ABOUT THE PROJECT

A global technology company required a Building Management System (BMS) upgrade for its mission-critical server and IT testing labs. The existing system was outdated, difficult to service, and lacked visibility, resulting in failures, including a critical chiller failure that required a full replacement of a new chiller. The client partnered with our team to design a modern and reliable system to protect the company’s temperature-sensitive operations.

OUR SOLUTION

We implemented a comprehensive BMS upgrade by:

  • Replacing proprietary controls with an open-protocol system.
  • Designing the full system architecture, including supervisory servers, sub-panels, and controllers.
  • Integrating approximately 90 pieces of equipment into the new BMS.
  • Developing a detailed points list for complete system visibility.
  • Modifying sequences of operation to align with client needs.
  • Enabling secure remote access for continuous monitoring and support.
  • Coordinating with commissioning agents to confirm system performance.

THE IMPACT

The upgraded BMS delivers the visibility and control needed to prevent failures and ensure reliable lab operations in critical environments.
