Fifteen years ago, Global Facility Solutions was founded to provide objective energy and facility solutions to the commercial, industrial and government marketplaces. Today, we continue to make tailored recommendations to optimize facility performance and reduce operating costs. When President and CEO Robert K. Calloway established Global Facility Solutions in 2006, he sought to provide clients with unbiased solutions to issues concerning their buildings. Mr. Calloway has grown GFS from a one-person business to a multi-employee firm serving Fortune 500 companies and Federal and State Government agencies nationwide. Working with facilities spanning from coast to coast and from the shores of Aruba to Hawaii, the company has continued to grow and advance energy solutions for our clients through it all.

We have evolved alongside technological advances, enhanced industry standards, and best practices to develop and implement customized energy and facility management programs. GFS continues to deliver energy and engineering services, commissioning and award-winning retro-commissioning services, and engineering design services. Our ever-growing sustainability program assists commercial clients in the Mid-Atlantic region and across the country in implementing energy efficiency measures, adopting sustainability programs such as ENERGY STAR and LEED, and adhering to government benchmarking requirements.

We are grateful for all of our clients, business partners and certainly our GFS employees who have been part of this journey over the past 15 years. We look forward to sustaining those relationships and developing new partnerships in the years to come.

Facility Executive Magazine published an article by Global Facility Solutions Founder and President Robert K. Calloway which details the award-winning retro-commissioning success at 800 N. Brand in Glendale, CA. Energy Improvement Aims High appeared in the December 2020 issue. The piece highlighted the Retro-Commissioning project that was recognized as the “Overall Winner” in the 2020 inaugural “Retro Rumble” competition. The Energy Management Association (EMA) partnered with ENERGY STAR to host the competition “that recognizes commercial and public building energy efficiency success.”

“Originally constructed in 1990, this 21-story building is the former U.S. headquarters for the Nestlé Company. The retro-commissioning performed achieved an ENERGY STAR increase of 20 points over the comparison period. In February 2016, 800 North Brand received an ENERGY STAR score of 76. In February 2020, the property’s ENERGY STAR score increased to 96. The building’s EUI score dropped from 70 to 34.”
