For nearly two decades, QA Graphics has been perfecting tools designed to make building automation projects quicker, easier, and more professional. One of the most significant resources they provide is their collection of symbol libraries—purpose-built assets trusted by system integrators, end users, and control manufacturers.
These libraries are about more than just graphics. They are designed to help professionals work smarter, lower costs, and deliver results that stand apart. In fact, several control manufacturers have integrated these libraries directly into their platforms, so their customers can benefit from QA Graphics visuals right out of the box.
Here is how each library variation can make a significant difference.
Vector Symbol Library
The QA Graphics Vector Symbol Library offers hundreds of scalable graphics and animations created for modern BAS platforms such as Niagara N4 and Tridium Reflow.
- For System Integrators: Save time with pre-made, scalable assets that reduce development hours.
- For End Users: Receive crisp, resolution-independent visuals that appear sharp on desktops, tablets, or mobile devices.
- For Manufacturers: Offer customers professional, responsive graphics that improve the default user experience.
V5 Symbol Library
The V5 Symbol Library provides hundreds of graphics and animations in a contemporary, polished style. It covers everything from AHUs to pumps and chillers and is designed to complement today’s BAS interfaces.
- For System Integrators: Standardize project visuals to ensure consistency and achieve faster deployment.
- For End Users: Engage with intuitive interfaces featuring clear, modernized equipment symbols.
- For Manufacturers: Embed a high-quality graphics package into your software for immediate end-user value.
3D Room & System Libraries
The 3D Room & System Libraries from QA Graphics bring immersive detail to projects, including room-level graphics complete with furniture, lighting, and specialized areas.
Most Popular Rooms:
- Data Rooms – essential for IT and server environments.
- Labs – precise layouts for complex, specialized areas.
- Hospital ISO Rooms – customized for healthcare settings.
- For System Integrators: Distinguish your deliverables with realistic, interactive environments.
- For End Users: View both systems and spaces in context, which makes navigation more intuitive.
- For Manufacturers: Enhance your platform with visual depth that customers will notice.
Custom Johnson Controls MUI Add-On Symbols
The QA Graphics team has addressed gaps in the JCI Metasys UI library with custom add-ons like Phoenix valves, fume hoods, roof exhaust fans, unit heaters, and water tanks. These are available at no charge to JCI and its affiliates through a dedicated page.
- For Integrators & End Users: Access more complete symbol options to accelerate project setup.
- For JCI: A complimentary resource to augment the platform’s baseline graphics.
OEM / Embedded Libraries
One of the earliest projects for QA Graphics was constructing a 3D pieces-and-parts library for a global control manufacturer. This was embedded directly into their platform and shipped to every end user. Since that time, the company has built eight custom libraries for manufacturers, with many still in active use.
For Manufacturers:
- Differentiate your platform with superior out-of-the-box visuals.
- Lower support costs with standardized, intuitive graphics.
- Add long-term value with libraries that can evolve as the system grows.
Why It Matters
- For System Integrators: Meet deadlines more efficiently, cut down on development time, and deliver a polished final product.
- For End Users: Gain clarity, confidence, and simpler system navigation.
- For Control Manufacturers: Strengthen your platform’s value and maintain consistency across all customer deployments.
And when a unique graphic is needed, QA Graphics will create custom symbols—often at no extra cost—so a project never has to stall.
