Wicing,
You may want to consider the following links for what you are looking to do...

You would be utilizing the F-Series PLC from Triangle Research. They offer both built-in Ethernet and wifi capabilities through incorporating an Xbee module. The F-Series also has some additional capabilities that were designed in specifically for building automation.
You can also incorporate a touch screen - http://www.eternity-sales.com/KEP/MMI8000.htm
All would probably be less expensive than the Allen Bradley unit you are considering.
If you have any questions, feel free to post, pm or email.
