ABOUT THE PROJECT

Tower 46, a commercial high-rise managed by Cushman & Wakefield, required a full replacement of its Building Management System (BMS) to improve operational efficiency. Our expertise was needed to provide a full-scope BMS replacement and commissioning, ensuring the system was tailored to the building’s complex infrastructure.

OUR SOLUTION

As part of the project, our team:

  • Surveyed and documented existing mechanical and control systems.
  • Developed new sequences of operations to automate major building systems.
  • Designed a non-proprietary BMS to replace the outdated platform.
  • Prepared a detailed RFP and supported bid leveling to select the right contractor.
  • Oversaw installation and commissioning to ensure proper system functionality.
  • Integrated alarms and monitoring tools to improve response time and visibility.
  • Verified performance through comprehensive run-throughs with building staff.

THE IMPACT

The new BMS streamlined operations across 36 floors, reduced energy waste, and provided facility staff with reliable, responsive building controls.
