Ross & Baruzzini has a proven track record of improving the operations for our clients existing buildings. Our Retro-Commissioning (RCx) process is straight forward and focuses on improving operations, saving costs, and securing funding mechanisms to implement the work. We assess every facility top to bottom, reviewing the performance and configuration of all the living systems in the building to develop a compressive list of improvement measures with clear scopes of work, implementation costs, operational savings, and return on investment. During implementation, we manage for success through our proven construction administration, systems commissioning, and measurement/verification processes. Throughout the project, we utilize streamlined tools, provide clear communication, and engage all stake-holders to ensure our clients' goals and expected outcomes are achieved.

The security systems design and engineering phase of a project works to translate the established security program into a fully coordinated and constructible design package. It is key that that design package focuses on the security needs of the facility on day one, while delivering the flexibility to adapt, expand, and maintain compatibility with the technologies of tomorrow.  Functioning as a member of the project design team, we focus on the integration of physical and electronic security systems to ensure that they are in harmony with the building aesthetics, design approach, and operational mission of the facility.  We specialize not only in the design and specification of security systems, but in the development of supportive infrastructure and coordination with other systems and trades, including architecture, structure, MEP, fire detection and suppression, information technology, lighting, door hardware, vertical transportation, and others.  The end result is a coordinated, turn-key security system that has been designed and implemented in concert with the overall project.
