Building Controls & Automation
The cheapest energy is the energy your building stops wasting. DB Enterprises designs and services control systems that let equipment run only when and where it should — from a smart thermostat in a bungalow to DDC automation across a commercial building.
Building Automation (DDC)
Direct digital controls for RTUs, boilers, pumps, and ventilation — scheduled, sequenced, and remotely visible.
Smart Thermostats & Zoning
Residential and light-commercial smart controls with zoning that ends the upstairs-too-hot argument.
Sensors & Monitoring
Temperature, CO₂, humidity, and refrigeration alarms that text you before a walk-in failure becomes a write-off.
Control Retrofits
Modernize pneumatic or obsolete controls without replacing the mechanical equipment behind them.
Energy Optimization
Schedules, setbacks, and demand strategies tuned to how the building is actually used.
Remote Diagnostics
We see faults from the shop before rolling a truck — faster fixes, fewer site-visit charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DDC building automation?
Direct Digital Control (DDC) is a networked control system that runs your heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment on schedules and sensor feedback instead of manual switches — typically cutting energy waste 10-30% in buildings that never had proper controls.
Can you add controls to my existing HVAC equipment?
In most cases, yes. Control retrofits work with existing furnaces, RTUs, boilers, and refrigeration — you modernize the brains without replacing the mechanical systems.
Will monitoring alert me if my cooler or freezer fails?
Yes. Refrigeration monitoring sends alerts by text or email the moment temperatures drift out of range, which routinely saves thousands in product during a failure or door-left-open event.
