Building Automation Engineering in Iowa City, IA

Iowa City is home to the University of Iowa and University of Iowa Hospitals, making it one of the Midwest's most active research, laboratory, and medical facility engineering markets.

What we engineer

Building automation and controls design: BACnet/IP and MS/TP network architecture per ASHRAE Standard 135, DDC controller layouts, sequences of operation written to ASHRAE Guideline 36, HVAC integration (chillers, boilers, VAV, VRF), lighting/HVAC integration, and energy metering per ASHRAE 90.1 Section 8.4. Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) for air handlers and plants, plus demand-response-ready sequences per OpenADR.

Code compliance that passes

ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC C403/C404/C405 control mandates — automatic shutoff, occupancy and daylighting sensing, demand-controlled ventilation — plus IECC C408 commissioning documentation and Title 24 acceptance testing where required. BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) with TLS encryption for cybersecurity on every network we design.

Backed by licensed PEs
