What public facilities teams tell us

None of these are unusual in a public portfolio.

Where agencies get stuck

  • A controls standard the incumbent vendor’s product line does not meet.
  • Only one contractor in the region can service the system.
  • Buildings that have to stay open while the work happens.
  • No accurate points list, sequence of operations or as-built database.
  • Capital that arrives in phases, not all at once.

What we do about it

  • Multi-line: four major platforms, so the recommendation fits the standard, not our badge.
  • Open BACnet and Niagara, so the next contractor can work on the building.
  • Live cutovers in occupied buildings, with a written fallback at every step.
  • We inventory and document the installed base before proposing scope.
  • Phased modernization that protects wiring, field devices and capital budgets.
Projects

Public-sector work we have delivered

Federal, state and local buildings.

Denver, Colorado

Denver Federal Center, BLM facility

Programming, commissioning support and installation for the new Bureau of Land Management building, to the operational standards of the GSA.

State of Colorado

Live chiller plant conversion

A live central chiller plant converted from Siemens to Distech to meet the state’s controls standard, without ever losing the plant, in partnership with US Engineering.

Fort Collins, Colorado

Colorado State Patrol

Building automation controls for the State Patrol office.

Nederland, Colorado

Nederland Community Library

New VAV, air-handler and energy-recovery ventilation controls, with floor-plan graphics for library staff.

Federal research. Our clean-room work at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden is on the data centers and labs page. Data centers and labs → · See all projects →
Open by design

The standard decides the system

The State of Colorado project moved a building away from a line we represent, because the owner’s standard called for it. A single-line contractor cannot do that. Their answer is always their own product. Ours is whatever keeps the building running and meets your standard.

Step 01

Assess and document

We inventory panels, controllers, field devices and the front end, and tell you plainly what carries forward.

Step 02

Stabilize

Fix what is actively costing comfort, energy or downtime before anyone talks about replacement.

Step 03

Phase the modernization

A plan matched to your capital cycle, upgrading in stages while the building keeps running.

Step 04

Operate and improve

Analytics-driven service, benchmarking and reporting, so performance is measured, not assumed.

Occupied buildings. We convert and upgrade systems in occupied buildings with staged cutovers, after-hours transfer windows and a written fallback at every step.
Secure remote access. Neeve provides zero-trust, encrypted connectivity for monitoring and managing a building remotely, with no direct path from the open internet to your controllers. About Neeve →
Analytics. With Environ analytics, each open fault carries a dollar figure built from the building’s own energy rates and equipment, so the repair request comes with a number. Cost impact on faults is available with Environ’s January 1, 2027 launch. Product availability is confirmed at quotation. See how Environ works →
FAQ

Public-facility questions we hear most

Can you build to our agency’s controls standard?

Usually, yes. We work across four major control lines and integrate on the open Tridium Niagara framework. At a State of Colorado facility we converted a live chiller plant onto the product the state’s standard called for, a line we do not represent.

Have you worked in federal facilities?

Yes. One of our first large projects was the new Bureau of Land Management building at the Denver Federal Center, delivered to the operational standards of the GSA. We have also worked in the clean room at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Do we have to replace the whole system at once?

Almost never. We inventory what you have, identify what carries forward, and stage the work around your capital cycle, highest-risk equipment first, with the building running throughout.

Can the building stay open during the work?

That is how we plan it: staged cutovers, after-hours transfer windows and a written fallback at every step.

Have a controls standard to meet?

Send us the standard and the building, and we’ll tell you honestly what it takes. Call (720) 282-5099 or request a quote.
