Building owners, contractors, and engineers deserve truly open controls solutions without the headaches. Varitec partners with Southwest engineers, contractors, and building owners to simplify automation and service without locking customers into “Vendor Jail.”
We install, service and optimize open-serviceable, reliable, and future-ready building automation solutions that keep facilities running smoothly while driving energy savings.
We champion open systems with Siemens, Niagara, and KODE Labs so you’re never locked in and always in control.
Our Culture of TAO (Teamwork, Accountability, Ownership) means you don’t just get a contractor but a partner who takes pride in your project.
We demystify cloud vs. remote BAS, guiding facility managers to adopt scalable, secure solutions that fit their needs for years to come with Open+.
Beyond installation, we deliver continual commissioning, energy monitoring, functional testing, and fault detection with our Open+ Powered by KODE OS platform to keep your building optimized year after year.
From 1GPA and OMNIA contracts to TUSD energy projects, we simplify procurement for schools, universities, and government entities.
With Varitec, you get the best of both worlds with our mechanical equipment team’s expertise and controls contracting, all aligned under one roof. That means fewer vendors to manage, and a seamless path from equipment to automation to service.
Our approach to controls goes beyond individual components and systems. OPEN+ brings equipment, automation, analytics, and ongoing service together in one open platform—giving building owners greater visibility, flexibility, and control.
Independent.
Vendor-agnostic.
Above the system.
Open+ is not tied to a single manufacturer, controller, or front end.
It sits above your building systems as an independent data layer working with what you already have and adapting as your building evolves.
What “Open” deliversOne foundation.
Many capabilities.
Open+ isn’t a point solution or bolt-on tool.
It’s a unified platform where command & control, analytics, testing, diagnostics, and energy management live together without stacking multiple products.
What “Platform” deliversFast to integrate.
Simple to Scale.
“Easy” means reduced friction. Open+ connects quickly through APIs and pre-built integrations, minimizing deployment time and disruption.
What “Easy” deliversClarity over
Complexity
Navigation isn’t just UI, it’s how quickly someone can understand what’s happening and what to do next.
Open+ organizes data so teams don’t hunt for answers.
What “Navigation” deliversSequences are getting more complex, proprietary vendors lock in control of your systems, and too much data without ability to act makes business worse and makes every role work harder. Open+ Powered by KODE OS tackles today and tomorrow’s challenges by bringing all building systems into one platform with the tools to tackle real challenges with managing buildings.
