About Computrols
We Answer to End-Users, Not Shareholders
Since 1983, Computrols has worked side-by-side with facilities directors, energy managers, and campus operating teams to build the simplest-to-use building automation system on the market.
Every controller we make is designed, manufactured, and tested under one roof at our headquarters in Gretna, just outside of New Orleans, and backed by the industry’s only lifetime warranty. When you factor in total lifecycle cost, no other BAS comes close.

Why Computrols
Built for the Way You Run Your Campus
Pick your role. Here’s what Computrols means for your day-to-day.
On the Expo Floor
Modernize on your timeline, not a vendor's
A campus is never one building — it’s decades of construction eras and a patchwork of legacy controls. Computrols lets you modernize building-by-building without a campus-wide rip-and-replace.
Leaders in Integrations
Proven integrations with Siemens, JCI, Barber Colman, CSI I/NET, and more — existing systems keep running while you migrate on your budget cycle.
No Vendor Lock-In
Open, serviceable systems mean you’re never stuck with one provider’s pricing to maintain your own buildings.
Lifecycle Economics
When all costs are counted — install, service, replacement — Computrols is the most economical BAS available.
Visibility your operators can act on
Utility rates aren’t waiting for your budget to catch up. High-performing campuses pair real-time system visibility with operators who are empowered to act on it.
Campus-Scale Visibility
Arkansas State runs more than 1,000 Computrols controllers across 90%+ of campus from a single platform — deployed and programmed entirely by their own staff.
Real-Time Visibility
See what every system is actually doing, campus-wide, from one platform.
Operator-Driven Savings
Savings that come from your people, not from a black box you can’t inspect.
Hardware that lasts, software that makes sense
Controllers built to outlast the equipment they run — and software designed for the people in the mechanical room, not just the front office.
Lifetime Warranty
The industry’s only lifetime warranty on DDC controllers. If it fails, we replace it.
Simplest BAS
CBAS, the Computrols platform, is built to be learned fast and run daily by your own staff — critical when experienced operators retire and new hires need to ramp quickly.
Real Support
Talk to actual engineers, not a ticket queue. We answer to end-users.

Local Presence
Right Here in the D.C. Area
Computrols isn’t flying in and flying out. Our Washington D.C. branch supports campuses and facilities throughout the region — so what starts at APPA is backed by a local team the week after.
