Take back control to achieve sustainable energy savings

1. AUE Conference University of Edinburgh September 2011 Take back control to achieve sustainable energy savings Mark Glitherow Key Account Manager

2. Energy Cost of energy is rising at an alarming rate! Overconsumption may be contributing to climate change? Energy is at a premium!

3. Energy Identify and implement all viable energy reducing solutions to create the optimal balance between environmental conditions and energy usage.

4. Energy Architects Dream Consultants Specification Contractors Interpretation Controls Implementation

5. Building lifecycle – Post occupancy

6. Building lifecycle – post occupancy • Insufficient knowledge of system • Inappropriate maintenance • Sensor calibration drift, control out of tune • Change of use • Operational adjustments to time and temp. • Mechanical failures

7. Energy performance time What happens to a buildings energy performance? Building lifecycle – post occupancy

8. Q. Why invest in the ongoing maintenance of a BEMS? Business critical equipment Maintain working environment Statutory compliance Energy efficiency Building lifecycle – post occupancy A. It will undoubtedly cost more in the long term not to!

9. Prescribe the service • Standard specification • Routine maintenance and repair • Opportunity to challenge the “norm”?

10. Consider the desired outcome 46 DegC 400 Lux 22 DegC -8% Energy Consumption Compliant

11. 84% of Carbon Emissions • Heating • Lighting • Cooling and ventilation • Hot water The energy reduction potential of BEMS

12. The energy reduction potential of BEMS

13. The energy reduction potential of BEMS Typically, a BEMS installation: • Controls up to 84% of energy consumption • Can deliver over 70% of your total energy reduction potential • Costs <1% of total build cost

14. Managing energy and CO2 emissions is a business imperative Up to 84% of energy usage can be controlled by a BeMS BEMS can deliver over 70% of your total energy reduction potential The fastest route to sustainable energy savings is to review and optimise the performance of the BeMS The energy reduction potential of BEMS • Reduction in energy cost • Improvements in occupancy comfort • Compliance with the Law and regulations • Reduction in CO2 • Operational reliability • Employee motivation • Customer loyalty

15. The energy reduction potential of BEMS The fastest route to sustainable energy savings is to review and optimise the performance of the BEMS Review Monitor A Sustainable process of continuous improvement Demonstrate Act

16. Review Review The fastest route to sustainable energy savings is to review and optimise the performance of the BeMS • What you need to know: • Current situation • Opportunities • Size of the opportunities • Priorities • Investment required • How these fit with your objectives Review

17. Review Review In-depth review of existing BeMS installation Significantly reduce energy consumption/waste Reduce your carbon footprint Improve the operational efficiency through accurate control and increased reliability Review

18. 1 Obtain site information 2 On-site survey – performed by Energy Engineer 3 5 Report creation Implementation Formal presentation to client 4 Review

19. Review Overall Annual savings 80K Total Investment of 50K Payback in 7.5 months 12.5% reduction in energy consumption

20. Monitor Monitor The fastest route to sustainable energy savings is to review and optimise the performance of the BeMS Monitor • See the Big Picture • Understand energy consumption • Build profiles • Identify & target irregular usage • Monitor & verify improvements • Demonstrate compliance with targets • Develop your action plan

21. Monitor Monitor Cost effective, web based & easy to use • Identifies energy waste • Displays any point recorded in the BEMS • Able to import any data relevant to your organisation • Data export • Your asset working for you Monitor

22. Act Act The fastest route to sustainable energy savings is to review and optimise the performance of the BeMS • Implementing your action plan • Take back control • Enhance building performance • Focus resource • Energy projects • Police improvements Act

23. Act Act Police the System Visible evidence of system performance • Simple traffic light system • Identifies system problems before failure occurs • Focuses maintenance resources • Identifies further areas for improvement Loop Performance Details for LAN 1 O/S 16 LOOP 2 Ahu 09-002 Htg Loop £1,900 annual energy overconsumption Act

24. Demonstrate Demonstrate The fastest route to sustainable energy savings is to review and optimise the performance of the BeMS • Demonstrate performance • Stake-holder buy-in • Change behaviours • Public Image • Commitment for future investment Demonstrate

25. Demonstrate Demonstrate Energy performance data made visible Aimed at an organisations visitors, stakeholders and customers Energy display screen Configurable to display your own messages, corporate videos, etc. Case studies. Helps motivate employees to co-operate in energy saving initiatives Builds upon existing BeMS installation Demonstrate

26. Energy performance time What happens to a building’s energy performance? Building lifecycle post-occupancy Building Lifecycle-Post Occupancy Carbon reduction Energy waste down

27. The BEMS – What are the benefits? • Satisfy business imperatives • Sustainable energy savings • Optimal environmental conditions • Continuity of building services • Quickly highlights problems to the right people • Energy monitoring & management
