Altura helps clients navigate the complex journey to smart buildings through a pioneering approach to Systems Planning, Analytics and Integration that delivers proven business value and occupant delight.
Altura is a new breed of engineering consulting firm, delivering everything it takes to guide owners to realizing climate & carbon goals by maximizing building performance. Clients describe working with Altura as “transforming the way we deliver projects”, “taking the pain and confusion out of the smart building systems delivery process”, and “delivering an integrated commissioning and systems integrator process that actually delivers business value”.
In the planning phase, our involvement takes the form of decarbonization roadmaps and building automation standards. During design, Altura takes ownership for defining the building controls strategy and establishing performance-based systems acceptance criteria. In the construction phase, we leverage our groundbreaking data analytics platform to transform MEP systems delivery, enable connected commissioning, and build automation software that delivers best-in-class occupant and operator experiences. During the critical operations and maintenance phase, Altura weaves targeted data analytics processes into your organizational workflows to ensure persistent value and achievement of long-term carbon goals.
QuadReal tunes three practices from its connected-building standard for multifamily at its Immix apartment building in Toronto: commissioning sequencing, resident-scaled privacy reviews, and resident-managed access.
Learn how standardized HVAC sequences of operation, building automation systems (BAS), cooling tower optimization, and analytics help commercial real estate portfolios improve energy efficiency, reduce HVAC complaints, and achieve repeatable building performance at scale.
Learn how Texas Tech University built an in-house HVAC controls team to eliminate sequence drift, optimize building automation systems (BAS), reduce energy costs, and improve HVAC performance through recommissioning, controls programming, and fault detection.
Learn how UC Irvine uses operational commissioning, SkySpark, building automation systems (BAS), fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), and HVAC optimization to improve energy efficiency and building performance across a large campus.
Learn how RTX is using continuous commissioning, monitor-based commissioning (MBCx), and intelligent building controls to optimize HVAC performance, uncover energy savings opportunities, and scale energy management across a global portfolio of manufacturing facilities.
Get a fast, plain-English overview of HVAC sequence optimization: what it is, why energy 'drift' quietly drives up commercial building costs, the three levers building owners actually pull (sequences, set points, and schedules), and a 12-step playbook plus benchmarking framework for making optimization a permanent part of building operations.
