Conducting reviews of building management systems in multi-story buildings for automation, control, and monitoring of HVAC, lighting, security, electric power distribution, and other systems. Examining existing data network diagrams to interface legacy and new equipment. Requires specification of new controllers, network switches, I/O modules, RTUs, and Modbus communication protocols, among many other tasks.Also conducting electrical system and apparatus condition assessments in manufacturing and medical facilities. Discuss electrical system operation, problems, and identify critical equipment with facilities managers. Examine and photograph electrical distribution equipment, monitor voltage and current waveshapes and energy usage at specific locations of interest. Analyze single-line diagrams, make recommendations for addition of equipment or new circuits to improve reliability and resiliency, and generate reports that report the condition of electrical equipment and systems beginning with those serving the most critical loads to the least critical loads. This allows maintenance dollars to be allocated in the most cost-effective manner.
