Facilities — whether defined as smart, green, sustainable or high-performance — are large-capital, long-term investments designed to provide a safe, healthy and productive work environment. Facility investments help achieve overall visibility and control, energy efficiency, improved asset life-cycle performance, optimized space use, and reduced operational and maintenance costs.
These design characteristics require a significant commitment from facility owners and their managers to develop the knowledge, skills and culture of continuous improvement needed to protect this investment and to meet corporate governance and sustainability goals.
An Integrated Building Solution
The three technical domains of a building are facility, energy and business. For a comprehensive energy and operational high-performance building solution, these technical domains must be integrated. As a stakeholder, you understand that integrating these domains creates challenges, requiring different skill sets, languages, workflows, performance indicators and technologies. We design and deploy our high-performance building projects with the technologies, solutions and services that create the positive, data-driven decisions needed to converge these domains.
The combination of our vision, experience and market leadership position accelerates new opportunities to support your stakeholders' facility management goals: protecting investment, promoting a productive working environment, minimizing carbon footprint, and improving the revenue-to-expense ratio through cost reduction and cost avoidance.
Progressive Design-Build for New and Existing Systems
Whether it’s new construction or an upgrade of an existing system, our progressive design-build approach encourages collaboration in the planning and executing of each project step to meet your predefined goals.
Because we combine our technical experience with industry-standard commissioning guidelines, we match your needs with program-level uniformity and standardization. This creates an environment of continuous improvement that promotes energy savings, increases business values, enhances operations and productivity, and protects your built environment’s physical and financial health, positively impacting your bottom line.
The outcome is a high-performance building that provides visibility, command and control, and strategic decision-making tools, offering holistic insights into enterprise operations that promote a culture of continuous improvement.
Case Study
Stadium Upgrades for Major Events
Burns & McDonnell
A complete upgrade and overhaul of critical heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting control systems at a large Arizona stadium that frequently hosts major sporting and entertainment events proactively positions stadium personnel to address energy conservation, mitigate equipment failure, enhance guest comfort, and streamline operation and maintenance procedures.

Unlocking Smarter Solutions for Managing the Built Environment
Burns & McDonnell
The built environment is increasingly dependent on sophisticated, connected controls for heating and air conditioning, energy management, lighting and many other systems. Unfortunately, many of these controls function in silos, with little interoperability and integration. A master systems integration strategy utilizing advanced controls platforms can give owners and operators the connectivity and access to the data they need to optimize operating costs, use energy more efficiently and address the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions.

Delivering Today’s High-Performance Intelligent Buildings
Burns & McDonnell
High-performance buildings rely on sophisticated, connected controls for heating, air conditioning, energy management, lighting and other systems. Many of these control systems function in proprietary silos, with little interoperability and integration. Modernizing control systems, including open architectures, and implementing a master systems integration strategy that utilizes advanced building, connected IP controls provides owners and operators the connectivity and access to the data required to manage, operate and control buildings in today’s environment.
