Athena has kept the building automation running at the Riverside County juvenile courthouse for over a decade. We installed the original Schneider/TAC control system, built it out as the facility grew, and have maintained it ever since as part of our ongoing BAS service for the Riverside Superior Courts.
Ten+ years is a long life for control hardware. The original platform eventually reached end-of-life: the manufacturer discontinued it, and supported replacements dried up. When a critical controller finally failed, a decade of maintaining the system paid off — we knew it inside out and stepped in right away, moving the front end onto current Schneider EcoStruxure hardware without an interruption anyone in the building would have felt.
From there, the emergency became a plan. We’re migrating the site onto EcoStruxure Building Operation over BACnet/IP, a current and open platform with a clear path forward, starting with the air-handling controls and working through the rest of the system on a phased, budget-aware schedule. The courts maintain their facilities well; when something does eventually fail, having the same team for twenty years turns a scramble into a sequence.
Client: Superior Court of California, County of Riverside. Controls platform: Schneider Electric EcoStruxure / EcoStruxure Building Operation.
