The Albany County Courthouse was built in 1934. The exterior is native sand stone which was mined from a near by quarry. This same quarry produced the stone used for many of the University of Wyoming buildings.

LONG was hired as a design build construction manager and self executed the BAS system. The building's interior was renovated extensively while the exterior of the courthouse had to be maintained as much as possible since it was on the historical register. Following are some of the major renovations that were performed by LONG and our team of subcontractors.

• The fourth floor jail had been abandoned in the early sixties and was used as a storage space. The jail was demolished and the Circuit Court was relocated to this space.
• The County Commissioner's office was relocated from the second to the first floor as well as the County Attorney's Offices.
• A new exit stairway had to be constructed on the west side of the building to meet building codes. The stairway façade matched the original 1934 block.
• A new landing, an extension of the main stairwell was added to accommodate the new fourth floor offices and court room.
• New plumbing and fixtures were installed through out the building.
• A new electrical system was installed with energy efficient T-8 lighting throughout the building.
• A new local area network was installed with data ports in every office.
• The steam system was replaced with a new hot water 4 pipe fan coil system.
• A chilled water system was installed to provide mechanical cooling.
• A heat recovery fan system was installed. Transferring the heat from the exhaust air to the ventilation air provided an efficient way of supplying ventilating air to the building.
• A new direct digital control system was installed to control the mechanical system and space temperatures. The system is web - based and can be monitored from any LAN computer with a web browser.
• Life safety systems were revamped, including a new fire alarm and building sprinklers.
• New low E glass thermal windows replaced single pane bi-fold windows. Not only did this upgrade improve shading coefficients, it vastly improved the building envelope.

When you are driving by the courthouse the exterior looks the same except for the new windows. Inside the building has been transformed into a 21st century building. The building has been upgraded to provide services to the citizens of Albany County for another seventy years.

The Colorado School of Mines campus has 28 campus buildings under DDC control with a variety of HVAC and control manufacturer integrations providing the user with the ability to seamlessly browse the mechanical systems. Most buildings had existing Steafa Smart II Legacy controls and were integrated into the Supervisor.

The General Research Lab Building

• Invensys Intelligent Automation
• BACnet integration to a RAE Process Chiller
• LON integration to a ABB VFD
• The Ben Parker Student Center
• Invensys Intelligent Automation
• LON to Johnson Controls Integration
• Staefa Integration

• LON to Johnson Controls Integration

• LON to Honeywell Integration

• Modbus to Siemens Electric Power Meter
• LON Integration to Douglas Lighting Panel

The facilities department has set up the department heads to control the energy usage in their own building and share in the savings. The user only needs a web browser to change schedules and set points and monitor energy usage. The department heads can be in control from anywhere in the world. The Niagara platform allowed the University to preserve its original investment in the Staefa Legacy system while at the same time providing open systems for competitive bidding on future projects.

This 90-acre higher education campus has 24 buildings under DDC control. Most buildings contain legacy Invensys/Robertshaw DDC controls that have been integrated into the Niagara Web-based Supervisor with communications over the Campus Ethernet LAN. Web-based controls in some buildings have been integrated directly to mechanical equipment through a communications driver.

Examples are:

• Modbus integration to Moore combustion controllers on 3 dual-fuel high temperature hot water boilers.

• LonTalk integration to Douglas Lighting system providing occupancy status and scheduling and occupant after hours over-ride.
• LonTalk integration to Square D building electrical meter.
• LonTalk integration to 130 Invensys I/A DDC controllers.

• Legacy integration to Invensys/Robertshaw DDC control systems with Web-based communications across the Campus Ethernet LAN.

This two-story office building serves as the headquarters for a national non-profit ministry. The HVAC system in the building consists of 2 McQuay rooftop units with factory installed MicroTech II controls and factory installed LonTalk communication interface boards that communicate directly to the Web-based Niagara Supervisor. The McQuay units feature a gas heating section, air-side economizer dampers and DX refrigeration. The 2 McQuay rooftop units supply air into a common duct system serving multiple VAV boxes with perimeter reheat capabilities.

The Web-based control system integrates to:

• Two McQuay rooftop units with Microtech II controls and a LonTalk interface.
• Variable air volume terminal boxes with Invensys I/A LonTalk DDC controllers.

El Paso County has numerous buildings with several different legacy DDC control systems installed in them. Several new construction projects within the County have used the Invensys Web-based control system for integration to:

• Web-based access to graphical real time data across the County WAN/LAN.
• LonTalk integration to Invensys I/A DDC controllers maintaining the critical HVAC environment for the County's I.T. data facility.

• Web-based access to graphical real time data across the County WAN/LAN.
• LonTalk integration to LonTalk DDC controllers in Lennox HVAC units.
• LonTalk integration to Invensys I/A DDC controllers and mechanical equipment in other parts of the building.

• 1905 bed facility serving El Paso County and the surrounding area.
• Web-based access to graphical real time data across the County WAN/LAN.
• LonTalk integration to Invensys I/A DDC controllers and mechanical equipment in the building.
• Modbus integration to facility emergency electrical generator.
