Typical situation no. 40
A 2 MW data center within a commercial building has an old BMS limited to displaying alarms. The building manager learns that the BACS decree requires a compliant building automation and control system.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- The decree sets specific functions: consumption monitoring by use, detection of drifts, manual shutdown and autonomous control.
- Deadlines depend on the rated output of the heating and air-conditioning systems.
- Integrators' proposals are hard to compare.
WHAT WE DO
- Assessment of the existing system against the requirements of the decree.
- Drafting of the specifications for the system to be installed.
- Comparative analysis of proposals.
- Monitoring of implementation and verification of compliance.
WHAT YOU GET
- A compliance assessment.
- Specifications ready for tender.
- A comparison of proposals and a recommendation.
Typical format: Compliance engagement, three to six weeks depending on scope. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
