Junipero Serra Building Direct Digital Controllers/Building Management System Modernization Project

The Junipero Serra Building Direct Digital Controllers/Building Management System Modernization Project aims to significantly enhance energy efficiency by upgrading the core control infrastructure of the HVAC system located in Los Angeles, California. This includes replacing all existing variable air volume terminal units with new equipment and integrated controls, modernizing the direct digital control controllers throughout the facility, and upgrading the building management system’s communication network to enable seamless integration and centralized monitoring of multiple building systems such as HVAC, lighting, and fire alarm. The project will also connect the recently upgraded chiller and cooling tower controllers to the new network, ensuring unified control and optimized performance across all mechanical systems. This initiative, forecasted by the California Department of General Services, targets improved operational efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced system reliability through comprehensive technological upgrades. The work will be performed at the building located in zip code 90013, with Winston Cole, Senior Civil Engineer, serving as the primary point of contact and JT Anderson, Project Director II, supporting project oversight. The project is positioned as a strategic infrastructure modernization effort to align building systems with current best practices in building automation and energy management, though specific funding details and set-aside classifications have not been disclosed.
