Services

How DroMetrics supports BAS projects DroMetrics supports contractors, owners, and property managers through five core service lanes: audit and advisory, engineering and standards, remote engineering bench support, startup and commissioning, and upgrades and lifecycle support. Work can be delivered remotely, onsite, or in a blended model depending on scope, schedule, and project risk.
Audit & advisory Full page
Bring DroMetrics in early to review BAS conditions, inherited issues, scope gaps, standards problems, project risk, and the practical path forward before problems get more expensive.
  • Niagara site audits, BAS health checks, and inherited station reviews
  • Deficiency identification covering supportability, alarms, trends, graphics, naming, and station structure
  • Bid/spec support, sequence review, constructability input, and owner/contractor technical advisory
  • Current-state assessment for upgrades, modernization planning, and project recovery situations
Engineering & standards Cleaner delivery
Standardize the work so stations are easier to support, teams operate from the same structure, and closeout looks stronger when the project is done.
  • Niagara logic, sequence, graphics, alarming, and trending programming for new and existing stations
  • Graphics cleanup aligned to a repeatable DroMetrics standard for navigation, naming, and context
  • Naming/tagging standards, folder conventions, point hygiene, and baseline alarm/trend governance
  • Reusable templates, standard report packs, and deployment structures that improve repeatability
  • Station backups, change logging, release-note discipline, and audit-friendly documentation
Remote engineering bench Senior Niagara depth
Use DroMetrics as a remote BAS bench to support programming, troubleshooting, startup prep, and escalated project work without adding full-time overhead.
  • Remote Niagara engineering support for contractors, project managers, and BAS teams
  • Troubleshooting, programming, sequence refinement, and issue resolution for active projects and live sites
  • JACE/station preparation, graphics/database work, and startup readiness support
  • Escalation support when senior Niagara talent is thin or the job needs added technical depth
  • Flexible support cadence for retained engineering help or defined project phases
Startup & commissioning Get across the finish line
Support startup, checkout, functional testing, deficiency tracking, turnover, and performance verification with clear procedures and practical BAS execution.
  • Onsite or remote startup support, checkout assistance, troubleshooting, and performance remediation
  • Design and sequence review for operability, testability, and integration risk
  • Functional test scripts, checklists, deficiency logs, and evidence capture for commissioning
  • Operator handoff support, turnover documentation, and seasonal verification to reduce drift
  • Post-closeout stabilization support through trends, KPIs, and exception reporting
Upgrades & lifecycle Full page
Plan and execute station, JACE, and Niagara upgrades with compatibility review, rollback discipline, cutover control, stabilization, and lifecycle-minded support.
  • Upgrade planning: prerequisites, compatibility, licensing, staging, backups, and rollback strategy
  • Remote or onsite cutover coordination, post-upgrade validation, and stabilization punch support
  • Station and JACE cleanup including drivers, histories, user/role governance, platform checks, and time sync verification
  • Modernization planning for aging BAS sites, inherited systems, and multi-site standardization efforts
  • Ongoing lifecycle support to keep systems supportable after the immediate project is complete
Pre-configured JACEs & station templates Repeatable deployment
Pre-engineered JACEs, station structures, and reusable programming templates that help projects start cleaner, deploy faster, and land in the field with better consistency.
  • Pre-configured JACEs with baseline station structure, naming conventions, and security standards
  • Commissioning-ready alarm/trend packs, graphics shells, and reporting scaffolds
  • Reusable programming templates for common AHU, VAV, boiler, chiller, and plant applications
  • Bench setup, project-specific customization, field checkout support, and final validation once devices are online
Controls/controller selection, programming & project support Targeted scopes
Full-service controls support for targeted scopes, from controller selection and point-list development through programming, startup, commissioning, and turnover.
  • Controls/controller selection support for BACnet thermostats, unitary controllers, plant controllers, and supervisory gateways
  • Point lists, sequence review, network architecture guidance, and commissioning readiness planning
  • Programming support for standalone and networked BACnet control systems, from single-controller jobs to multi-controller peer-to-peer systems
  • Acceptance criteria for alarming, trending, graphics/navigation expectations, startup, turnover, and closeout documentation
Reporting & KPI packs Actionable visibility
Build report packs that surface what actually needs attention so operators, managers, and owners can act faster instead of digging through BAS noise.
  • Custom report packs using BQL/NEQL with scheduled outputs and ongoing query maintenance
  • Out-of-range, down/fault/stale, and override persistence reporting
  • Operator-focused exception reporting and audit-friendly summaries
  • Reporting structures aligned to naming/tagging standards for cleaner long-term support
Engagement model DroMetrics can support BAS work at multiple stages: pre-project review, engineering, startup, commissioning, closeout, modernization, and ongoing lifecycle support. Engagements may be project-based, milestone-based, retained, remote, onsite, or hybrid depending on what the work requires.
