Building Automation Engineering in Portage, MI

Portage is a Kalamazoo-area suburb with growing commercial and residential development, anchored by major retail corridors and proximity to Western Michigan University, generating suburban construction and MEP engineering activity.

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
