VT Controls Delivering Results Through Tailored Automation Solutions
VTC has a proven track record of success, having executed numerous projects across a wide range of sectors, including industrial, commercial, institutional, and educational. We partner with clients to deliver tailored solutions that drive operational improvements
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
Delivered multiple Building Automation System (BAS) upgrades across 43 HWCDSB schools, improving energy efficiency, system reliability, and centralized control capabilities. Work involved replacing outdated controls with modern BAS, integrating HVAC equipment, and developing user-friendly interfaces for the facilities team. These projects supported the school board’s goal of optimizing energy use while maintaining a comfortable learning environment.
Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB)
Installed and commissioned a complete BAS solution, including Direct Digital Controls (DDC), sensors, controls wiring, and convector/AHU valves. Work included the removal of old pneumatic systems, third-party fire alarm verification, and development of detailed system graphics and as-built documentation. The upgrades provided modernized climate control, increased operational reliability, and enhanced system monitoring.
Ridley CollegeGOVERNMENT & INSTITUTIONAL
Upgraded BAS and controls wiring across 20 interconnected buildings housing nearly 300 HVAC systems. VT Controls deployed over 320 Distech controllers to integrate HVAC, fire alarms, gas meters, and generators via a dedicated BMS network using BACnet and Meraki switches. The solution improved operational efficiency, increased system compatibility, and provided a unified control interface.
Maplehurst Correctional Complex
Provided full BAS installation and commissioning, including DDC, sensors, controls wiring, VAV/FPB valves, and AHU valves. Project scope included demolition of old pneumatic systems, drywall patching, fire alarm compliance verification, and creation of as-built records. The result was a fully integrated BAS that improved building performance and streamlined system management.
Toronto Police HeadquartersCOMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL
Installed advanced sub-metering systems for electricity, water, and gas in 25 retail units across Toronto. The project integrated various meter types into a centralized monitoring and reporting platform with secure VPN access. This resulted in 99.9% uptime, a 95% reduction in billing discrepancies, and a 15% drop in overall energy use.
Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) – Commercial Sub-Metering
Implemented an IoT-enabled remote access solution for real-time monitoring and control of building systems across multiple properties. The platform enables proactive issue resolution, performance optimization, and improved tenant comfort from any location. This approach enhances operational efficiency while reducing on-site maintenance requirements.
Park Property Management – Remote Monitoring & ControlHEALTHCARE
Enhanced the existing BAS by adding Johnson FX field controllers, replacing multiple control valves, and upgrading perimeter heating systems. The work improved patient comfort and HVAC efficiency while maintaining strict infection control measures. The upgraded system increased reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and provided more precise temperature control.
Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation CentreINDUSTRIAL
Designed and implemented a state-of-the-art Industrial Automation System for GH Power’s hydrogen gas-based renewable energy facility. The solution included reactor management integration, advanced safety protocols, and a modular architecture for scalability. Phase 3 introduced machine learning, a digital twin for predictive modeling, and augmented reality maintenance tools. The system achieved 99.8% reliability, reduced response time by 35%, is projected to improve plant efficiency by 15%, and supports predictive maintenance to prevent unplanned downtime.
GH Power – Hydrogen-Based Energy Generation Facility (Phases 1, 2 & 3)
VT Controls designed, supplied, installed, and commissioned new Building Automation Systems (BAS) for 30 elementary and adult learning centers across the Niagara region. The project integrated over 800 HVAC systems, including boilers, furnaces, perimeter heaters, AHUs, and unit ventilators, using Johnson Controls technology. A centralized FX server with custom graphics and scheduling enabled optimized energy management, resulting in improved efficiency and ease of facility management.
