2023 marked a year of remarkable progress for American Energy Management (AEM) and Connecticut Temperature Controls (CTC). Emphasis was placed on pioneering solutions, enhancing energy efficiency, and elevating occupant comfort. The delivery of real-time insights empowered customers for agile decision-making. Sustainability claimed a prominent role, with systems achieving substantial energy savings and emissions reductions. The dedication to customized client solutions remained steadfast, ensuring surpassing expectations.
AEM and CTC have had a busy and productive year, wrapping up many projects in 2023. AEM has recently finalized a BMS system upgrade for a 30-story office complex. The previous BMS system was antiquated and comprised numerous components that had become obsolete. Consequently, the controllers could not undergo reprogramming to offer improved functionalities. AEM implemented a cutting-edge BMS front end and replaced the existing controllers, ensuring significant energy savings for the client. This upgrade provides a future-ready solution that can support additional enhancements such as air quality monitoring, lighting controls, customized user apps, and more.
CTC is in the final stages of completing a Building Automation HVAC Renovation project in Windsor, Conn. This multifaceted project involved three phases, encompassing the removal of existing HVAC equipment and its replacement with upgraded counterparts. CTC took charge of installing new DDC controls for air handler units and reheat coils, wiring a new VRF system, and incorporating multiple unit heaters. The last phase of the project focused on the boiler plant and hot water pumps, including the implementation of domestic hot water monitoring. Additionally, approximately 145 fin tube radiation units were installed, each equipped with space temperature sensors and unit ventilators. CTC played a pivotal role in overseeing project management, providing engineering expertise, managing electrical installation, and conducting thorough system checkouts for the new DDC system. The result is a cutting-edge controls system that meets the customer’s state-of-the-art requirements.
Furthermore, investing in our team’s growth and development was paramount. Comprehensive training programs ensured that our experts stayed at the forefront of industry trends and technological advancements. Throughout the last year, we’ve experienced notable progress and expansion, highlighted by the introduction of several skilled professionals to our team. Across both locations, we’ve welcomed nine new team members, each bringing unique perspectives and expertise. We are committed to maintaining this growth trajectory into 2024.
As we stride into 2024, AEM and CTC are poised for even greater heights in sustainability, energy savings and smart buildings. We extend heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and team members for their invaluable support.
