Upgrading the Building Management Control System

TC Controls replaced and modernized the building management control system at a Springfield, Massachusetts office building — coordinating installation, programming, and National Grid incentive requirements from rooftop units through the floor plate.

When the existing system is ready for replacement

The building’s legacy building management control system had reached the end of its useful life. Day-to-day operations depended on equipment that was difficult to maintain, limited in visibility, and no longer aligned with how the property team wanted to run the facility.

TC Controls was brought in to design and install a full BMS upgrade — one that would improve control at the rooftop, in the mechanical spaces, and at the zone level throughout the building.

From panel build-out to floor-level controls

Our team executed the installation across the full controls stack:

  • Replaced and upgraded the building management control system platform.
  • Installed and terminated field controllers, I/O, and communication wiring in mechanical and rooftop panels.
  • Programmed sequences for rooftop units, air-handling equipment, and variable-air-volume zones.
  • Coordinated National Grid incentive documentation alongside the technical rollout.
  • Commissioned the new system for handoff to the building operations team.

A controls platform built for daily operations

The finished installation gives the property team a modern BMS they can operate with confidence — from rooftop equipment down to individual zones. Sequences are documented, panels are organized for service access, and the incentive process stayed connected to the implementation plan throughout.

With controls engineered, installed, and programmed by the same team, the building is positioned for ongoing optimization and long-term service support.
