Retrofit Installations:
Save Money, Achieve Optimal Performance, & Increase System Longevity
The biggest energy hog for buildings tends to be HVAC and lighting. An HVAC control system is usually what people ask us for, due to the idea that it’s going to save them the most amount of money. While this is generally true, it is somewhat shortsighted as an energy consumption reducing strategy. Leaving room for adding additional building systems later during an upgrade can save even more money in the long-run.
Retrofitting often starts with metering the building, so engineers get precise data about energy waste. This process helps determine a suitable template for upgrading building automation systems.
When we take a building automation upgrade project, it generally entails using the same controls and equipment currently in the building, but using new software and interfaces and allowing the legacy products in the building to interface with other systems. When it comes to retrofitting a building automation system, integration with the current system and interface is of central concern. It’s important to have clear objectives on any type of BAS project, in particular when working to integrate two systems together in a way that streamlines processes while improving energy efficiency. Work with a team with more than 12 years experience retrofitting buildings all around Colorado with control systems that meet the demands and expectations of occupants and managers alike.
