Your
Building management system
Solution
Optimising BMS efficiency is crucial; system efficiency can only be ensured when the plant and automatic controls system are optimised and operating effectively. Over time, BMS parameters can be adjusted and not reset, sensors can fall out of calibration, and field devices such as control valves can fail or not operate effectively.
Salvis offers an independent review of the BMS and mechanical systems for clients across the UK, identifying programming and hardware operational issues and inefficiencies that are often missed or ignored during routine maintenance.
BMS Audit
Salvis partners with controls and BMS specialists to carry out a comprehensive audit of your building management system and installed systems, covering:
- Site survey of BMS and building services installations
- Analysis of control strategy and setpoints
- Review of system alarms and safety circuits
- Appraisal of plant operation
- Assessment of energy-saving opportunities
We provide an audit report that gives an overview of the installed systems, details of the system or strategy errors identified, recommendations for remedial measures, budget costs, and an indicative delivery programme.
Addressing inefficient control and then implementing recommended energy-saving and demand-driven control strategies can lead to a significant reduction in gas and electricity consumption, operational costs, and carbon emissions.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Building Management System (BMS)?
A Building Management System (BMS) is a centralised control platform that monitors and manages a building's mechanical and electrical systems, including HVAC, lighting, power, and security. It integrates these systems into a single interface, allowing operators to optimise performance, improve comfort, and reduce energy consumption from one place.
How does a BMS improve energy efficiency and reduce costs?
A BMS continuously collects data from sensors across the building (such as temperature, occupancy, and energy usage) and automatically adjusts systems to reduce waste, for example, lowering heating or lighting in unoccupied areas. This real-time optimisation improves efficiency, lowers utility costs, and supports better long-term maintenance by identifying faults early.
