To keep its mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems maintained and operating in a reliable, productive, and cost-efficient manner.

HVAC & BUILDING COMMISSIONING SOLUTIONS

After construction, Fluidics' staff of six building engineers and four maintenance technicians helped transition the Center, which includes the historic Academy of Music, to full operation. The company also assisted in building commissioning the facility's intricate high-tech HVAC and electrical systems.

The firm was also awarded a "full maintenance" parts and labor contract on all HVAC equipment, including both the Center's state-of- the-art systems and the Academy of Music's mix of vintage and retrofitted systems.
