Nashville, TN -- The Comfort Group, Nashville-based full service mechanical systems company, has received the international "Project of the Year" award from Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) in recognition of The Comfort Group's installation of automated building management control systems at the mammoth 1.5 million square foot Boeing Delta-IV rocket systems manufacturing facility in Decatur, Alabama. The award, which recognizes excellence in the control systems industry, is presented annually by ALC to one of the more than 150 companies around the world, which are authorized to install ALC software and hardware. The Comfort Group, exclusive representative of ALC in Middle and West Tennessee, Southern Kentucky and Northern Alabama, is the first Tennessee company to receive the prestigious award from ALC.

The ALC system installed by The Comfort Group controls all of the mechanical heating and cooling systems in the focused factory, central plant and chip handling buildings. The HVAC control systems are crucial to maintaining temperature and humidity due to the thermal expansion/contraction and moisture-sensitive characteristics of the materials used to fabricate the rockets' booster cores.
