(54) Title: SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING A BUILDING CONTROL SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS AND MONITORS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN A BUILDING (57) : A system (600) and method (1600) is provided that facilitates testing a building control system (100). The system may include at least one rack (102) including: a housing (104); a terminal panel (204); and a plurality of slidable field panels mounted in the housing in side-by- side relation. The terminal panel may include a plurality of connection terminals (206) that are wired to respective component terminals (122, 126, 134) of a plurality of components (120, 124, 128) mounted to the field panels. Each field panel may be configured to independently slide at least partially out of a front side opening (106) of the housing via a plurality of slides (116) mounted to each field panel and to the housing (104). The system may also include at least one story board (608) including: a schematic illus- tration (612) mounted to a frame that depicts components of a heat- ing, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system (144); and a plurality of instruments (614, 616) mounted to the frame at locations on the illustration adjacent the depicted components of the HVAC system, which instruments receive inputs from and provide outputs to the building control system through wires (618) connected to the connection terminals of the at least one rack, so as to mimic aspects of an HVAC system in order to test the configuration of the building control system in the at least one rack.
