Baseline’s Advantages

Baseline works solely as the customer’s agent, so there is never any doubt about whose interests Baseline is serving. Baseline does not manufacture or sell equipment of any kind, or represent the equipment and services of any other company, or directly provide installation contracting services. This means Baseline is able to develop the best possible facility design, facility construction, and facility operating solutions for our customers based on completely unbiased assessments of all available building design, equipment, and construction options. Baseline is paid directly by our customers on a negotiated fee basis for all services rendered. We are not owned by an equipment manufacturer, a contractor, or any other third party.

Baseline principals have years of international experience in HVAC, control system, and refrigeration system design and facility management on both the customer and vendor sides. Baseline knows where the cost savings opportunities and challenges for our customers are and how to deal successfully with both. Baseline takes the best facility design and management technologies and techniques from around the world and adapts them to create unique solutions that precisely meet our individual customer’s specific requirements. Baseline’s principals and engineers have designed and implemented cost-effective HVAC and refrigeration systems, control systems, and energy/maintenance management and expense reduction programs for major retail and commercial customers in the USA, Asia Pacific, and the UK. Baseline’s services and solutions are always creative, fact-based, environmentally sensitive, and technology-centered
