automation. Commercial properties may have dining rooms, offices, hallways, restrooms, storage areas, outdoor spaces, and other zones that do not need the same light levels at all times.

Occupancy-based controls can turn lights off or reduce output when appropriate. Daylight-responsive controls can adjust electric lighting when sufficient natural light is available. Programmed scenes can also allow hospitality properties to change the feel of a space throughout the day without requiring employees to adjust individual fixtures.

For restaurants, this may mean brighter lighting during preparation and lunch service followed by warmer, dimmer settings in the evening. Hotels and event venues may use preset scenes for different functions, while offices can benefit from more practical scheduling and occupancy controls.

Commercial construction and renovation projects in Long Beach are subject to California’s building and energy standards when applicable to the scope of work. The 2025 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, Part 6, took effect January 1, 2026.

According to the California Energy Commission, the Energy Code applies to newly constructed buildings as well as qualifying additions and alterations to existing buildings. Requirements vary depending on the property, equipment, occupancy, and scope of the project.

Commercial projects can include energy requirements related to lighting, controls, HVAC equipment, ventilation, commissioning, and other building systems. Long Beach’s Community Development Department also identifies Title 24 energy documentation as part of the plan-review process when applicable.

That makes early planning valuable. When automation is considered alongside the electrical and mechanical design, controls can be coordinated with the rest of the building rather than added as an afterthought.

Building automation alone does not guarantee Title 24 compliance. The specific project must be evaluated against the applicable California Energy Code and local permitting requirements.

For current requirements, property owners and project teams can review the California Energy Commission’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards and the City of Long Beach’s current building-code requirements.

Plan Your Energy Compliance

No two commercial properties operate exactly alike. An independent restaurant has different needs from a hotel, office building, retail property, or industrial facility.

We start by looking at how your space functions throughout the day. That includes when different areas are occupied, which systems employees regularly adjust, where energy may be used unnecessarily, and which functions would benefit most from automation.

From there, we can design a system that prioritizes practical improvements rather than unnecessary complexity.

Our goal is to make technology easier to live with. When automation is configured correctly, employees should not have to constantly think about it. Lighting, climate, access, and other functions can operate according to the routines and conditions you establish while authorized users retain control when adjustments are needed.
