Driving energy savings

A BEMS offers visibility and control of energy use, and a fully integrated solution can have up to 84% of a building’s energy consuming devices directly under its control.

Andrew Bilbrough, service manager, says: "We operate a comprehensive service level agreement (SLA) to make sure that the BEMS is correctly maintained, while providing those on-site with comfortable working environments. As part of the SLA we run a condition-based maintenance regime, as well as implementing quick win control strategy modifications for the BEMS using existing hardware. Throughout the period 2008 to 2012, we were able to demonstrate significant savings by putting energy at the core of our maintenance activities. This resulted in carbon savings equivalent to the production and delivery of 50 of the highest spec Land Rover Discovery vehicles."
