Core Optimization Services

  • Energy Conservation & Third-Party Partner Collaboration
    Partnering seamlessly with energy management firms (such as Cenergistic) and internal sustainability teams to implement, verify, and sustain energy-saving control strategies without sacrificing occupant comfort.
     

  • HVAC Sequence & Control Loop Refinement
    Fine-tuning PID loops, temperature/pressure reset schedules, optimal start/stop logic, and economizer controls to stop simultaneous heating and cooling, eliminate equipment short-cycling, and cut utility waste.
     

  • Schedule & Occupancy Auditing
    Aligning building operating schedules, holiday calendars, and setback modes with actual facility usage across complex multi-building campuses to prevent conditioning empty spaces.
     

  • JACE & Supervisor Resource Tuning
    Streamlining bloated wire sheets, optimizing scan times, and cleaning up background tasks to dramatically reduce CPU load, free up memory, and prevent unexpected controller reboots.
     

  • BACnet & Field Bus Traffic Optimization
    Tuning COV (Change of Value) increments, adjusting polling intervals, and eliminating redundant network requests to stop MS/TP and IP network congestion before it slows down your building.
     

  • Alarm Rationalization & Nuisance Reduction
    Auditing and restructuring alarm classes, deadbands, and time delays to eliminate alarm fatigue—ensuring operators only get alerted to actionable, mission-critical issues.
     

  • History, Metering & Database Efficiency
    Configuring reliable utility sub-metering trends, right-sizing history intervals, and optimizing SQL/RDBMS exports so energy managers and operators have clean, accurate data for Measurement & Verification (M&V).

Core Troubleshooting Capabilities

  • Station & JACE Performance Bottlenecks
    Diagnosing and resolving high CPU usage, memory leaks, slow station boot times, and resource-heavy wire sheets that cause JACE controllers or Supervisors to lock up and drop offline.
     

  • Multi-Protocol Integration & Driver Conflicts
    Resolving communication failures, device polling timeouts, and network storms across BACnet (IP and MS/TP), LonWorks, Modbus, SNMP, and legacy proprietary protocols.
     

  • Database, History & Alarm Management
    Fixing corrupted history extensions, runaway alarm consoles, stalled data archiving, and SQL/RDBMS export failures to ensure accurate reporting and compliance tracking.
     

  • Network Architecture & Fox/TLS Connectivity
    Troubleshooting failed Niagara Network (Fox/Foxs) station-to-station communications, broken SSL/TLS certificates, firewall port conflicts, and VPN/routing issues across multi-building campuses.
     

  • Control Logic & Sequence of Operations (SOO) Errors
    Auditing and correcting faulty wire-sheet programming, hunting control loops, overridden points, and schedule conflicts that waste energy and compromise occupant comfort.
     

  • Cybersecurity & User Access Auditing
    Eliminating vulnerabilities by fixing misconfigured user permissions, station authentication errors, and outdated security protocols without disrupting daily facility operations.
     

  • Legacy Migrations & Version Upgrades
    Resolving post-upgrade module incompatibilities, broken graphics, and licensing issues when transitioning systems from Niagara AX to Niagara 4 or updating to the latest N4 builds.

Reporting/Compliance

  • Support Joint Commission reporting and compliance for areas, including operating rooms, refrigerators, freezers, clean rooms, and pressure-controlled spaces; reporting includes zone temperatures, humidity, pressures, air exchanges, and alarms.

  • Provide alarm reporting for compliance in operating rooms and procedure rooms.

  • Support reporting for AAALAC accreditation for the Division of Laboratory Animal Research.

  • Support pharmacy compliance requirements.

  • Manage Swisslog tube systems including tube and alarm reporting, upgrades, maintenance troubleshooting, system functionality, cybersecurity and stability updates, downtime reporting, and Blood Bank staff training and client installation support.
