BMS - Building Management Controls - Dynamic WEB Energy Management
As much as 84% of your building’s energy consumption could be under the control of a Building Energy Management System (BEMS). But are you in control of your BEMS?
The installation of a Trend Building Energy Management System has proved a highly cost effective way for end users to cut their energy consumption – frequently making savings of more than 25%. With Trend you can significantly reduce the energy consumed within your building, using an asset that you probably already own.
In order to identify what can be achieved, it is important to understand the current situation within a building. A Trend Energy Audit reviews the way the building is being used and identifies opportunities where changes to the BEMS will deliver energy savings. These changes can often be undertaken during the audit, delivering immediate savings.
The outcome of any energy reduction programme needs to be measured and monitored to ensure that savings are maintained.
Trend Energy Manager is a web based application that helps building owners identify and understand what is really happening to their energy consumption. Using Trend Energy Manager, a site can be monitored remotely to measure and record the savings achieved. It also provides notification when energy usage exceeds the expected demand.
Trend IQ EYE is a web based application that remotely interacts with the Trend BEMS to highlight potential system problems and to identify performance issues before equipment failure or energy wastage occurs. IQ EYE is available as part of a service agreement with Trend and our Partners.
Trend EnergyEYE is a software application that provides a dynamic view of a buildings energy performance. Trend EnergyEYE can display any metered value that has been logged in the Trend BEMS. This will allow building occupants and visitors to see an organisations commitment to improving the management of energy and its performance against targets.
Trend customers can choose the company that supplies and maintains their BEMS system from an approved network of specialist building controls companies. These experienced systems integrators deliver wide ranging expertise and offer comprehensive services including electrical installation, control panel fabrication and system configuration.
A recent example of where significant energy savings have been realised include:
Bridgewater Place (excerpt from case study): A recent survey of the Trend Building Energy Management System and the plant it controls at Bridgewater Place, Leeds, is expected to lead to significant energy savings in what is Yorkshire’s tallest building. The audit was conducted by Trend at the request of the site’s property managers Jones Lang LaSalle and involved close collaboration with the building’s M&E maintenance provider Norland Managed Services. The £3,500 cost of carrying it out was recouped in a matter of weeks as a result of system changes made during the audit itself. The latter also identified a further £35,700/yr of savings that could be achieved through additional investment in the BEMS, which is now going ahead.
