Background A new customer, referred by a neighboring school district, approached Peterson with significant issues in their Building Automation System (BAS). The existing system, installed by an unknown vendor, was not functioning properly, causing discomfort and operational inefficiencies. Challenge The school district faced several challenges: The BAS was not showing accurate information, leading to improper climate control. Teachers and students were experiencing significant discomfort due to temperature inconsistencies. The district was concerned about the feasibility of repairs during the school year, with limited access to classrooms due to ongoing classes. A new facilities manager with minimal HVAC experience had just been hired, adding another layer of complexity. Solution Assessment and Evaluation Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the existing controls systems. We determined that the system was not displaying true information and presented our findings to the customer in an evaluation meeting. We provided a solution that involved installing a new user interface to correctly display the operation of the system. Implementation We made a detailed list of what was not working in the current BAS. The district hired [Company Name] to fix the issues, with a focus on minimizing disruption during the school year. Our technician scheduled an initial visit for one day to assess the scope of work needed. Due to the complexity of the issues, the school district requested daily visits until all problems were resolved in the classrooms. Continuous Support Our technicians provided ongoing support, becoming a daily presence until all issues were resolved. Teachers began requesting our technicians by name, indicating their trust in our services and the improvements they were experiencing. Facilities Management Improvement The newly hired facilities manager, despite having minimal education and experience in HVAC facility management, received extensive on-the-job training through our collaboration. Over the course of a year, this individual became significantly more educated and aware of the school’s systems and assets. He is now applying for the Facilities Manager of the Year award for NJ Public Schools, which requires two years of experience. Outcome Enhanced Comfort: Both teachers and students reported significantly improved climate control and equipment operation. Operational Savings: The school experienced a reduction in complaints and time spent trying to fix and manipulate the BAS system, leading to increased operational efficiency. Positive Recognition: The teachers’ union expressed their gratitude to the school board for hiring the new facilities manager, indirectly highlighting the positive impact of our services. Wider Impact: The success of this project led to recommendations to other school districts, demonstrating the importance of having qualified and knowledgeable professionals managing HVAC systems. Many school districts struggle with unresolved issues due to a lack of proper education and qualifications in finding effective solutions. The transformation in our school’s climate control has been remarkable. The expertise and dedication of [Company Name]’s team have not only improved our BAS but also educated our staff, leading to a more comfortable and efficient learning environment John Doe, XYZ Company This case study illustrates the comprehensive approach Peterson takes to assess, implement, and support HVAC solutions, highlighting the positive outcomes and long-term benefits for the client.
