Services
Controls services built for commercial building operators.
From a first assessment to ongoing portfolio monitoring. Every service follows a written scope document, approved before work begins, delivered on open protocols, and documented for owner ownership.
Five capabilities, one partner.
Most engagements start with an assessment. From there, we recommend only what the data supports — dashboards, monitoring, integration, or a combination.
Controls Assessment & Review
We walk your building, document every piece of HVAC equipment, and audit every schedule. You get a written report on what is working, what is wasting energy, and what to fix — with scoped proposals for each recommended next step.
- Full equipment inventory and controls map
- Energy waste ranked by dollar impact
- Prioritized recommendations with scoped proposals
Dashboard & Front-End Visibility
A custom dashboard built for the building owner, not the contractor. See every zone, schedule, and piece of equipment from your phone, tablet, or laptop — no app to install.
- Custom floor plan graphics per building
- Remote access from any device, no app required
- Owner-held credentials and full documentation
Monitoring & Ongoing Support
Remote monitoring with alarm rationalization, equipment trending, seasonal changeover programming, and monthly performance reports. Catch problems before tenants do.
- Regular remote system review and alarm management
- Monthly building performance reports
- Seasonal HVAC changeover programming
Integration, Retrofit & Optimization
First-time control system installs, equipment upgrades, multi-tenant zone controls, variable-speed fan and pump (VFD) integration, chiller and boiler plant optimization, and exhaust/makeup air coordination.
- Controller upgrades for rooftop units, air handlers, and package units
- Multi-tenant zone control and scheduling
- Central plant sequencing and optimization
Portfolio Programs
One controls partner across all your properties. Standardized assessments, consistent reporting, portfolio-wide monitoring, and dedicated account management — under a single retainer.
- Standardized methodology across all buildings
- Single monthly portfolio report with benchmarking
- Priority response and one point of contact
Every project follows the same four steps.
From first call to final handoff. Each step has a fixed deliverable — so you know exactly what you own at close.
- 01Discovery
Intake call
15-minute call to confirm building type, equipment, and the comfort or runtime issue driving the request.

We walk your property, inventory every piece of HVAC equipment and its controls, document what's programmed versus what's actually happening, and identify where you're wasting energy or losing comfort. You get a written report with findings, priorities, and scoped proposals for any recommended next steps.
We compare your HVAC schedules to when people are actually in the building. If your system runs from 5 AM to 11 PM but your tenants leave at 6 PM, you're paying for five hours of empty-building conditioning.
When equipment stops responding to your building management system, we diagnose the communication breakdown — wiring, controller addressing, network configuration — and restore data flow between equipment and the BMS.
A tenant keeps complaining about temperature. We investigate the root cause — bad sensors, stuck dampers, wrong programming — and tell you exactly what to fix.
We find the top five sources of energy waste in your building — after-hours runtime, simultaneous heating and cooling, failed economizers — and rank them by dollar impact so you know where to start.
Recurring Support
Most commonStay ahead of problems with remote monitoring, seasonal programming, and a monthly report that shows exactly how your building performed.
We log into your building management system daily, review alarms, analyze trends, and catch problems before they become tenant complaints. You get a monthly report showing exactly how your building performed.
Every spring and fall, your HVAC system needs to switch between heating and cooling modes. We reprogram the transitions, adjust setpoints, and verify everything is working correctly — so you don't end up heating and cooling at the same time.
If your building management system sends so many alarms that everyone ignores them, we fix that. We rationalize alarm setpoints, separate critical from advisory alerts, and make sure the alarms that matter actually get attention.
Quarterly preventive checks for your building's controls — sensor review, actuator operation, trend review, and schedule verification. Catches drift before it becomes a tenant complaint or a service call.
We monitor what your building does when nobody is in it. If equipment is running at 2 AM when it shouldn't be, we flag it and tell you how much it's costing.
Integration Projects
Upgrade or install building controls — from a first-time BMS to a full multi-tenant overhaul. Most projects follow directly from assessment findings.
Your building has HVAC equipment but no central control system. We install one — scheduling, alarming, remote access — so you can actually see and control what your building is doing.
We connect smart thermostats or connected sensors to your existing building management system (or set up a new monitoring platform), so everything reports to one place.
When multiple tenants share HVAC equipment and one is always too hot while another is too cold, we add zone controls — individual temperature control and scheduling for each tenant space.
We integrate room-level HVAC controls with your building management system — occupancy-based setback, guest override, and central monitoring so you can manage comfort and energy across every room.
Custom floor plans, system schematics, and dashboards for your building management system — so your team can see what's happening at a glance instead of digging through menus.
Adding BACnet-capable controllers to existing stand-alone rooftop units, air handlers, and package units that currently run on standalone thermostats or no controls at all. Bring them onto a building management system for scheduling, alarming, and remote visibility.
We deliver building controls directly to you — a clean, intuitive dashboard accessible from your phone, tablet, or laptop. See temperatures, schedules, equipment status, and energy data without a truck roll or a service call.
Replace basic commercial thermostats with proper DDC controllers on individual RTUs and package units. Gain scheduling, alarming, lockout protection, and remote access — without a full BMS install.
Interlock kitchen exhaust fans with makeup air units and HVAC equipment so they work together instead of fighting each other. Includes demand-based control where applicable to save energy during off-peak hours.
Connect variable frequency drives to your BMS for demand-based fan and pump speed control. We program optimal speed curves, alarm thresholds, and trending — turning on/off equipment into modulating control that matches actual load.
Full integration and sequencing of chillers, cooling towers, primary/secondary pumps, and associated valves. We program lead/lag rotation, optimal staging based on load, condenser water reset, and chilled water supply temperature optimization for maximum efficiency.
Integrate boilers, hot water pumps, and distribution systems into a coordinated BMS sequence. Includes lead/lag staging, outdoor air reset, return water temperature monitoring, and safety interlock programming.
Standardized controls upgrade across many units — 10, 50, or 100+ RTUs, package units, or fan coils. We develop one tested sequence, commission it on the first unit, then roll it out systematically across your portfolio with consistent naming, graphics, and alarming.
Portfolio Packages
One controls partner across every property in your portfolio — same methodology, same reporting format, one point of contact.
A standardized energy audit across your entire portfolio — same methodology, same benchmarks, with a summary that compares properties side by side so you can prioritize where to invest.
Remote monitoring across all your properties with a single monthly portfolio report. Priority response for critical alarms. One point of contact instead of juggling multiple vendors.
A yearly on-site visit to each building in your portfolio — sensor verification, schedule review, and a controls health assessment to catch drift before it becomes a problem.
Fit Check
Are we the right fit?
We're probably NOT a good fit if:
- Your building is under 5,000 sqft — a smart thermostat is probably enough
- You already have a controls contractor you trust
- You're a hospital, lab, or Class A office tower — you need 24/7 emergency response
We're probably a GREAT fit if:
- You manage 1–20 retail, restaurant, or light-commercial buildings
- Your current system is confusing, dated, or nobody trained you on it
- You want to understand your building instead of hoping for the best
- You're tired of getting ignored by the big national contractors
- You're a mechanical contractor who needs a controls partner for your projects
An assessment is the right first step for any building.
We document what you have, what it is doing, and what to do about it — with a written report and scoped proposals. No obligation past the assessment.
