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.
