With over 90% of all Buildings without a BMS there is a great opportunity to save energy by improving the control of HVAC systems.
Building Management Systems (BMS) have long been recognised as essential tools for optimising energy consumption, improving efficiency, and enhancing the overall performance of commercial buildings.
However, traditional BMS solutions were primarily designed for large-scale buildings, leaving small sized buildings with limited options for efficient building management
Its often difficult for any type of smaller building whether a small hotel, care home or office to afford the often high cost of installing a BMS or energy efficient control system, and therefore often have to rely on often basic on/off control and simple thermostats.
The Need for BMS in Small Buildings
The energy consumption of small buildings accounts for a substantial portion of the overall energy demand. Studies have shown that less than 10% of small buildings have implemented BMS, leading to unnecessary energy waste of up to 25%.
These high-costs of these aforementioned BMS control systems are often associated with brands such as Trend, Cylon, Tridium, Johnson and other similar systems use hard wiring to sensors, valves and need expensive control panels etc, which is why they become unaffordable.
Low-Cost Small Business Building Management system
Opportunities exists to install substantially lower cost wireless sensors and controls that are controlling the HVAC equipment based on room or area occupancy and changing weather conditions can substantially reduce energy.
Even if your heating bill is below £2,000 annually, you could still be enjoying a payback of less than three years, even sooner if the cost of energy goes up further.
Restaurant chains want to monitor energy consumption online for all connected restaurants to buy energy for the lowest possible price. They also want to monitor equipment to avoid machine failures and business stoppage.
Retail stores think to monitor comfort to create a suitable environment for greater shopper experience.
Small hotels and car homes might want to bring great customer experience by delivering the right temperature to the room but save energy as well. Without better control, there is always a problem with comfort in small hotels where it is either too warm or too cold.
