What is a BEMS?
A Building Energy Management System (BEMS/BMS) enables owners or users to have visibility and control over their buildings energy usage and environmental conditions from anywhere in the world.
Intelligently manage your building with a BEMS
BEMS, also known as BMS, create a comfortable, frictionless and efficient experience for building occupants and operators.
Installing a BEMS helps to futureproof your building, getting it ready for the smart era by intelligently monitoring and controlling your building services such as Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Lighting (HVAC+L).
The optimal level of efficiency is achieved by continuously maintaining the correct balance between your operating requirements and external/internal environmental conditions.
Why leading operators are using BEMS
Energy savings are also good for your bottom-line. Reducing waste will help cut the costs of operating your building. With a BEMS, you’ll quickly see where savings can be made, without compromising on the user/tenant experience.
Building conditions change over time, ensure that your tenants’ workplaces are comfortable and optimised, by remotely monitoring working conditions through a BEMS. Keep track of the working environment via user-friendly dashboards and real-time data.
System downtime is hugely expensive and can be damaging. In specialist environments, such as Data Centers or Healthcare environments, it’s vital that building systems must be reliable and robust. A BEMS can help keep operations running smoothly by alerting users to possible issues before they arise to prevent unplanned downtime.
A BEMS also helps your built environment adapt to changing occupant needs. When requirements change, new products must be compatible with existing installations to reduce the expense of re-installing systems and the waste of perfectly good equipment.
With Trend products being backwards compatible, your system is future-proofed, saving you time, money and resources on things like staff training.
In time, you’ll want your BEMS to do more than simply control your HVAC equipment. Therefore, Trend has designed its BEMS to integrate with third-party systems or products, including:
● Packaged units
● Under-floor heating
● Window/lighting control
● Fire systems
● Access systems
To make the process easier, all Trend Partners are ‘System Integrators’ and can help you identify integration opportunities to make your building ‘smarter.’
With a BEMS, you have tangible proof of your building’s contribution to wider corporate and social responsibility (CSR) goals. A BEMS will provide reports to demonstrate how your building’s energy usage and carbon emissions are reducing, helping you to meet your legislative and CSR demands with external stakeholders, senior decision-makers and more.
