Evangel University

Control Service Company worked with Evangel University to deliver a campus-wide building automation approach that brings multiple HVAC systems under a single, easy-to-use platform. The most recent project—the Valor Center, Evangel’s new athletics complex—includes a state-of-the-art basketball and volleyball arena, stadium seating, press areas, weightlifting facilities, locker rooms, coaches’ offices, and academic support spaces. The building consolidates the entire athletics department under one roof, requiring a control solution capable of managing diverse environments efficiently and intuitively.

CSC worked with Gold Mechanical, supporting the owner’s long-term plan to standardize HVAC controls across campus and create a unified system that supports visibility, reliability, and ease of use for the facilities team.

The Valor Center required integration of two major equipment types:
• LG VRF systems conditioning the majority of offices, training areas, and smaller spaces
• AAON rooftop units and DOAS (Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems) serving larger zones such as the arena floor, entry areas, and main gathering spaces
CSC deployed Automated Logic WebCTRL, enabling Evangel to monitor and manage both equipment families from one centralized interface. The AAON equipment is operated through full control and BACnet MS/TP integration, while the LG VRF system is integrated via BACnet over IP across the university’s IT network. This hybrid integration gives Evangel’s facility staff total visibility without requiring them to toggle between different vendor systems.
Evangel also uses CSC-installed power monitoring on each building, allowing facilities leadership to track electrical usage and generate ongoing reporting across campus—a standard CSC delivers on every project for the university.

As a new construction project, the primary challenge was timing. Critical spaces—particularly the gymnasium—required precise temperature and humidity control long before the building was fully ready for commissioning. Gymnasium flooring, for example, requires that conditions fall within exact tolerances.
CSC ensured equipment could be safely brought online even when:
• Network connectivity was not yet established
• Portions of the building lacked permanent power
• Walls and finishes were incomplete, limiting when wiring could be installed
Through proactive planning and temporary configuration strategies, CSC kept the project moving without sacrificing long-term system integrity.

Automated Logic WebCTRL was selected for its ability to:
• Bring multiple equipment types onto a single user interface
• Provide technicians and facility staff real-time access to the same powerful tools
• Display programming transparently for advanced customers
• Scale easily as Evangel expands or renovates buildings across campus
For Evangel, WebCTRL has become the preferred front end because it is intuitive, open in structure, and capable of integrating legacy equipment through standardized protocols like BACnet.

Outcomes & Benefits
With CSC’s controls in place, Evangel University now benefits from:
• Unified environmental control across VRF and rooftop systems
• Energy efficiency through schedules, setbacks, and centralized programming
• Improved user experience for the facility team, who can view all HVAC systems campus-wide from one platform
• Streamlined troubleshooting, now supported through secure remote access for CSC technicians
• Long-term scalability, ensuring future buildings or retrofits can be added easily

Evangel continues to select CSC for new and ongoing projects across campus—including dormitories, learning centers, and additional athletic facilities—demonstrating their trust in CSC’s expertise and support.
A recent on-campus issue highlighted CSC’s service commitment: during a packed evening event, facility staff reported high temperatures in the arena. CSC immediately responded onsite, diagnosing a user scheduling error and restoring comfort quickly.
