What TCG Installs & Maintains

Every TCG BMS installation is built on Ethernet infrastructure and open protocols — giving your building real-time intelligence, remote access, and freedom from vendor lock-in.

🌐

Ethernet BMS Backbone & Infrastructure

High-speed IP-based infrastructure (100 Mbps–10 Gbps) replacing aging RS-485 serial wiring. Full BACnet/IP and Modbus open-protocol support across every building system.

📱

Centralized Monitoring & Remote Access

Cloud-enabled unified dashboards for HVAC, lighting, air quality, access, and energy — accessible from any device, anywhere. Identify and resolve issues before they escalate.

Energy Management & Optimization

Automated scheduling, occupancy-based controls, and demand response integration reduce energy consumption 20–30%. Detailed reporting demonstrates ROI to building ownership.

🔍

Fault Detection & Predictive Maintenance

Continuous anomaly monitoring flags equipment issues before they become failures. Data-driven maintenance scheduling extends lifecycle and reduces emergency repair costs 3–5×.

🛡️

Cybersecurity & IT/OT Network Design

Proper IT/OT segmentation, BACnet Secure Connect, and firewall configuration protect your building systems from threats without sacrificing connectivity or remote access.

🔗

System Integration & Legacy Upgrades

HVAC, lighting, security, fire, access control, and metering unified into one managed platform. Existing infrastructure assessed and retained where viable to minimize cost and disruption.

10 Things Your BMS Should Do for Your Facility

TCG engineers every installation around the outcomes Michigan building owners and facilities teams actually need.

1

Safety & Emergency Response Integration

Real-time coordination of fire, smoke, access control, and emergency systems with automated, building-wide response over a reliable Ethernet backbone.

2

Reliable Environmental Control

Precision HVAC, humidity, ventilation, and lighting based on real-time occupancy — eliminating wasteful simultaneous heating and cooling and maintaining occupant comfort.

3

Energy Efficiency & Demand Response

Automated load scheduling and demand response reduce utility costs 20–30%. Integration with renewables and detailed analytics to prove ROI to ownership.

4

Centralized Monitoring & Remote Access

A cloud-enabled unified dashboard for every building system, accessible from any device anywhere — resolve issues without requiring an on-site visit.

5

Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD)

Continuous monitoring powered by Ethernet bandwidth. Proactive anomaly alerts mean problems are fixed before occupants notice — not after equipment fails.

6

Predictive & Preventive Maintenance

Data-driven insights schedule maintenance before failures, extend equipment lifecycles, and reduce unplanned downtime — lowering long-term capital expenditure significantly.

7

Cybersecurity & Network Resilience

IT/OT segmentation, BACnet Secure Connect encryption, and firewall policies tuned for building automation keep systems connected and protected from cyber threats.

8

Open Protocol Interoperability

BACnet/IP, Modbus, and LonWorks support means no vendor lock-in. Add IoT devices or change vendors freely — your infrastructure investment is fully protected.

9

Cost Control & Operational Reporting

Granular analytics on energy, maintenance, and performance lower utility bills, optimize labor, and deliver documented ROI reporting for ownership and stakeholders.

10

Equipment Lifecycle & Sustainability

Optimized runtimes and asset tracking extend HVAC and critical system lifecycles while supporting LEED, Michigan energy code compliance, and green building goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

A BMS (also called a BAS) integrates HVAC, lighting, security, fire, and other building systems into one manageable platform. If your building has siloed systems, no remote monitoring, or rising energy and maintenance costs, a modern BMS addresses all of these directly.
Older BMS platforms ran on proprietary serial protocols (BACnet MS/TP over RS-485) capped at ~76 Kbps. Modern Ethernet-based BMS operates at 100 Mbps–10 Gbps, enabling real-time data, remote access, cloud integration, and IoT sensors — a dramatic improvement in performance and flexibility.
Key requirements include ASHRAE 90.1 energy efficiency standards (adopted into Michigan’s energy code), Michigan Building Code requirements for fire and life safety integration, and BDA/ERRCS requirements for emergency communications in larger structures. TCG conducts a compliance gap analysis as part of every free assessment.
In many cases, TCG can integrate with or extend existing infrastructure — especially systems using open protocols like BACnet or Modbus. We evaluate your current system and give honest guidance on what to retain versus replace. Our goal is the most cost-effective path, not the most expensive one.
Costs vary by building size, existing infrastructure, and scope. A targeted upgrade for a smaller facility might start around $25,000–$50,000; a full campus installation can exceed $500,000. TCG’s free assessment includes written cost ranges specific to your facility so you can budget accurately before committing.
TCG designs every BMS network with IT/OT segmentation, BACnet Secure Connect encryption, and firewall rules tuned for building automation. Cybersecurity is a core design requirement in every TCG BMS project — not an afterthought.
Yes — TCG’s ServicePAK plans provide proactive, scheduled maintenance including priority response, system health audits, firmware updates, and preventive maintenance visits. Most facility managers find a ServicePAK plan pays for itself in avoided emergency repair costs within the first year.
