Westco BAS – Parker Station (Parker, CO)

Automation retrofit for improved comfort and energy efficiency

The Challenge

Parker Station needed more than a standard HVAC upgrade. The 30-year-old DDC system was:

• Inefficient and difficult to service
• Prone to inconsistent performance
• Lacking modern monitoring capabilities
• Approaching end-of-life across more than 110 fan-powered VAV boxes

Property management wanted:

• Modern BACnet-based HVAC controls
• Minimal disruption to building operations
• Remote monitoring to reduce technician callouts
• A scalable path for a full-building retrofit (Phase 2)

The Strato Solution | Phase 1

Westco Systems chose Strato Automation to launch the first phase of the modernization, delivering:

• Open BACnet controllers retrofitting the existing VVT unit
• Integration of upgraded rooftop units
• Improved visibility and analytics through modern BAS integration
• Smart zone sensors and thermostats enhancing local comfort and control

This initial deployment creates the foundation for replacing 110 additional VAV boxes in Phase 2, with minimal tenant disruption.

The Impact

The result? More efficient operations, improved comfort, and a smoother path to full modernization — all powered by a flexible, scalable Strato platform.

“Strato’s open BACnet platform made modernizing Parker Station simple — seamless integration, modern controls, and minimal disruption to tenants and building operations.”
— Todd Lee, Automation Engineer
