Bridgers & Paxton takes the time to sit down with our clients in an effort to gain a full understanding of their energy management and control needs and wants. We communicate our experiences to the clients, discuss new systems or complete field assessments of the existing systems, and work towards defining a clear set of criteria that establish the best value solution for that client. After this set of criteria is established, we often work with the client to establish a prioritized listing of the criteria and a scale (metrics) against which competing objectives can be resolved. These metrics can then be applied to all aspects of the project including scope of design, definition of system features, manufacturer/contractor selection, training, and operations. The Group not only provides detailed system designs for state-of-the-art Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS), but also provides coordination interface between the mechanical and electrical design teams. Bridgers & Paxton views EMCS design as an integral component of the total design package. These advanced systems provide a host of benefits to building operators. The Controls Design Group is actively involved with frequent design reviews and discussions between design team members. This Group will provide the design team with detailed and reliable control designs to achieve the desired operating sequences in the most energy efficient manner. The Controls Design Group also works with the estimating department to determine accurate prices for the designed control systems. During construction, the Controls Design Group is responsible to review the control submittals, answer contractor's requests for information, and provide on-site observations. The Controls Design Group is also available to provide in depth field checkout or system commissioning of the EMCS installation. |
