BUILDING SENTRY ONE | Building Protection Systems, Inc. (BPSI)

General Description
The Building Sentry One (BSO) is U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designated technology installed to monitor a Commercial Office Building, Campus Complex or Stadium Environment. The BSO monitors both directly and remotely, airborne toxins in the fresh and return air supplies, lobbies and loading dock environments. If a toxin is detected, the BSO enacts a sequence of predetermined alerts and mechanical protocols to isolate toxins and to provide an early warning system for first responders. The BSO is installed as an all-in-one full backbone system and can integrate directly into an existing Building Management System. The BSO detects a defined spectrum of chemical contaminants, a wide library of radiological isotopes and select biological agents with sensitivity levels customized for each specific toxin. The BSO has been designed in modular fashion to support continued advances in chemical, radiological and biological sensory technology, with a “Plug and Play” overlay into the Sentry One network. The BSO is a fully functioning “Next Generation” detection backbone system that integrates sensory technology into just about any market ready project. With embedded controls, logic, software, mechanical protocols and remote monitoring coupled with multiple security means, this system is designed to operate 24/7/365 in the absence of false positive readings.

Technical Description
BSO is a COTS based system that detects a defined spectrum of toxic compounds, a 120+ library of radiological isotopes and select biological agents in a building’s HVAC system on a continuous 24/7/365 basis with virtually zero false positive alarms. Through the integration of programmable logic controllers and sensor arrays, linked to a PC infrastructure with multi-layer communications protocols, the BSO solution offers a dynamic set of customized security measures. The BSO’s backbone architecture mesh simply and easily with existing systems, in a seamless process that gives the end user virtually unlimited options for protection.
