Controls Design Engineering (CDE)

The CDE team provides Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power
Monitoring System (EPMS) design coordination globally.

The team’s goal is to deliver consistent standards for data center controls
systems, as well as overall mechanical and electrical design practices. Due to
the critical nature and complexity of designing, installing, and maintaining a
BMS/EPMS, the CDE team is the primary owner of the associated specification,
points list, Basis of Design and scope documents within a large infrastructure
engineering team.

The CDE team is a single point of contact for multiple internal and external
customers, uniting the efforts associated with:
- New construction builds
- Legacy site enhancement projects
- Data center service projects

In a continual effort to enhance the controls systems, the CDE team collaborates
through design review, drives consistent standards, and collects feedback data
to arrive at unified documented solutions. Due to the efforts of maintaining,
updating, and distributing BMS/EPMS standards, the CDE engineer will drive
significant reductions in change order expense, scope gaps between contractors,
construction schedule delays, single-sourced vendor pricing, and reduced vendor
project management and engineering labor costs.
