An honest baseline, then the corrections that actually pay
Most of the savings available in your buildings are in equipment you already own, running under control logic that quietly stopped doing what it was commissioned to do. Finding that is cheap. Being told the truth about it is the part that is hard to buy.
What we usually find
- Points overridden during a call-back three years ago and never restored.
- A schedule widened to settle one complaint, still running the building at 4 a.m.
- Resets disabled to chase a hot call, so supply air and static pressure never modulate.
- Economizers that stopped changing over and nobody noticed, because nothing alarmed.
- Sensors reading a drift the sequence has been faithfully responding to for years.
- Alarms nobody acts on, because the register was never tuned and everything alarms.
- Controllers orphaned on a dead trunk, still shown on a graphic as if they were live.
- A supervisory front end at end of life, with a replacement quote for the whole building.
What we do about it
-
Condition assessment & gap analysis
A vendor-neutral inventory of supervisory devices, field controllers, topology, protocol boundaries, firmware and license posture — then a test of whether any of it works. The deliverable is a scored assessment with prioritized findings and cost-ranged remedies.
-
Retro-commissioning
Systematic recovery of drift, overrides and broken sequences. We implement the corrections rather than handing you a report — reprogramming resets and staging, restoring economizer and changeover logic, retuning loops, rebuilding scheduling and setback.
-
Modernization roadmap
A multi-year plan sequenced by risk and payback: what is end-of-life, where the supervisory layer can be modernized independently of the field layer, and where an open front end lets working field devices serve another decade.
-
Owner's technical representative
We sit on your side of the table and read what the controls contractor actually submitted — submittals, point lists, risers, programming — against the contract documents, and hold the punch list until it is genuinely closed.
-
Measurement & verification
IPMVP-consistent baselines and verification for utility incentives, performance reporting and internal capital justification — plus the analysis beforehand that says which measures produce savings against your load profile.
-
BAS preventive maintenance
Scheduled maintenance for the control system itself: backup verification, license and firmware currency, sensor calibration rotation, override and setpoint audit, alarm register review, and a written report each cycle.
-
Fault detection & analytics
Rules tuned to your real sequences rather than to a template, thresholds that suppress noise instead of generating it, and the interpretation layer that triages findings by energy and comfort impact and closes them.
-
Operator enablement
Training on your building, your sequences and your graphics — what each sequence does and why, how to read trends, when an override is appropriate and how to guarantee it comes back off, and when to escalate.
Why the finding is trustworthy
We do not carry a manufacturer line card. There is no brand we are compensated to recommend and no replacement we are positioned to sell, which means an assessment can honestly conclude that most of your system is fine and the problem is four points and a schedule.
Where the platform decision is genuinely open, we will give you the tradeoffs straight — including the ones the manufacturer's representative has no incentive to raise.
We work as design-assist in support of the engineer of record. OmniaMSI does not hold itself out as an engineering firm of record and does not provide professional services requiring engineering licensure.
