As the constraints on commercial buildings are continuing to impose greater
challenges and ever increasing demands on their services, the importance of
specialist hvac control systems and bms’ advice cannot be over emphasised.
Technological advancements in recent years have resulted in the availability of
more complex and variety of bms’ as compared to the early 80’s when the
systems were ‘bulky’ and could only be sourced from a limited number of the
major control system manufacturers.
Independent specialist controls assistance on a project will help by ensuring that
the control system is properly designed and tested to ensure that the design
criteria is actually delivered on the completed building which has many benefits.
Adopting this approach will ensure that the demands placed on mechanical and
electrical services are realised as the bms and control system will actually operate
as designed. Not only will the bms prove to be an efficient way of controlling the
building’s hvac plants and monitoring its associated systems, but will also be an
invaluable tool for the building manager to utilise when monitoring the
performance of the controlled building.
