Building Automation & Controls: submittal requirements

Controls submittals are systems documents: architecture diagrams, points lists, and sequences matter more than any single device sheet. Reviewers check that the proposed system actually executes the specified sequences.

What reviewers expect in a building automation & controls package

  • System architecture diagram showing controllers, networks, and protocols (BACnet/IP, MS/TP)
  • Points list matching the specified sequences point-for-point
  • Controller and device product data (sensors, actuators, valves) with ranges and accuracies
  • Valve and damper schedules with Cv sizing
  • Sequence of operations, marked up from the spec where the contractor proposes changes
  • Network security and integration details for owner IT when the spec requires

Field tip

Never submit device sheets without the points list — the sequence-to-points cross-check is the entire review, and its absence turns a two-week review into six.
