How to Improve HVAC System Efficiency in Older Buildings
Discover effective strategies for improving HVAC efficiency in older buildings. Explore real-world case studies from historic retrofits like Somerset House.
In the evolving landscape of building management systems (BMS), S-BMS stands out as a groundbreaking solution, especially beneficial for mechanical and electrical contractors. Here are our top 5 benefits:
VEXO S-BMS leverages LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology, which provides extensive coverage and robust connectivity with minimal power consumption. Unlike traditional BMS systems that rely heavily on wired connections, LoRaWAN allows for wireless communication across vast distances, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofits in challenging environments such as historical buildings and large campuses. Check out our Somerset House Case Study.
One of the standout features of S-BMS is its ability to be commissioned and monitored remotely. This means contractors can configure and adjust settings from anywhere, reducing the need for on-site visits. The remote capabilities extend to real-time monitoring, fault detection, and system adjustments, ensuring optimal performance and immediate response to any issues.
VEXO S-BMS significantly improves tenant comfort through precise control and monitoring of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. By using IoT devices like smart thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) and room sensors, the system can adjust temperatures based on occupancy and user preferences. This not only enhances comfort but also reduces energy wastage by ensuring that heating and cooling are provided only when and where needed. Check out our Portsmouth City Council Case Study.
When paired with IoT devices, VEXO S-BMS can lead to substantial energy savings. The system’s advanced algorithms and real-time data analysis optimise energy use, potentially reducing energy consumption by 12-30%. This not only lowers operational costs but also contributes to sustainability goals by reducing the operational carbon footprint of buildings.
VEXO S-BMS has garnered industry recognition and several awards for its innovative approach and efficiency, including the Residential Energy Project of The Year in the prestigious Energy Awards, beating the likes of Octopus Energy and others. Our Somerset House case study showcases a 30% reduction in gas energy usage after the implementation of VEXO S-BMS, highlighting its effectiveness in historical buildings and similarly, Portsmouth City Council achieved a 36% reduction in heating energy usage in one of their residential care homes, demonstrating the system’s impact in real-world applications.
By choosing VEXO S-BMS, you are not only opting for a cutting-edge solution that enhances efficiency and comfort but also committing to sustainability and reduced operational costs.
