The Effectiveness of a BEMS at Reducing Energy Consumption - Mechanical

Who Will Benefit?: This seminar will be particularly useful for all Building Services Professionals, including end users, who expect their BEMS to provide significant energy savings.

Overview: Effective control of building services provides many opportunities for energy savings and can often involve little or no investment. This presentation outlines a number of steps which organisations can take to ensure that they get the maximum savings out of their Building Management Systems and turn it into a Building Energy Management System. These measures are broken down into Zero Cost (or spend), minimal investment and longer term solutions.

Course Details: Many non-domestic buildings today have some form of electronic controls or building management systems, but a large number of these systems are somewhat neglected and have not evolved with the inevitable changes of use in the buildings they control. As a consequence the BMS can be seen as an ineffective tool in the fight to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

By making some simple, cost effective changes it is possible to turn this situation around quickly and immediately begin to realise significant savings from your BEMS.

The Course Includes

• A number of simple, zero cost measures for reducing your energy consumption
• Medium term options to invest in energy savings technologies and activities
• The importance of supporting your BEMS correctly
• A look at more advanced energy services

Building on your BMS - Mechanical

Who will Benefit: This seminar will be particularly beneficial for anyone likely to be involved in the planning or maintenance of BMS networks, whether an End User, M&E Consultants or Graduates.

Overview: The BMS Industry is evolving and converging with the IT world on technologies and networks. This presentation explains the various local and wide area networks commonly used for BMS communications.

Course Details: Ever changing demands upon usage and scale of operation means that today's buildings need to be increasingly flexible to meet customer requirements. Owners and tenants alike also need vital data which enables them to control and monitor their building and manage running costs, whilst at the same time providing a suitable working environment for those within.

To facilitate this complex flow of information and data, the BMS industry is evolving and converging with the IT world. This presentation provides a guide to networking best practice for Building Management Systems, and how to ensure the correct application of the various components and topologies incorporated.

The Course Includes

• An overview of the alternative networks to be considered
• Proprietary LAN and Internetwork
• PSTN using Modems
• IT technology using Ethernet and TCP/IP, Gateways, Routers & Firewalls
• Third part interfacing

Knowledge of the alternative network technologies will greatly assist the understanding or choice of existing or proposed networks.

BMS Systems Simplified - Mechanical

Who will Benefit: This seminar will be particularly useful for anyone requiring an introduction to BMS, whether an End User, Mechanical Contractor or indeed Graduates.

Overview: An introductory insight into the world of Building Management Systems (BMS). This will explain the jargon and expose the myths - leaving you in a better position to understand and to translate your requirements into a system that will fulfill your criteria.

Course Details: Buildings are subjected to changeable and at times extreme weather conditions. Providing owners and occupiers with the satisfactory data that enables them to control and monitor their building, whilst at the same time providing a suitable working environment for those within, becomes a difficult requirement to fulfil.

Building Management Systems monitor and control services such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, ensuring they operate at maximum levels of efficiency and economy. This is achieved by maintaining the optimum balance between conditions, energy usage and operating requirements.

This presentation explains the 4 key elements that make up the system - how they interact and what is required to maximise their efficiency. It explores the basic principles of networks and how they operate, and also considers the ancillary devices that are required to complete the system.

Complete Control with BMS - Mechanical

Who will Benefit: This seminar will be particularly beneficial for M&E Consultants or indeed anyone requiring a more in-depth understanding of the huge potential of BMS control.

Overview: This presentation explains how BMS controls can provide the solution for any number of specific customer requirements - from standard HVAC plant to much wider applications such as lighting.

Course Details: In order to gain the maximum benefit from a BMS system, you need to understand what it is capable of delivering. Whether this is energy saving, lighting control or indeed a complete system wide control strategy, you can rest assured that the BMS will deliver the best solution for your specific requirements.

The Course Includes

• How a properly configured BMS can provide complete system control
• Typical BMS applications
• Alternative methods to access data from a BMS
• Adjusting the operating parameters within devices
• System engineering of control strategies at fixed and mobile locations using LANs and WANs
