Energy Management Systems

Run the building from one screen.

The control system that runs your mechanical plant, designed, installed, commissioned, and supported by the same team after turnover.

What EMS means here

A practical operating layer for HVAC, lighting, metering, and alarms.

We bring mixed mechanical systems into a coherent control strategy: schedules that hold, sequences that match the building, alarms that matter, and data an owner can act on.

  • Design

    Controls engineering

    Points lists, sequences, network architecture, panel design, and field coordination for new construction, retrofits, and modernization work.

  • Install

    Field execution

    FMC technicians wire, commission, and tune BAS work in active buildings where uptime, tenant comfort, and clear coordination matter.

  • Support

    Service after startup

    Remote troubleshooting, scheduled service, emergency response, and incremental improvements as tenants, equipment, and utility costs change.

Integration

One building. One screen. Any manufacturer.

Most buildings do not have one control system. They have three or four, from different decades and different vendors. We use Tridium Niagara to bring them into one view without ripping out working hardware.

  • One front end

    Operators get a clean view of schedules, alarms, trends, and overrides instead of chasing panels and vendor screens.

  • One accountable team

    The same people who design the system can return to maintain it, tune it, and explain what changed.

How an EMS gets built

Four steps. Same engineer start to finish.

New installation or retrofit, the process is the same. We walk the building, write the sequences, and stay with it through commissioning.

  1. Site survey & engineering

    Walk the plant, take stock of what’s there, draw up a control spec that matches how the building is used.

  2. Controllers & sensors

    Panel layouts and field installs documented clearly, so any engineer can follow the work later.

  3. Programming & sequences

    Same engineer writes it, signs it, and answers the phone when it needs to change.

  4. Commissioning

    Point-to-point, trends, alarms, and graphics checked against the actual building, with dashboards built for the operators who use them.

Funding

Mass Save incentives can cover a meaningful share of the cost.

Massachusetts utility programs help fund eligible EMS work. FMC screens the fit, prepares the paperwork, and keeps the incentive process moving.
