Most commercial buildings run on manual setpoints and reactive repairs. A BAS changes that — giving your facility team real-time visibility, automated scheduling, and the data to catch equipment drift before it becomes a failure.
Facility managers who have never had a building automation system describe the same problem: equipment runs outside schedule and nobody knows, zone complaints are impossible to diagnose remotely, and failures surface when a tenant calls — not before.
A properly designed and integrated BAS changes the operating picture. You get a single view of every piece of equipment in the building — setpoints, runtime, alarms, trends — and the ability to make adjustments without dispatching a tech to the roof.
Comfort SLAs, critical zone control, IAQ monitoring, redundancy planning for patient-facing spaces
Process environment control, exhaust and makeup air automation, mixed-vintage equipment integration
Occupied/unoccupied scheduling, energy reporting, summer shutdown sequencing
Precision cooling verification, hot aisle monitoring, 24/7 alarm escalation
Tenant comfort SLAs, after-hours HVAC requests, energy benchmarking for ownership reporting
Dock door conditioning, large-volume scheduling, utility demand management
We don’t sell a BAS platform. We design the system that fits your building, integrate it with your existing HVAC, and stay on the monitoring side once it’s live.
Control sequence design, point list development, hardware specification — sized for your building, not a catalog default.
Existing RTUs, chillers, AHUs, VAVs, and boilers wired and commissioned into the BAS without a rip-and-replace.
Buildings with pneumatic controls or older DDC can be migrated incrementally — no full-building shutdown required.
Alarm routing, fault detection, and remote setpoint adjustment. Issues surface before tenants call.
Functional performance testing, as-built point lists, operator training, and O&M documentation you can actually use.
Graphics updates, trend logging review, firmware management, and control sequence tuning as your building changes.
Most BAS contractors are aligned with a single platform. When equipment changes, or you want competitive pricing on a service call, you find out the system only runs on one vendor’s tools — and only their techs can touch it.
Step 1 — Site walk. A controls tech walks the mechanical rooms, rooftop units, and occupied spaces. We map what’s controlled and what isn’t.
Step 2 — Existing conditions report. We document every controlled point, the current control sequences (or lack of them), and equipment running without feedback loops.
Step 3 — Design & scope. Control sequence design, point list, hardware spec. Reviewed with your team before anything is ordered.
Step 4 — Installation & commissioning. Wiring, programming, functional testing. We don’t hand off until every point responds.
77 years of Chicagoland commercial HVAC means we understand what’s actually in older buildings — pneumatic controls, mixed-vintage equipment, non-standard piping. BAS work that starts with an honest site walk goes differently than BAS work that starts with a catalog quote.
Manufacturer-independent. We’re not pushing a platform because we carry it. We specify open-protocol systems and tell you exactly what the tradeoffs are.
Employee-owned. The tech who wires your BAS has equity in the company. It shows up in the quality of the as-built documentation and in how they answer the phone when something trips at 2 AM.
Northbrook-based. Your building is in Chicagoland. We’re here — not routed through a regional office.
Tell us about your building. We’ll walk the mechanical rooms, map the existing controls, and put together a realistic BAS scope — no obligation, no catalog quote.
