Convergentz Transforms Houston’s Skyline with Smart Building Integration

Houston, TX – Convergentz, a leader in advanced building automation integration, is revolutionizing how building owners and developers maximize the potential of smart buildings. By integrating technologies that provide real-time data, Convergentz enables seamless automation of water, gas, and electricity usage, optimizing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs while increasing property value.

Several high-profile Houston projects showcase these capabilities, including the Bank of America Tower, George R. Brown Convention Center, Fulbright Tower, and Pennzoil Place. Through close collaboration with each client, Convergentz delivered customized solutions that provided immediate benefits and strong returns on investment.

  • At Fulbright Tower, a modernized building automation system has resulted in annual energy savings of up to $250,000.
  • At Pennzoil Place, Convergentz implemented its Connected Real Estate Model, upgrading the entire property and future-proofing its integrated systems for the next 30 years. This transformation positioned Pennzoil Place among Houston’s smartest buildings, leading to:
    • Recognition as one of Houston’s Top 5 Highest Commercial Appraisal Increases (2009-2015)
    • The “Most Intelligent Office Building” award by IBcon for reducing energy costs by more than 50%

 

“We have the ability to take an existing building with multiple management systems and integrate them through IP into a single operating system. This not only streamlines building operations but also enhances tenant appeal and property value. Pennzoil Place is a prime example of how we partner with our customers to help them achieve their goals and attract top tenants by providing state-of-the-art infrastructure.” — Kurt McCulloch, VP of Convergentz
