- Install three dedicated MCPs and a central Human Machine Interface (HMI) to display all the controlled systems
- The BMS installation included the refurbished controls and monitors for the hot water plant (boilers, primary pumps, secondary pumps and heat exchangers)
- The cold-water plant included the chillers, primary and secondary pumps, air handling units, fan coil units, extractor fans and third-party systems (eg fire alarm)
- Each fan coil unit has a dedicated controller that uses different communication protocols to the other controllers in the BMS network. We have used two integration devices to establish communication between them
- The MCPs are manufactured to Form 2 standards. The power section of the MCP includes all necessary circuit protection and switch gear. The BMS section houses all BMS DDC controllers, I/O modules and fascia-mounted user displays
- Underfloor heating zones are controlled by the BMS via a special control panel containing all necessary contacts, circuit breakers and relays. Room air temperatures are monitored via duct temperature sensors. Floor temperature sensors are linked to the BMS for protection
- Installation of fire alarm system, voice evacuation system and other third-party systems
- The BMS monitors the status (panel fault mode) of the control panel via a hardwired connection. It can also communicate with the corresponding third-party systems using the BACnet IP protocol
- We installed and integrated two different systems – Trend for BMS and Crestron for the AV system – to communicate with each other and exchange information using BACnet IP

Project Brief
The project manager worked closely with the wider team to gain a deep understanding of the existing installation and to consider all the options. He also met the client on several occasions to refine the brief and determine the most appropriate solution in keeping with the latest technology, infrastructure and aesthetics of the building.
The real-time management system helps to optimise energy and water usage. And thanks to centralised monitoring, any technical and critical alarms are immediately relayed 24 hours a day.
We also future-proofed the site, meaning that we can add new controllers to any part of the system and they will be able to instantly communicate with the others.
