Charles Wales,
CBCP

Building systems only deliver value when they actually perform. Chuck is known for helping healthcare and complex facilities unlock the full potential of their mechanical and control systems, improving reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance. 

Chuck brings more than 30 years of hands-on experience across controls, HVAC, central plants, and building automation systems. His background as a contractor, operator, controls engineer, and commissioning authority gives him a practical, whole-systems perspective that helps project teams identify what truly works in the field. He specializes in optimizing building automation systems, advanced DDC strategies, and commissioning approaches that support decarbonization, resilience, and compliance in mission-critical healthcare environments. A frequent presenter on smarter controls and high-performance systems, Chuck helps shape industry understanding of how commissioning and controls drive measurable energy and operational outcomes. 

Chuck’s work supports Mazzetti’s benefit mission by improving building performance at scale, reducing energy use and emissions while helping healthcare facilities operate more reliably and sustainably as they bend the climate curve. Through his expertise in controls, HVAC, central plants, and building automation systems, Chuck implements solutions that not only optimize facility operations but also address broader environmental goals. His approach ensures that healthcare buildings meet rigorous standards for decarbonization, resilience, and compliance, directly contributing to lower operational costs and enhanced patient safety.
