Building automation · staged foundation program

Learn the whole building, then make the controls tell the truth.

The TTS building-automation pathway connects mechanical systems, electricity, field devices, networks, programming, graphics, sequences, commissioning, troubleshooting, cybersecurity, and project delivery.

Current status: curriculum and selected demonstrations are staged for review. Enrollment, testing, credentials, student accounts, and protected course access are not open.
Program progression

From system orientation to accountable project delivery.

Each stage adds technical depth and stronger proof. A learner is expected to explain the system, perform the task, verify the result, document the evidence, and restore the system safely.

Ethan Merrick

Electrical to controls

Apprentice-to-journeyman electrical experience followed by senior controls development.

Review the field team and verified public credential summary.

How capability is proven

Completion requires more than slide progress.

KNOW

Explain systems, drawings, sequences, standards boundaries, and expected values through reviewed knowledge checks.

PRACTICE

Use simulations, schematics, fault stories, and instructor-controlled trainers to build a repeatable method.

PERFORM

Complete observable practical tasks with acceptance criteria and no critical safety miss.

APPLY

Use supervised field evidence, capstones, and oral defense to show judgment across changing conditions.

Authority boundary

TTS course completion does not independently grant licensing, employer authorization, qualified-person status, or permission to perform regulated work. Those decisions remain with the applicable employer, authority, credentialing body, and adopted requirements.
