Known worldwide as a premier tourist destination, the City of Miami Beach has evolved into a thriving hub for technology, innovation, and sustainability. Founded in 1915 and celebrating over a century of growth, the city has embraced modern infrastructure to support its expanding population, business landscape, and environmental goals.

Scope of Work

Scope: City-wide Building Management System (BMS) implementation across 12 buildings using a unified Tridium-based platform.

  • Repurposed existing infrastructure to avoid full system replacements
  • Implemented new control strategies to reduce energy consumption and optimize operations
  • Delivered a smooth transition with minimal disruption to building occupants

Results & Benefits

  • Uninterrupted Operations: Seamless transition with near-zero downtime across all facilities
  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Demand-controlled ventilation and strategic repurposing lowered energy usage
  • Long-Term Value: Immediate cost savings, ongoing system reliability, and over 15 years of continuous service and support

Mission Success

This project demonstrates Roth Southeast’s ability to modernize and streamline complex government infrastructure while maximizing existing assets. The centralized BMS enables the City of Miami Beach to monitor, schedule, and manage building performance citywide – improving efficiency, minimizing costs, and laying the foundation for scalable growth.
