Fundamental to controlling energy, costs and comfort in any facility is providing expertise in building management systems and direct digital control systems. Converge Systems Company offers complete automated solutions to integrate your building. We will design, install, and support your building control system regardless of size. Our technicians can diagnose and troubleshoot a wide array of BACnet, LON, or Modbus platforms.

Existing control systems require regular maintenance. Sensors, devices, or sequences of operations can fall out of calibration or proper operation. Any small error in the design concept of an HVAC control system can cost owners thousands of dollars in wasted energy consumption. We specialize in working with existing systems and getting them commissioned back into proper shape.

A good BMS service provider is not only a technology savvy company. Technicians must be able to understand the engineering principles behind the proper operation of a particular system. When it comes to controls, garbage in –garbage out is as true as it gets. Manipulating controls must be done with an understanding of proper system configuration and operation.

If you feel like your handcuffed with your present controls provider or stuck with a proprietary system, give us a call. We can provide an alternative solution. Our team includes Tridium certified technicians that have the experience to modify and reconfigure your system. We are an open building control systems integrator that can free you from limits of your present system.

Building Automation

BUILDING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY

Buildings can no longer be operated with a singular focus on separate systems like HVAC, electrical, lighting, tenant usage patterns, and the building envelope – NOT if it is to function as a high performing building. And, because buildings do not operate in a static state, they must be constantly managed to keep pace with an ever-changing facility environment. Here at Converge Systems Company in Miami, FL, we seek to CONVERGE people, technology, and systems with our building systems technology, to come up with the most creative and effective solutions for energy optimization. By employing a combination of preventive maintenance with predictive and prescriptive measures we can find ways to improve a buildings net operating income, increase the ROI on energy conservation measures, and ultimately improve the value of the building asset through comprehensive building management systems.

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

According to the Building Owners & Management Association (BOMA), in the life cycle of a building, approximately 31% of the operating expense will be attributed to the cost of utilities while another 23% to ongoing maintenance & repair.

Further, when you consider that according to the Energy Information Administration, 47% of a building’s typical energy use is attributable to the HVAC systems, it becomes apparent that traditional methods of operating and maintenance (O&M) are not best suited for today’s building environment.

Traditional building O&M does not take into account effects on the cost of building administration and utilities. By changing the perspective, we can identify solutions that can positively affect almost 54% of a building’s activities. Gains of 5% – 20% on utility bills can be easily achieved without requiring major capital investments, and these dollars are immediately “released” to be applied to more critical needs or perhaps higher earning building investments.

Harvesting a significant return on energy initiatives is not solely the domain of large buildings. According to the CBESC, over 99% of the buildings in the commercial market are under 200,000 SF, those buildings are using 75% of the total energy consumed by all commercial buildings. Whether your facility is large or small, we can help you implement energy optimization measures that are both feasible and cost effective.

SYSTEM LIFE CYCLES

At Converge Systems Company we focus on getting the most out of the O&M portion of the building’s life cycle. The cost of designing and constructing a new HVAC system is only about 5%-10% of the total building life cycle cost while the cost of operation which represents about 60%-85%! We believe that better data allows for better and more informed decisions.

Energy Benchmarking

Operators of high performing buildings are twice as likely to integrate key operational metrics with financial decision making. Introducing energy consumption data into the decision matrix opens more options for you to improve your bottom line. By providing an Energy Star benchmark, Converge Systems Company of Miami, FL, can rate your facility’s energy performance against a national database of thousands of similar-use buildings.

The Energy Star program was developed jointly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, and the benchmark is provided as a numerical rating between 1 – 100. The rating tells you where you stand in comparison to your peers. It provides a data-driven framework around which you can make objective, informed decisions as well as developing smarter goals for your facility’s energy optimization. Our energy management control systems provide a solution to energy efficiency at your facility. Learn more through our facility management consulting.

ENERGY AUDITS

While energy benchmarking is the first step to gauging your overall energy consumption level, an energy audit of your facility will provide a more detailed analysis that helps you identify specific measures that would result in a reduction in energy spending. Our energy audits are conducted based on standards set by ASHRAE for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Energy audits can be used for a wide range of reasons. You may be interested in developing specific energy conservation measures or you may be interested in developing a master plan/objective for your facility. The three levels of audits can be custom tailored to fit your needs, so contact us about our energy management control systems today!

Continuous Commissioning & Retro-Commissioning

All buildings suffer performance degradation due to regular wear & tear, performance “drift”, improper startups & commissioning, inadequate designs, or incorrect sequences of operation – just to name a few reasons. Whether your facility is new or old, all buildings need to be regularly “tuned” in order to assure that current load requirements are being met efficiently. By continually monitoring performance, you will prevent losses that normally go undetected for long periods of time and potentially cost you thousands of dollars. Consistency in a process is very important if you want to get y our energy consumption under control, and a constant commissioning effort will guarantee your system will be operating at peak condition all around the clock.

Utility Bill Analysis

Ensuring that your facility is under the most appropriate rate structure while verifying that billed charges and tax rates are correctly assessed is a low cost measure that brings visibility to issues such as changes in annual expenditures, tenant occupancy & usage patterns, or KW demand. It’s an opportunity to recoup money that is just being wasted.
