PROBLEM 

Centenary College needed a campus-wide upgrade to its HVAC control systems across fifteen buildings, including major facilities such as the Gold Dome, Fitness Center, and Mickle Hall. The existing controls infrastructure consisted of multiple manufacturers and platforms, with no unified graphical interface, making system operation and monitoring difficult and inefficient. 

In addition, inconsistent control sequences and limited system visibility reduced overall performance across chillers, cooling towers, boilers, and air handling units. 

SOLUTION 

Storer Services implemented a campus-wide controls modernization strategy using Tridium Niagara as the unified front-end platform. The project included upgrading, reusing, and re-commissioning existing controls where appropriate, while replacing outdated systems to ensure proper sequencing and reliable operation. 

Working closely with local design partners and contractors, Storer played a key role in upgrading and optimizing major HVAC systems, including chillers, cooling towers, boilers, and air handling units across multiple buildings. 

The Niagara platform provided a single, user-friendly graphical interface for system monitoring, scheduling, and control, significantly improving usability and operational efficiency. 

LEGACY 

Through an ongoing Connected Building Services agreement, Storer Services continues to support Centenary College with system monitoring, preventive maintenance, and energy management across the campus. 

The program also includes controls training for the Centenary facilities team, enabling them to effectively operate and monitor building systems. Energy measurement and verification services help identify ongoing savings opportunities and ensure continued efficiency improvements. 

This long-term partnership has improved system reliability, reduced energy waste, and provided Centenary with a scalable, future-ready controls infrastructure.
