Copper Point Resort in Invermere. As British Columbia’s tourism sector evolves, HVAC and automation are pivotal in creating and renovating efficient and safe spaces.

How Building Automation and HVAC Services Help Tourism Businesses in BC

Everyone knows that temperate, efficient spaces are increasingly important in today’s world. Investing in building automation and HVAC services can reduce energy costs, improve guest experience, and support long-term business growth for wineries, breweries, resorts, and other businesses. 

Copper Point Resort is more than just a beautiful place to stay, it’s a well-run, well-maintained operation backed by committed professionals.

Spotlight: Copper Point Resort

Located in the heart of the Columbia Valley, Copper Point Resort in Invermere, BC, has become a landmark destination for golf getaways, family retreats, and year-round relaxation. Behind the comfort and luxury guests experience is a team of dedicated professionals who have worked tirelessly to ensure the facility operates to the highest standards, and Kimco Controls is proud to be part of that team.

Originally brought into the project during its continuation phase, Kimco joined a collaborative group of contractors and developers committed to delivering a high-performing resort experience. At the time, the property had already undergone work from multiple trades, and our role was to assess the existing infrastructure and help integrate it into a reliable, long-term building automation solution.

Kimco’s Involvement

Working within the constraints of existing wiring and devices, our team focused on value-driven engineering, ensuring cost efficiency without compromising on performance or reliability. Since 2009, we’ve remained a trusted partner, providing ongoing technical support, optimization, and system enhancements as the resort’s needs evolved. Most recently, we’ve worked closely with Nate Loucks, the resort’s new Head of Maintenance, to address legacy installation issues, improve energy management strategies, and align the building’s controls with modern expectations. Copper Point is a well-run, well-maintained operation, and we’re proud to support their team in delivering exceptional hospitality.

Smart Building Automation for Wineries, Breweries, and Resorts

With the ability to integrate all building systems into a simplified Direct Digital Control (DDC) platform, businesses can reap the benefits of centrally controlling HVAC, geothermal, lighting, electrical, and security systems.

We can design scalable systems tailored to your unique needs if you are considering industrial HVAC service for a winery, commercial HVAC controls for a hotel, or modernization of your current property.

Benefits include:

• Reduced utility bills with smart building energy management systems
• Consistent indoor climate control for tasting rooms and guest suites
