Defining BSC
BSC was formed in 1985 by a group of environmental control engineers determined to greatly improve the quality of the indoor environment while minimizing building operating costs.
Our earliest design project was the first energy conservation project to save a local municipality over $1,000,000.00 per year in energy and over 25% in operating and maintenance costs for one building – starting in 1987!
We have continued to develop building mechanical and energy systems infrastructure that are able to be truly sustainable. The systems are efficient and effective and adaptable to renewable energy sources which enables the building to move to net zero energy. Our systems minimize operating and maintenance costs, while optimizing comfort and productivity. We achieve this while keeping within budgets and using time tested processes, equipment and systems.
BSC may be best defined by how we approach projects.
We look at the whole process of design, construction and whole life cycle operation.
We optimize all processes for the least life cycle operating cost and the maximum productivity.
Detailed documentation and quality control of every aspect are the hallmarks of BSC projects.
We begin every project by developing or double checking the Owner’s detailed Life Cycle Performance (LCP) requirements, an essential foundation for every successful project.
We are so convinced that detailed documentation is key to successful projects that we invented the Detailed Design Intent (DDI) document and the Sustainable Building Logbook (SBL).
Maintaining quality control through every aspect of a project is another BSC difference, including the preferred computer tools that can help reduce design and construction costs by up to 15%.
