Education Building Management System

We were asked to install a remote control and monitoring system to a large multiple site on a Further Education estate in East London. The site consisted of several remote buildings, each with its own control system and mechanical components already installed.

We already offered maintenance and call-out facilities to the BMS for each of their premises. However the Trust needed to integrate their BMS at each site to one central monitoring station to improve their control over energy use and the buildings’ environments.

As with all of our services we began with an in-depth survey of each of the control systems in each building to identify what action needed to be taken and make recommendations.

We discovered that some of the sites needed be updated, so we installed a new Trend BMS to the relevant buildings and upgraded others to allow the existing systems to be connected using the clients Ethernet network.

Each site had improved graphics installed to the supervisor PC to allow users to check the plant at each location more easily to ensure that they were operating correctly and efficiently.

These smart controls then allowed for monitoring from a central, remote location. This ensured that all sites will continue to operate efficiently to make them as cost effective as possible and maintain a comfortable environment for the students and staff within each building.

• Convenient monitoring and control through a central point
• Control through remote PC using simple easy-to-use software
• Maintenance and call-out contracts for peace of mind
