Interoperability between systems at an enterprise level with the BEMS used as the
master access point
Interoperability between vendors
Ethernet based products
Wireless technology – meters and sensors
Cloud based energy monitoring
Centralised energy management with standardised control strategies
Fault detection and diagnostics
Enterprise level monitoring
Enhanced security requirements

BEMS | RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
BACnet = Building Automation and Control Network
BACnet is "a data communication protocol for building automation and control
networks."
This means it is a set of rules for exchanging BMS information between systems
from different manufacturers.
Developed and supported by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
BACnet was adopted as an ANSI standard in 1995
Adopted as ISO 16484-5 and as European standard EN/ISO 16484-5
The open standard for building automation
Frequently seen as the integration protocol with mechanical systems

BEMS | NEW BUILDING SYSTEMS
Benefits:
Energy efficient design
Most efficient implementation
Full integration and interoperability between systems from the beginning
Optimal metering design
Optimal electrical design
Challenges:
BEMS is the last element to be introduced to a building – time and budgets tight
Design is often reduced
Corners are often cut – metering is left out, integration is not completed etc.
Building starts to drift from day 1 – building not as efficient as intended
OVERVIEW 2013
Control strategies not implemented as intended
BEMS | RETROFIT (NO BMS)
Benefits:
Control & monitoring where it did not previously exist
Reduction in energy usage and cost by up to 50%
Remote monitoring and management
Standardised control strategies for multi-site organisations
Improved occupant engagement
Challenges:
Budget constraints often result in a reduction in design to the bare minimum
Metering is the first element to be removed – you cannot manage what you do not
monitor
BEMS in competition with other energy reduction technologies
OVERVIEW 2013
Energy savings are not maximised & ROI below threshold for further rollout
BEMS | RETROFIT (UPGRADE)
Benefits:
Obsolescence of existing control hardware
Faster Network & increased strategy capacity
Improved Data logging and monitoring
Connection to the cloud for monitoring and control
Improved Integration
Increased metering and sensoring including wireless technology
Improved and standardised control strategies for multi-site organisations
Challenges:
Large capital cost
Budget constraints often result in a reduction in design to the bare minimum
BEMS in competition with other energy reduction technologies
OVERVIEW 2013
Metering is the first element to be removed – you cannot manage what you do not
monitor
BEMS |OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
Smart energy monitoring & increased occupant awareness
Continuous commissioning
Demand response
Proactive / predictive maintenance
Basic On/Off control through relays
Smart control strategies:
Optimising HVAC based on external / internal temperature
Optimising HVAC based on occupancy
Increased set-point dead bands
Plant synchronisation
Occupant based control via sensors & strategies
Standardised control strategies for multi-site organisations with remote control
Removal of occupant control or increased occupant engagement

Fire / Baggage etc.
Public and employee awareness
Continuous monitoring across 350 meters
OVERVIEW 2013
11% savings in 2012 / tracking 20% savings in 2013
SAVINGS| BARRIERS
Lack of capital budgets – look at operational budgets instead? Or phased
implementation? ESCO models?
Scepticism on ROI – sold too many “energy saving products” that have not worked
Energy efficiency not seen as a focus for some organisations
Importance of BEMS is not recognised – control what you use first before changing
plant and equipment
Monitoring not seen as important … this is the cornerstone
Making a project too big – start small and ramp up. Most control based energy
savings projects are easy to implement
No internal champion – external support? Appoint an internal energy champion?
Key to success!
BEMS seen as a single once off project – continuous commissioning is key!
