How It Connects

Four systems. One front end.

Air, zones and plant run as separate systems until a controls network ties them together. Scroll through a building the way we commission one — system by system, until every point reports to a single screen.

    Air handling

    It starts on the roof. The air handler blends outdoor and return air, filters it, conditions it across the coils, and a VFD sets fan speed to hold duct static — instead of running the fan flat out all day.

    Zone control

    Every floor splits into zones. A VAV box on each one trims airflow and reheat against its own thermostat, so one warm corner office doesn't overcool the rest of the floor.

    Central plant

    Below grade, the chiller, boiler and pumps make the chilled and hot water the building runs on. Pump drives follow real demand, and the plant is judged on what it spends per ton of cooling.

    Controls network

    A DDC controller on every piece of equipment, networked over BACnet into one front end. That screen is where a drifting zone or a loading filter shows up first — and where it gets corrected at the source.

Operating Intelligence

An alarm today beats a breakdown tomorrow.

Equipment reports in pressures, temperatures and damper positions. Our job is to turn that into the handful of readings an operator can act on — so a loading filter or a starved zone triggers an alert while it is still a setting, not a service call.

Air Handling Supply air held against setpoint while outdoor and return air are blended for recovery, with filter loading and duct static tracked continuously — the three things that quietly decide a building's comfort and its fan energy.
Variable air volume zone control view: damper position, airflow in CFM and reheat percentage over a plan of the served zone, with zone temperature, setpoint and trend history.
Zone Control Airflow, damper position and reheat resolved down to a single terminal, so a zone that is drifting can be corrected at the box instead of by overcooling the whole floor. Air movement is the one thing the screen animates.
